Plot Summary: Based on the French TV show and graphic novel series Totally Spies! the game follows cute spies Sam, Clover and Alex on their mission to defeat Mandy and The Boss. It follows a story by chapter, and allows the players to attempt to defeat Mandy on multiple game boards that lead to arcade games.

Critical Evaluation: I must admit I was very disappointed with this game. It made no sense. However, if I hadn't been playing alone and knew the background story it might have been more fun. The activities are those of high school aged girls, but definitely geared toward tween age girls. I find this to be very confusing.
