Spyhunter 2 E3 2003 Preshow Report

SpyHunter 2 is the follow-up to 2001’s highly popular driving action game SpyHunter, and it will be shown at Midway’s E3 booth this year. The game is set to feature numerous gameplay improvements over its predecessor, as well as a host of new missions, enemies, and weapons. You will once again assume the role of Alec Sects, still fighting the evil forces of Nostra via your technologically advanced Interceptor. Now, however, Alec will have a partner in a sexy female agent whose background is shrouded in mystery. With the aid of this enigmatic agent and Leonie 2.0, an upgraded version of the Interceptor’s online computer, you will take on Nostra’s forces in fast-paced, action-packed driving combat.

SpyHunter 2’s will feature a brand-new G-8155 Interceptor, complete with upgraded transformations, snow and off-road capabilities, and a new advanced weapon and equipment system that allows you to customize the vehicle with weaponry to suit your personal style of play. New, upgradable weapons for the game will include an auto-tracking turret, smoke screens, oil slicks, land mines, and an indestructible armored shield. More than 16 levels will be included in SpyHunter 2, spread out through four massive, interactive regions with multiple available paths, allowing you to play through missions however you want. Four giant, end-of-mission boss battles will come at the end of each region, including eight all-new enemies that require you to use strategy and innovation in addition to firepower and speed.

SpyHunter is scheduled for release on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube this fall. We'll have more comprehensive coverage of the game in the near future.
