Players can also gain experience points to upgrade their character's abilities.[3]
For each level, players can choose two out of the three Spyborgs, which include:
Played using the Wii Remote, motion controls initiate special attacks while the two characters can team up their attacks for additional damage.[3] Alternatively, players can also choose to play with the buttons on the Wii Remote instead.

Development
Initially announced in June 2008 at Capcom's Captivate event,[5]Spyborgs underwent a major redesign after a lukewarm reception from the gaming press.[6] Changes include a shift from bright cartoony graphics reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoon shows,[7] to a grittier and more realistic visual look, as well as the removal of minigames which served as parodies of children's toy commercials.[8] The current game also shifted focus from an action-oriented game with superpower-based puzzle elements to a brawler.[9]
The game was developed in an internal engine designed by Bionic Games, not MT Framework.[10]
Bionic Games shut down after Spyborgs was released, making it their only title.[11]
Spyborgs received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[12]IGN praised the game for its high quality graphics and large amount of polish. Despite this, IGN criticised the title for its punishing difficulty and lack of innovation.[19]Eurogamer criticised the game for being generic.[14]
