Review by 4LfClover
Well, this is a great game, I recommend it for
the biggest fans of Totally Spies. Back to the review: my favorite
stages of the game? The dancing stage, and the one where they're in the
submarine off Kiwi-Kiki island, and that's about it. Oh, I also liked
the snowmobile chase and the antigravity cycles chase.
 Snowmobile chase My least
favorite parts: when you were timed for 3 minutes to evacuate the base
of the volcano in the Kiwi-Kiki mission. That wasn't fun. I messed up
like, 14 times before I finally got Alex safely out.
The best
part of this game would have to be when you have all the codes and go
to www.totallyspies.com and enter them in, and get bonuses for your
computer. Well, only 2 of the 6 prizes worked, which were the buddy
icons and the screensaver.
Now…the graphics. They were pretty
good, for being Atari. See, I’m into Nancy Drew books and PC games, and
in one of the past Nancy Drew games the graphics weren’t as realistic
as the graphics from the other games. But, I approve of these graphics,
the spies look realistic and everything.

The music was okay, but
the sound effects were the best. My favorite sound effects would have
to be the sound when you revive some of your health with the heart
health restoration pieces, and you also hear that same sound in
episodes of Totally Spies.
One of the setbacks is that there are only 5
missions, and that you can easily finish the game in 3 hours, like how
I did. There should have been maybe 10 of them, and more gadgets to use.
There
wasn’t much excitement, more frustration, though. Like when you’re in
the submarine off Kiwi-Kiki island, and you’re underwater and trying to
locate Terrence Lewis, and cut the wires on all 6 underwater bombs, and
you get so far and then lose all health and die, and wind up way early
on in the game, because the bombs are so wide spread apart. This means
you end up at the last bomb you cut wires off of, and in some cases,
you can end up at a way-far-away place from where you were last at
before you died.
The screenshot gallery in the game is sort of
taken from the first That’s So Raven game for the GBA, only, some of
the screenshots weren’t from real episodes, but from stages in the
game, which I thought was a major setback.
Another huge setback in
the game was in the mission “A Lovely Singer”, in the sub-mission
“Escape!” when you have to escape the panic room, and when you need to
cross the area without getting caught by the cameras using the
“publicity panels” to safely get across. You have to wait until the
panels align directly and perfectly side-by-side until you inch forward
to the next panel, or else somehow, defying the laws of physics, the
security cameras will catch you. It took me about 20 or so times to get
across using the panels with Ricky’s face on them.
I also think
that Sam and Clover could’ve been in more of the “action levels”, the
ones where one of the spies is on foot and kicking butt and stuff, the
ones that Alex usually appears in.
