Game description: Your mission is to stop the enemy spies from progressing with their plans. Your car is fitted with advanced gadgets and weapons, like no other. Upgrades are achieved as you go from city to city all across the world to prevent the world from being taken from the enemy.
In the original Spy Hunter, a popular arcade game, the player drives a souped-up spy car with Bond fittings. While the original was viewed from high above, Midway revamped it with next generation graphics and a behind the car view. One of the staff members involved in the game's development was British stand-up comedian Imran Yusuf.

Comments: The game runs very smoothly.
- Under Game Fixes you must enable Delay V1F1 Stalls, otherwise levels will not load.
Bugs:
- The skybox glitches/flickers occasionally (Very noticeable in the second level).
- On cutscenes the right side of the video is blurred. To fix this you can use the manual game fix "Switch to GSDx software rendering when a FMV plays". This only occurs if you change the internal resolution in GSdx.
Additional Info:
- Setting VU Cycle Stealing to 3 causes screen tearing.
