Secret Agent HD Review Cons:

Have to use a mouse for the level editor.
A bad description of the save game implies you can save either in-game or whenever you want but that’s not the case.
Hard to tell what can kill you.
Little replay value.
It’s going to appeal to fans more than new players.
Difficult.
