Midway Games today announced the development of Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run, the next installment in the top-selling Spy Hunter franchise that dates back to the original arcade game. Stepping out of the Interceptor for the first time and into action will be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the role of the ultimate secret agent, Alex Decker. Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run is scheduled to ship in summer 2006 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

"Midway is taking the classic Spy Hunter franchise in a powerful, new direction that will be led by the casting of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as the game's main character," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "For the first time in the Spy Hunter franchise we are allowing the player to step out from behind the wheel of the Interceptor and straight into the action."

Midway's Spy Hunter is also set to be the subject of a major motion picture from Universal Pictures.

That's nearly as intelligent as taking Fox McCloud out of his Arwing...

I'll just stick to GTA and Saint's Row, thanks

Odds on the ability to perform customary "Rock" moves like the Rock bottom and the People's elbow?

The game is about running from spies and driving a car, so why don't we make the big selling points be that there's no where to run and that you leave the car..
