==Why It Criticized==
#Many unfunny rip-offs of James Bond characters and organisations (e.g. M.I.5. = R.I.S.K, SPECTRE = SUSPECTRA, Q = W, Miss Moneypenny = Miss Honeybunny, Oddjob = Oddjaw, Dr No = Dr Nogo).
#Dull-and-repetitive boat missions.
#The game's story does nothing but bear the elements from James Bond and worsen it.
#Agent Hugo is ridicules short, even for a PlayStation 2 game as it can be beaten in less then an hour.
#Terrible voice acting, in particular from Miss Honeybunny and the German accents from the villainous henchmen.
#Many gameplay elements that rips-off the Agent Clank segments from Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal(which ironically, came out nearly the same year before Agent Hugo).
#No autosave feature. Instead, you have to drive to a gas station to save your game.
#Bad lip-syncing animations.
#The main character is very annoying, with him saying unfunny lines such as "The name's Agent Hugo, and this boat is Grease Lightning!" and his voice is completely monotone.
#Whilst playing the stealth mission, "blastballs" don't always hit the guards despite you controlling them right next to them.
#"Blastballs" have an incredibly short effect of knocking out the guards
#No boss fights.
#Every time you fail a mission, an unnecessary cutscene occurs where Agent Hugo appears to tell you to try again.
#Racist disguise in the first stealth mission, as Hugo's skin, turns a darker color whilst disguised as a 1970s era disco dancer.
==Praised Qualities==
#The graphics are perfectly decent and are fairly smooth.
#Unlike most other crappy games, the controls are good.
#The front cover of the game box looks pretty decent.
==Reception==
