Summary: Not SPY HUNTER without PETER GUNN!!
Comment: MIDWAY should be ashamed! The creators of these games have been insulted!
The front of the box shows what the game looked like in Arcades.
The back of the box, shows the sad let down that is the GBA version!
Now if that isn't deceptive advertising, I don't know what is!!
Please, why did they even bother, there's no reason to even talk about the gameplay when there is no theme song!
Super Sprint has decent sound and music, why not Spy Hunter?
They will never faithfully translate Spy Hunter, every couple of years they try, and they get worse and worse... The new PSP edition has music, but it is not 100% and what's worse, it is unplayable due to the fact that the steering control is at about 50% of what it takes to knock cars into the ditch in this game...
For people new to the game, it won't even come close to grasping them, and to fans of the game it is a complete insult, do they think we have forgotten after all of these years? Or I suppose they think we will be amazed by the pretty pictures and sounds (which on GBA, the lack thereof), without even playing the game...
The only way to play Spy Hunter is to purchase an original 500lb. sit down arcade game machine, which I did several years ago, and barring it's aged appearance, it is the coolest thing I know in this world!

Summary: Great translations, NO MUSIC . . . .
Comment: I recently purchased SpyHunter/Super Sprint for the Gameboy Advance. While the cart is a pretty true-to-form translation of the arcade versions of these classics, one minor fault fells its ability to shine as a game: namely, there is NO MUSIC, save for the intro. screen.
For those from my generation who have played the SpyHunter arcade classic, they know that one of the key elements of the game was the "Peter Gunn" theme song playing under the game as you manuvered the streets, hunting down bullet-proof cars, tire-slashing roadsters and hit-man limos. Unfortunately, there is no music on this cart and it suffers greatly for it. Gone is the feel of the arcade game's charm and the player is left only with a shell of the game's former self.
Too bad Bally Midway didn't have the fortitude to include one of the most vital element's of the game: the music. And so the search for a true translation of SpyHunter from the arcade days goes on . . . .
