Like the other games really only fun when played 2 player. The novelty had worn off off a bit as it was the third instalment and I didn't put too much time into the game.

As good as the second game in the series. The whole Spy VS Spy saga has been forgotten about. I would love to see it come back.

... And yet another sequel, but a really funny one :). The plots can make the opponent's progress fall into thin ice, and the game is even more amusing. I love it!

I think this was my favourite Spy vs Spy because on some of the maps (two of them I think) there would be an island with an igloo on it all to itself - a nice little base, I thought...

Have not the class from the first Spy Vs. Spy game but far better then part 2 where you can defeated your enemy complete at the beginning. Not one of my favourite games like part 1 but still good.

A nice game, but the first two are way better.

This game I remember buying when it was released... Many think this is the weakest in the series, I just think its more of the same. Again, some funny traps and animations, but the scenery is just so... White. Playability could be better. Nothing new under the sun, but still great two-player fun.

As with the second installment, this is not as charming or frantic as the first one for my money.

The best one of the Spy V/S Spy games. The graphics looks superb but game-play still lacks majorly !!!
