Spy Hunter 2
SCORE: 44
Midway went out of business thanks to
games like Spy Hunter 2 on the Xbox and Playstation 2. This vehicle
combat game on rails is horrible. Angel Studios tried to bring back the
action of the old arcade game. They even included a storyline to keep
gamers playing. They decided to attack Christians with Spy Hunter 2;
showing their intolerance for diversity, and hatred.
The ESRB was asleep while rating Spy Hunter 2. They focused on the
violence portion of this driving and blowing everything up video game.
They missed the enticement to lust. Which is in the intro movie at the
very start of the game. No wonder families have little to no respect for
the ESRB. For Family Friendly Gaming it is just another game on the
mountain of mistakes the ESRB has made.
The graphics are average in Spy Hunter 2 at best. Many of them are
re-used so often I got tired of shooting the same things. How can the
bad guys have thousands upon thousands of the same vehicles? Sure was
nice of them to throw themselves at me one and two at a time. Yes I am
mocking their lack of realism. I am sure they promoted it as being
realistic. Sadly too many gaming journalists are too lazy to think for
themselves. They just repeat what they are told to say. No wonder so
many gamers are cynical.
The music in Spy Hunter 2 is annoying at best. The special effect sounds
go along with the excessive and over the top violence. Spy Hunter 2 does
not pay tribute to the original game. Instead it just puts it in the
worst light possible. By proxy it does the same to the entire video game
industry.
