Summary Agent 17 wants nothing but action in the elevators he rides. My Thoughts
This new Action puts you in the role of Agent 17, named Otto, once again. Otto isn't stuck in the past as his hair is now dyed blonde to appear hip with all the kids. However, Otto just can’t get out of the elevator clogged buildings of the spy trade. His newest assignment sees him through four buildings on a mission to retrieve sacred documents and files. The new game features an updated look with better visuals and much bigger stages. Like any good secret agent, 17 has an array of tricks. Unfortunately, he is very forgetful in his old age and most of his gear is back at headquarters. Oddly enough, the buildings he is to infiltrate have rooms that have the same kind of gear that he forgot. Talk about a lucky break. Now he can use armor, speed shoes, grenades, Uzis, and disguises to help him take down or sneak past the buildings crawling with evil guards. He must accomplish his mission within a strict time limit or the neuron gas chip in his brain will release sending Agent 17 to his grave. Agent 17 begins his mission in Security Building 1, which has similar structure to the original game, but with many more floors. Apartment Block 20 and Sub complex L are his next two stops with Tower Tango being the final part of his important document retrieval mission. Tower Tango throws poor Otto for a loop though, because he needs to go up. How can a man that has done nothing but descend buildings possibly ascend one? Once the four stages have been beaten the game starts over, but with more enemy agents walking the floors. Nowhere did I see an option to play the original, which is a shame. There is a "get levels" section where you can download new levels, however I never received any whenever I tried to get them and I had kept the game for approximately two months just for this purpose. It’s too bad, because more levels would do some nice to service to the good, but short and relatively easy mobile update of Elevator Action.

Elevator Action
(Mobile)
Take a
look at who made this game: Sony Pictures Mobile. That leads me to ask two
questions: First, if Sony Pictures Mobile made the game, does that mean there is
an Elevator Action movie in the works? Or if not, does Sony Pictures
Mobile just have nothing to do so they need to acquire licenses of old games and
bring them to phones? Whatever
the case, we now have an updated Elevator Action on mobile phones, something the few
hardcore El Actians (the preferred name of the Elevator Action elite)
have been clamoring for since 1983.
Score:
