Spy Dog is plain, good formulaic fun. And thank goodness it is because the formula works and children love them. In this new title Lara the Spy Dog tackles the evil Mr Big in his pursuit of the Millennium Diamond, becoming herself the victim of mistaken identity along the way. This makes for some of the best scenes, with Lara in custody, an identity parade and a daring escape bid. It takes a lot to maintain the spark in a series. This third Spy Dog title retains it by providing an exciting story spiced up with some moments of humour.
