I loved this game when I was a kid and I still love it now!! Needs a remake to update the graphics and gameplay!!!!. Like a lot of people say there is nothing like this game. It is clever, makes you be clever - especially on higher dificulties, and makes you properly feel like a spy rather than a murder machine who sometimes finds clues. The random nature of each mission makes it keep feeling like a puzzle. Yes the enemy only chase a few goals but I think it is better to think of it as a puzzle game that hides that fact very well. So crosswords only have so many clues and Sudokus are repedative when it comes down to it but because you are working it out each time it feels fun. It is also great when you realise it isn't truely random and the bits that aren't random make sense (ie if one spy agency is active in a city then check out their dossier and wiretap their allies in the same city).The minigames make it. Each has its purpose and it's own skill set so find what works best for you as a spy and go for it (wire tap and infiltration for me).The controls take a bit of getting used to and in some ways it almost feels turn based, that is there is a second between each action for you and the enemies so even if you respond a touch late they do as well.I am sitting here on a rig in 2018 worth thousands wishing someone would make the next in this series (or just rip it off). Every year or so I come back to this game for a bit more of a play (only recently on steam, hence the short hours). It would make a 50x better mobile game than most of the stuff out there if someone made a mobile version of it.. With combat, car chases, hacking, codebreaking and an overall investigation where the enemy has their own schedules and adapt in response to your actions, this is the comprehensive hollywood espionage/counterterrorist sim. There's still no game quite like it. An all-time favorite of mine.. Incredibly fun game. Holds up well if you can get past the ancient graphics and keyboard-only controls.. 25 years since I last played it, and I still can't really work out how to do the driving bit properly. And still a brilliant, fun game.
