A Light Gun Game by Sega, best described as Virtua Cop WITH A SPY THEME! Released in 2000 for the Naomi arcade board, a Sega Dreamcast port with extra gameplays modes followed in 2001, being one of the last first-party release for the system.The World’s Coalition weaponized satellite has been hijacked by the terrorist group Agares. The Confidential Mission Force has dispatched agents Howard Gibson and Jean Clifford to resolve the case. Their mission, should they choose to accept it, will have them retrieve a data disk in from a museum that is a front for Agare’s evil activities, rescue a programmer held hostage in an alpine train and infiltrate the organisation’s Elaborate Underground Base for a final showdown. Hey, nobody said the life of a secret agent would be easy!The game plays much like Virtua Cop with two major additions: the first is that Mook Chivalry is abandoned, meaning multiple enemies can take aim at the player at any given time. Players will thus need to learn how to prioritize targets, as the order enemies will shoot you is not necessarily the same as when they appear on the screen. The other is the presence of Operations, short sequences where players must complete a specific task and whose success or failure will determine how you progress throughout the level.

Arrange Mode: The Dreamcast port adds a few: Agent Academy, which has you go three-step training exercises for various skills (Reflexes, Target prioritization, Justice Shot, 3-hits combo, timing, and ID-ing hostages from enemies). Once the initial set of exercise is completed, the player unlocks... Another World, which is the main campaign with slightly altered layouts, rearranged background music, and trickier enemy placement focusing on the skills learned in Agent Academy (there are many more sequences involving shooting partially-concealed enemies or timing shots between running hostages, for instance). Display Off, which removes all HUD markers including the lock-on sight.

Flunky Boss: The first stage's boss mostly crawls and run around between cover, activating traps in the Egyptian exhibit while you deal with his henchmen. He only pops up to take the occasional potshot, mostly behind your back.

Blasting It Out of Their Hands: As with Virtua Cop, shooting the enemy’s weapon-holding hand will result in a Justice Shot (and bonus points). Unlike Virtua Cop, however, you can shoot their hand a second time just to be sure.

comment
Invisibility Cloak: The Final Boss wears a ridiculous looking outfit made of numerous video screens, though its purpose is revealed when he pulls a similarly screen-covered hood over his head and turns invisible. Shimmering can still be seen as he darts around, and the screens start to glitch and fail to display properly as he takes damage.

Interface Screw: One trapped room in the first stage has you locked in a small room with poison gas coming through the vents. Your vision gets wavy and warped as you breathe it in. Even if you succeed in disarming the trap, you still have to endure the wavy screen for a few seconds while you fight off enemy soldiers and wait for the poison to clear your system. A short event in Stage 2 has the agents looking into a train car from the roof, so you fend off several soldiers while upside down.

comment
Painfully Slow Projectile: Some enemies will toss grenades at you that can be shot out of the air. As is standard for most light gun game bosses, most of their attacks consist of rockets and similar explosive projectiles that can be shot out of the air. The first boss activates missile launchers hidden in the museum, while the second shoots missiles from his mobile artillery as he chases the agents. The third boss uses several strange gadgets such as explosive pucks and rocket launching drones, all with attacks that can be shot out of the air.

Body Armor as Hit Points: Players can collect armor pick-ups, which protects the player equipped from a single hit no matter the caliber. It does not protect from a life loss if the player shoots an hostage and does not persist between levels.
