     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.

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.
