Spy vs. Spy
By
Jorden
Mad Magazine has been
around for Almost 50 years and Spy VS. Spy is one
of it's most Popular comics. Spy VS. Spy tells
the story of the war between the White and the
Black Spy. Every strip ends with one Spy getting
killed just like poor Kenny McCormick. How well
was this series ported to Game Boy?
Graphics:
7
Graphics
are not the game's strong factor nor do they need
to be. Everything is easily identifiable and both
spies are easily black or white. A bookshelf
looks like a bookshelf and a desk looks like a
desk. When 2 spy's are in the same room one half
of the screen turns gray as the other half shows
the battle! What more do you want?
Game
Play: 8
You
walk around searching a building for 4 special
items and a briefcase to hold them. Unfortunately
for you your rival spy would like to leave the
building with the same items. B is used to place
traps on either stationary stuff (desks,
bookshelves, etc.), the doors, or even just the
room. A is to check the stationary stuff for your
much needed items. Weapons can be found as well
and like in real life the knife does more damage
than a stick or fists. First Spy to get all items
and exit wins. There are 32 different levels and
you can play (via Link Cable) against a friend on
any of them.
Sound:
8
Music
that sounds like it came out of a James Bond or
Mission Impossible movie adds well to the
atmosphere. The Sound effects are what you'd
expect from 2 cartoon spies trying to kill each
other.
Lasting
Value: 8
There
are 32 stages split among 4 worlds (vehicles)
that you must beat. With item locations that
change every time you play besides the map you
will never get the same game twice! Lets not
forget the link cable deathmatch/race to get all
the items first.
Bottom
Line
This
is an insanely fun game that even someone who
isn't a fan of Mad can get into. Mainly about
getting the items before the other spy than being
funny. Quite a good way to kill some time.
Final
Score: 8 out of 10
(this is not an average)
Received
a E rating from the ERSB with a warning of Mild
Animated Violence
