Forums - Gaming - "Secret Service" rocks!

madskillz on 28 January 2009

Ok, I snagged like 8 games for the 360 off craigslist a few days ago. One was an Activision title, 'Secret Service.' It's a shooter and you are assigned to protect the pres. I gave it a spin.

Oh my - this game rocks. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but this game is just fun. The concept is really cool - you find yourself in the White House, the Capital and underground DC. The game's not perfect, the controls are ... meh - but the gameplay is fun and intense. I was diggin' on the shootout in the House of Representative chambers ... but what really sold me are the achievements.

Some of the achievements in the game:

1. Hopefully No Long Term Effects…
Received 15 hits from high voltage fences without dying from electric shock.

2. Some Of Them Still Have Minutes
Picked up 10 Cell Phones.

3. Loves Fire, Hates Red Containers
Blew up 10 fire extinguishers.

4. Drop The Pin…
Killed yourself with your own grenade.

5. Expert Marksman
Fired an entire magazine without hitting anyone.

and my personal favorite -

6. Don’t Tase Me Bro
Electrocuted 35 enemies using the Stun Gun or Taser.

The game is a hoot. It's worth a rent. I am loving it.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Man, don't even ask me about that one! LOL. 'Drop the pin' was even worse. You gets 0 gamer points for it too.

Maybe I'll check it out when this is like $5.

Achievements sound hilarious though.

Not sure. It's an Activision game and I believe it uses the COD-4 engine. It's not very polished as COD4. It was released in fall 08. I saw it and said Meh. It's an interesting game.

One thing I thought was interesting is - the terrorists in the game are Hispanic/American, not Arabic. I'm glad they didn't go to the Mideast to find terrorists.

@Onyxmeth - it's only like $30 new anyhow. You can prolly find it for $5 soon.

Well I think of it like this. It's probably not nearly as good as some games I don't have that are used for $10, so it needs to be less to be worth it.
