Not a real return to form, but closer!
Graphically still confusing, but this time no colour again only B&W, which works fine with the artic theme and adds a touch of mystery to the game.
Your object this time is to launch a subterranean intergalactic rocket.
There are countless hazards besides your trusty Nemesis, the other spy, you have thin ice, blizzards, snow, etc.
The real problems are the speed of the game which tends to slow too much when the 2 spies are in both screens and the 'Trapulator' that is really annoying to use, more even than on the previous game.
Despite all that I must say I really enjoyed playing this game as much as the first, it takes a while getting use to the speed and the graphics (detecting entrances or exits is a pain in the neck) but once you do it's quite enjoyable.

Did anybody need a third Spy vs Spy? I don't think so.

2,5/5
