Our story begins when Alex Rider is approached by MI6 to come and work for them. Alex, though, is not interested in being a spy. Then he is told that he will have a chance to get back at the people who killed his uncle. Once he agrees it's time to get some training in. He gets to learn how to punch, kick and throw any enemy agent he encounters. And also how to sneak past those enemy agents that may not be paying as close attention to their surroundings as they should.

Once training is complete you are told what the mission is. Mr Sayle wants to put a Stormbreaker computer into the hands of every kid in the country but MI6 doesn’t trust him. MI6 sent an agent to the manufacturing plant in Cornwall, who happened to be Alex’s uncle. Now they want Alex to infiltrate Sayle’s mansion and see what he can find there. Alex will take on the persona of Kevin Blake, a computer nerd who won a contest where the first prize was a chance to tour the Sayle Enterprise and try out the Stormbreaker.

Your outfitted with a Sodium Pentathol Pen, a Bug Finder and your wits. Into Sayle’s Mansion we go!

Now then, if he was invited to Sayle’s Mansion, why is it that everyone that he meets try’s to beat the crap out of him??????

Ok, so now you know the story, how about the game…

Stormbreaker is fairly simple game play wise, you move the character around from an overhead view and you move through the levels seeking keys or other specified items. There is something of a puzzle aspect since you have to seek the key for the door that you need to pass through. So there is a lot of searching that is done in the game.

You have various equipment that is at your disposal like the Bug Finder and the Sodium Pentothol darts. Each item will have its use and as you move through the game you will need to select the right item at the right time. As if that isn’t an obvious statement…

The story line and the plot of the game will unfold as the game progresses. That more than anything else will keep you playing so that you can see what happens next.

The graphics in the game are good, though not very detailed. Its not to hard to see what is going on in the game. I played it on a Nintendo DS so I don’t know what it looks like on a regular Gameboy.

This is definitely a game for kids and there is nothing in it that would be inappropriate for kids. This was not my kind of game, but one that you may want to try.
