They tried to improve the visuals, but somehow the gameplay got worse here. Just not fun to play.

Aside from the graphical update, with the game looking MUCH better in comparison to the original, there really isn’t that much going for Spy Hunter II, and I didn’t really like it as much as the original Spy Hunter. Also, sometimes when you die, the police or whoever they are say to you “Don’t drive drunk!” Ha ha, silly policeman, I’m not drunk! At least, I’m not drunk this time, anyway…

Game #259

Played on Midway Arcade Classics Vol. 2. What a downgrade when compared to the original. It's interesting to see simultaneous 2 player attempted, but it came at the cost of everything else. The gameplay is less refined, feels worse, looks worse, and allows for less nuance. Its overly difficult and the 2 player itself doesn't even appear to be used to the extent it should have been considering how the game has nothing else to offer. I can only go by the attract screen since I have no one, but going off of that indicates they couldn't even deliver on the one thing the game had going for it. Definitely avoid this one.
