Advantages: Great graphical style, fun, good multi-player

Disadvantages: Stealth missions can be frustrating

This is one of my favourite games that was released for the Gamecube. It immediately caught my attention due to the distinct graphical style. The game is delightfully like a comic book which cartoon animated and split screen boxes showing all the action happening.

Story-wise the game is pretty interesting and there are many twists and turns in the game which adds to the game's quality. They story mode can also be quite challenging especially the stealth missions and although I enjoy a difficult game sometimes it was a tad frustrating.

The multi-player aspect of the game was a stack of fun, the maps are very well designed and the enemy AI of the bots is quite clever and it can actually feel like you're playing human opposition. There is a decent variety of game modes like deathmatch, capture the flag and an exclusive game where you have to hunt down the grim reaper.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game and found that it was best played in multi-player with friends but that the single-player experience is also very worthwhile.

Summary: A classic Gamecube game that should have been rated more highly that it was!
