 Review - Spy vs. Spy // Xbox /// Eurogamer
As either Black Spy or White Spy (it makes no difference which you choose), your mission is to make your way through a series of environments - including a mysterious mansion, a deserted fairground and a space station - defeating enemies, solving puzzles and ultimately defeating your oppositely-coloured nemesis.
The difficulty is that since the Spy vs. Spy comic strip first appeared, comedy weapons have come a long way.

 WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
My favorite spreads were always the Spy vs. Spy comics, which featured the sneaky hijinks of two weasel-like spies (and fueled many ill-advised attempts at booby trapping my own home).
In these comics, the white spy and the fl spy would battle it out for various objects, and their battles were always composed of elaborate — and sometimes less than elaborate — traps.
The primary mode is a fairly revamped version of the original, where each spy has a set amount of cash at the outset, with which to purchase his various traps, defenses and weapons.

 Spy vs. Spy (XBOX) Reviews on Darkstation
Spy vs. Spy was not made for the single player, but instead the multiplayer, which is supposed to be what makes this game worthwhile.
Spy vs. Spy is one of those games that tries to take advantage of the public by using these loveable characters and giving a mediocre experience, and for me this just did not work.
Spy vs. Spy costs $20, but with that being said I think if you dish out an extra thirty bucks you could get a great shooter that the Xbox is known for.

 Spy Vs Spy Review for Xbox - Gaming Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Spy Vs. Spy attempts to recreate the comic environment created in the strip's mythos by providing single-or-multiplayer action with a variety of cartoonishly-violent weaponry and sneaky gadgets.
In addition to fending off the traps and direct attacks by your spy nemesis, you also must infiltrate and combat the troops of a madman named "The General" who has several bases of various themes containing high-tech gadgetry under heavily-guarded safes for you to sneak in and steal.
The Spies are rendered faithfully to their comic book counterparts, and some of the costume enhancements are well done, but the enemies are not nearly as imaginative.

 Spy vs. Spy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During 1962-65, the comic was sometimes called Spy vs. Spy vs. Spy ("X and Y and Z" in some countries) and featured a female spy, Lady in Grey, with whom both White and Black Spy were in love.
The Black and White Spies: Employed by the embassies of two nations and identical except for the color of their uniforms, the Spies do battle against each other with a variety of complicated (sometimes ridiculously so) weapons, machines and Rube Goldberg-style props.
When she appeared, the strips were retitled Spy vs Spy vs Spy, and instead of either of the Black or White Spy winning, Grey won and they both lost.

 Spy vs. Spy (Xbox) Review at RewiredMind.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The original Spy vs. Spy for the NES was one of the finest games on the system, in my opinion.
Taken from the MAD strip of the same name, the game saw you pitting the White Spy against the Black Spy (or vice versa) and trying to beat the opponent to the punch by utilising a whole load of booby traps and insane weapons to stop them in their spying.
Yep, Spy vs. Spy is as generic as they come if you don’t spend any time with it, but once you do, there are surprises abound.

 Spy Vs Spy Microsoft Xbox Video Game Review by AceGamez
In fact, this is one of Spy's strongest modes but not quite the classic Spy Vs. Spy I was after.
Part of the fun is to be able to think "yes, that dumb spy walked right into that trap of mine," but then that part of the fun disappears when you don't know which trap the numbskull fell for.
Trap the door and unsuspecting spies die upon opening; trap the safe and spies get a nasty surprise when they open her up; lay a mine and watch it explode when a spy gets near.

Spy vs. Spy is a license that's really loaded with game-crossover potential.
You have to be a super-genius spy much of the time, though, as it's often tough to tell what you're supposed to do next--as if the transmission from headquarters is complexly encrypted.
The sound is minimal, with some very low-key, generic spy tunes and little in the way of sound effects.

Log on to www.boston.com/ae and tell us which TV spy show you think delivers the goods.alone, he began with a leap forward two years, which the fled-out Sydney is struggling to remember.
On the sloppy "24," which airs Tuesdays at 9 on Fox, this season's three-year leap forward is an excuse to leave last season's cliffhanger unaddressed; on "Alias," the leap is now the central dramatic topic.
Last season, all of the spy activity played out like an externalization of Sydney's conflict over her divorced parents, an almost Freudian struggle as she bounced between her kindly father and her mysterious mother.

Single-player story mode has the Spy (you can choose which color) searching for the plans to defeat the General and his doomsday device, but still requires bashing baddies and searching for secret plans in safes.
The Spy models move like you would expect them to, and they have permanent grins plastered on their beaky faces.
While I wish they had taken the bold step of making the entire Spy vs. Spy world fl and white (like certain commercials that could be mentioned…), the colorful cartoony world fits and looks fine.

The Black Spy has set some traps for you along the way but these are fairly easily fooled.
Regardless, the cartoony world of Spy vs Spy is fairly clever and still fun even though other elements—like AI, story, and depth are lacking.

Those who grew up with the Spy vs. Spy comic in Mad Magazine or even could take trip back to their childhood and remember the hours spent on the old NES game can attest to their fond memories they had of two opposing spies sporting either fl and white outfits.
This formula is all too apparent in their attempt to bring Spy vs. Spy to a generation.
In starting the game up, (after a rather annoying CGI movie of both of the spies) we are treated to a rather barebones menu.

 Spy vs. Spy : SF Indymedia
Proposed legislation would compel people to spy on their family members and neighbors, forcing all Americans to become foot soldiers in the war on drugs.
Here's how the "spy" section of the legislation works: If you "witness" certain drug offenses taking place or "learn" about them, you must report the offenses to law enforcement within 24 hours and provide "full assistance in the investigation, apprehension and prosecution" of the people involved.
Failure to do so would be a crime punishable by a mandatory minimum two-year prison sentence, and a maximum sentence of 10 years.
