The game received unfavorable reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3] Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen said in an early review, "Industrial Spy isn't bad, by any means. The graphics are good, and many of the characters are more fleshed out than they first appear. Mostly though, the game makes you look forward to I Spy 2, when hopefully [the developers have] worked out the kinks."[9] (Ironically, there was never a sequel to the game itself.) GamePro said that the game's storyline "could've carried it far, but control problems and incredibly slow gameplay waste the concept."[10][lower-alpha 1]
Notes
- GamePro gave the game 4/5 for graphics, 3/5 for sound, 2/5 for control, and 2.5/5 for fun factor.
