The first entry in the Spy Hunter series was surprisingly good. This sequel is surprisingly bad. With mission objectives that are difficult to the point that I would much rather listen to Fran Drescher recite Macbeth than watch my car explode one more time, playing Spy Hunter 2 is like living through a train wreck. Throw in an inconsistent targeting system and some of the ugliest texturing this side of the Sega Saturn, and it would seem that this title was created with the sole intent of hurting your feelings. The Interceptor still controls like a dream, but the rest of the game plays like a nightmare.
