Anyone ever play this game? I loved it when I was a kid, I have memories of plugging this into a tv at my dad's office and playing it while he was busy. I'm about to play it for the first time since before the PS3 came out (Bonus: Found the memory card with my save files!). Observation: PS2 graphics really suck on a 60" tv.

I still have that somewhere(never gets rid of games), but I remember it being nearly impossible.

I don't get rid of games either. I can't get past the last two levels.

I rented the PS1 Spy Hunter and it was way too difficult.

I always wanted to play that game, but an overly protective mother disallowed it. It got worse after I played Burnout 2. She sent the rental back just hours after my brother and I started playing, and we were having so much fun.

towards the end was a big canyon you had to circle around a big hole blowing up specific things then once inside the base there were warheads to destroy? If so yes I remember that game well. Fun but a challenge.

I do remember it being pretty difficult. Funny is I saw a Reddit thread about the Lion King and even a game dev of it chimed in to say how difficult it was. Oddly enough that was the first game I beat all the way through

I don't think I got past the first two. :(

I remember playing an arcade version where it had a wheel but you had to stand while playing.

Played this A LOT at a friend's house. Decided to get Spy Hunter 2, because higher is always better. What a POS that game was.

Loved the theme song of the PS2/Xbox spy hunter. Don't really remember the game.

I loved the original in the arcades. Dr. Mrs. apparently used to play the game with her brother "Spritle and Chim-Chim style." She would steer while he hit the pedals.

I got the PS2 game and my favorite part about it wasn't the graphics, it was the lead in. The bad guys have a meeting about some overblown plan and how certain they are of victory. "The only person who can stop us is an agent who thwarted us back in 1983 . . . " and they show the back wheel of a silver car. Made my day.
