Spy Hunter (スパイハンター) is a remake of the original 1983 driving game with the same name. The setting draws inspiration from the James Bond spy films while adding its own unique twists.

Michael Gottlieb and Murphy Michaels are the producer and lead artist respectively. Shawn Wright serves as the game designer and art director.

Plot[]

Nostra, a global organization linked to political factions, plans to disrupt the world by removing electricity. The IES forms Spyhunter, recruiting FBI-trained Alec Sects to counter their illegal activities.

Gameplay[]

The goal of the game is to go through a selected course and complete a series of objectives using the G-6155 Interceptor, a spy car modified with built-in weapon parts and other unique features. Motor controls include braking, driving in reverse, and activating turbo boosts. The vehicle's speed and health meters are displayed on top of the user interface.

Weapons disable enemy vehicles or objects, with R1 or R2 allowing for cycling between weapons and firing with L1 or L2. Frontal weapons have homing capabilities, while rear weapons are more effective with a rear view monitor.

Operations[]

The game offers a single player mode with 14 missions, each with unique objectives, weapon upgrades, and enemy data. Primary objectives clear stages, while secondary objectives unlock additional content.

Two-Player Mode[]

A competitive mode between two players, it makes use of already-cleared courses to enact one of three challenges. Players destroyed in this mode will simply respawn.

  • SPY2 HEAD TO HEAD - A one-on-one racing game.
  • GLOBE TROTTER - The goal is to collect as many SATCOMs as possible.
  • CHICKEN HUNTER - Kill more chickens than the other to win.

Characters[]

  • Alec Sects - Voiced by Brian Silva. An F-15 pilot trained by the FBI, he is recruited by the IES to take down Nostra.
  • Daemon Curry - The founder of Nostra and a believer of prophecies. Admired for his business acumen and political savvy, Curry is actually a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur.
Glossary
  • Nostra International - A Israeli-founded global company, involved in food, bio-chemicals, and electronics, has been misappropriating funds to incite terrorism and build weapons of mass destruction, including the Four Horsemen satellites.
  • IES - Known as the International Espionage Services, this organization works behind the scenes to monitor Nostra's activities and neutralize them. To that end, they engineer the formation of Spyhunter and provide its members with back-up support.
  • G6155 Interceptor - A state of the art vehicle invented by the IES, it sports numerous functions and weapon compartments for espionage purposes. The vehicle turns into a jet hovercraft upon landing on water and becomes a motorcycle after sustaining too much damage; while motorcycle mode has better acceleration and handling, its arsenal choice is limited. An advanced AI is also installed to help analyze and identify targets. The Mark II version comes with improved speed, superior weaponry, and an infrared scanner that can detect unseen objects.
  • SATCOM - IES tracking units that monitor the Interceptor's progress and provide replenishment from weapons vehicles per mission.
