Spy Hunter: Nowhere To Run

Reviewed by:

While it seems that the Spy Hunter series gets resuscitated more often than Dick Cheney, this iteration is actually rock solid, with the emphasis placed squarely on the word "rock." For the first time ever, the identity of Spy Hunter's mysterious driver is revealed and—holy rat farts, Batman—it's Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The game gets off to a Cracker Jack start when the Intercepter—your silver spy hunter IROC-Z-looking car—gets pinched. The Rock, aka Alex Decker, must don a cheeseball mustache and go undercover to take back his precious ride. Within minutes we were planting bombs aboard a cargo ship, tossing security guards to their deaths over the ship's bow, and flirting with a female scientist so well-endowed that she'd make any Hooter's bartender feel woefully inadequate. Spyhunter's B-movie style action, just like that Hooter's drink-slinger, has no aspirations to be anything other than a pleasant distraction, which is completely fine by us.
