The Rock's cheesy PS2 game

When you google SpyHunter it comes up with anti-virus software with the same name which I think is telling

Midway were the masters of fun. Not always the most super polished quality games, but they had a over the top wacky arcade-y vibe that is sorely lacking these days.

[pajamapantsjack]

The rock having a pointed gun at his face, and following up with an admittedly very long quip before taking the dude out is the most early 2000’s thing I’ve ever seen and I love it so much

[ItchHeSay]

Sometimes I really miss this era of games. There were far more titles that weren't designed to be hype magnets, but fun, easy-to-pick-up distractions that were never looking to get any awards. I think middle market games are doing better than they were than in the mid-2010s, though. I don't always want to play a game that consumes so much of my time that it demands all of my attention. Sometimes I just want a cheap, fun romp that will last me 5 hours or so.

A movie tie-in game without a movie to tie into is always something fascinating.

[contrabandresearch]

Video games used to be the Wild West of entertainment and there was tons of weird stuff like this in every genre. We need Midway more than ever.

[chrisrichfield]

I feel like I'd unironically love this game. Has that blockbuster or gamefly vibe, something you rent for 2 days and beat as quick as possible and enjoy it the whole time but completely forget it exists for years until some obscure youtuber like minime makes a video of it.

[tylertheguy]

I miss Midway. They put out a lot of hidden gems, especially during the 6th gen.

[mister_milkman]

I miss the times when Dwayne could play a character in a movie and not himself. He's the same character in every movie now.

[sirensongss]

i’m curious if the rock actually remembers this game cuz man the cue card read in that game awards clip seems like he remembers the game exists as he reads

[CaedusRising]

You are single handedly keep a whole era of mid games Alive on this channel
Thank you!

[WolvTerror]

I loved the first spy hunter game on the ps2. Such absurd fun

[aridddle]

Stranglehold wasn't a bad game, it was actually pretty fun and it introduced me to the movie hard boiled

[faxmuchine]

the hierarchy of power in the PS2's game library changed with this game!!

[KarimJovian]

They were suppose to make a movie with the rock called SPyhunter but instead made the game and never made the movie

[budaroddy]

I like that they actually get out of their confort zone, Midway was doing new things, the MK Deception Konkest mode could be the best story mode for a fighting game ever

[frank.e.wildcat]

Loved this game as a kid. Especially the little spyhunter mini games. I remember grinding for hours and hours on the hardest difficulty (which for my prepubescent little self was probably way harder than in reality) to unlock infinite ammo or upgraded versions of all the weapons I can't remember

[shrewmastercomics]

You are always reviewing the games I grew up playing that no one remembers and make me question if the games were all just a fever dream..

[persondude]

10:15 can’t help but grin hearing minimme’s voice slowly become more and more giddy as he explains this 😁

[jonbourgoin]

You upload pretty sporadically to the point that I always forgot I subbed to you and then you upload again and I'm so happy I subbed.

6:30 I burst out laughing at the punching sound affects lol
