SpyHunter is a vehicular combat game released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. It is a reboot and sequel of the 1983 arcade game of the same name. It was later ported to GameCube, Xbox, Game Boy Advance, Windows, Mac OS X, and Tapwave Zodiac. In the game, the player drives the G-6155 Interceptor, an advanced, weaponized spy vehicle. Unlike the original's top-down view, the remake is played with a chase camera, similar to a racing game. The PlayStation 2 version received positive reviews while reception for the ports was mixed. A sequel, SpyHunter 2, was released in 2003.
