Secret Agent is a throwback to old platform style games, like Double Dragon – only *finally* you have a gun! The object of the game is to get past the various thugs and hooligans to the Boss. Pretty simple, and definitely appealing to those of us who used to spend hours on platform beat-em-up games.

The first level is in a warehouse where you’ll encounter villains not only armed with guns, but baseball bats and worse. You’ll have to move yourself in front of them to shoot, but be careful not to get hurt yourself.

One of the neat parts of this game is that you automatically start out with a few weapons and you can pick more up as you go along. The default ones are pistol, grenade and landmine. Pretty early on I picked up a knife too, but the more you play the more you’ll find more weapons – including a laser gun. What’s a secret agent without a laser gun, am I right?

For each villain/thug that you kill you will receive monies – all in a days work, right? Travel through each level and you’ll find different ways of defeating your enemies, hiding from them, or out tricking them. The description even boasts of an invisibility jacket. You’ll have to avoid those enemies if you want to stay alive – watch your heath meter, or else;

Now, while I certainly did enjoy the game quite a bit – I did find it a little slow at times. The initial load was particularly long. Several of the review on iTunes state that it’s near impossible to play on the original iPhone (which is what I use for my reviews), but I didn’t find it that bad. I’m sure anyone on a newer generation 3GS or 4 wouldn’t have any problems, or newer iPod Touches.

Also, while the graphics are just fine, and the controls and features are suited well, I still think that $1.99 is a bit pricey for this game. If it were slightly more in depth or had an additional level of game-play it would be great – as it is, I wish it were 99 cents. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth $1.99 – it very much is – I just prefer games with more puzzle-like qualities, I suppose.

Keeping all of that in mind, I think that this game will appeal to quite a few people and that those people will have a blast playing Secret Agent – if you also think you’re one of those people, why not give it a try?
