In one of the American cities, a madman placed a container with a mysterious substance that turns people into zombies. The specificity is so dangerous that each of the infected residents of the United States can easily infect other residents through touch, which significantly increases the threat. A secret agent sets out with the mission of intercepting the container. Equipped with magical crystals, neutralizing the action of substances, he has to free his companions from the inevitable spectre of destruction. However, the task is not that simple. In order to be successful, it is necessary to first locate the source of the threat and reach it before it is moved to another location.

Agent USA is an arcade game, in which you can also see elements known from adventure and strategic production. We start the game in a randomly chosen city, so that the action plan in each game will be different from each other. From one metropolis to another, we travel by train, which departs according to a fixed timetable. Therefore, before using public transport, the agent must first find a suitable booth at the station and buy a ticket for a specific train. Fortunately, the journey does not require any payment - so we can travel all over the country as much as your soul desires.

At the beginning of the struggle the agent is equipped with ten crystals. To be able to neutralize the container, you need to have one hundred of them. Gems reproduce automatically if we lay them on the ground and wait a few moments. However, we must be careful when performing this operation. Inhabitants of the cities at the sight of spinners immediately move in their direction and take with them everything they can pick up. Crystals have one more important function - to bring infected people back to life. It is enough for a zombie to take one of the jewels with him and he becomes a normal person again.

Despite the simple rules and uncomplicated operation, Agent USA is a difficult game and requires a lot of patience. At the information points you should keep track of the location of the bomb and buy tickets to travel by a train that will bring you as close as possible to the container. A skilful player can even try to predict the route of the tank, which will save a lot of time needed for effective search.

A big advantage of the game is its educational character. The U.S. agent teaches the location of American cities on the map, so that the player learns about them. Undoubtedly, the weakest element of the programme is its audiovisual setting. Compared to conversions to other platforms, the PC edition is extremely poor in this respect.
