You’ll be stepping into the shoes of Agent G during his rookie year, what an initiation he receives! The game’s going to take you to a mental hospital, swamp and what may be the scariest Carnival ever. Luckily for all of us, the game is right around the corner and should hit next week. Enjoy the latest developer diary below, it focuses on the graphics of the game and the way they pushed the Wii.
