Advantages: Really fun, Unique game, Exciting to play, Multiplayer is fun (Xbox Live)

Disadvantages: Low replay value, A bit repetitive

This game was so fun when it came out, but it got boring rather quickly and I am not sure why. It was a bit repetitive in the way every time you went to kill a boss, it was the same thing but just in a different building or location.

You are some super agent who can increase skills in strength, agility, driving, shooting and explosives. These skills could be raised by earning orbs through taking part in each skill. For example, there are loads of agility orbs located around the huge city, which could be obtained from reaching them. Some were in higher places that were hard to reach so you would need a better agility level to get them through jumping higher and running faster. You can increase strength by beating opponents with your own body. You can increase driving by doing jumps and tricks in cars. You can increase shooting by killing enemies with firearms and you can increase your explosives skill by killing enemies with grenades or explosive weapons.

It is a really fun and unique game. The map is rather large and consists of three main islands. You start on the first island and go around killing gangs and earning respect. In the end, you head to take out the king pins, who are the bosses of various gangs. You do so in different buildings - some of which are quite fun to fight in. One of them has an elevator and brings you to extreme heights. Another brings you through a chinese-themed building with dragons everywhere and a lovely garden on the roof near the boss. The bosses have a lot more health than the other enemies, but the enemies can take down your health before you get to them. With the weapons you can use in this game along with the grenades and explosives, you can wipe out people quickly and have loads of fun.

It isn´t really a hard game but it is really fun. The enemies are like rag-dolls and flop around when you kill them. You can even pick up enemies and throw them at other people. With increasing strength, you can pick up cars, trucks and larger objects as you get stronger. With better driving skills, you can get better upgrades on the agency cars. You are an agent working for the police, so they are on your side and help you against the gangs.

Overall, it is a very fun game and is exciting to play. You can create huge explosions and have loads of fun. You can buy the Xbox 360 Classic version on amazon.co.uk for £18.48 and I would highly recommend it as it is a very fun game! The only problem I had is the low replay value. It was great fun at first but got boring quickly. However, there are side bits to the game such as races.

Thanks for reading,

Summary: A really unique and fun game to play where you can create havoc and huge explosions
