The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
You play a cartoon supervillain, juggling a secret lair, minions, and global schemes with a light, satirical touch.

What players say
Players love the campy tone and James Bond parody, but the game is held back by bugs and dated design. The unofficial patch is considered essential, and some find the difficulty curve punishing with heat rising too fast.
