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.
