Missions X.

Added DiffLines:

In 2008, a Flash game, ''Missions X,'' served as a playable linear obstacle course version of the first 5 sets, and featured intermittent minigames in each level that switched between shooting out a target (the case for the energy crystal, the target to release the gold bars, Spy Clops' helicopter) when you got close enough to the fleeing villain (or in Turbocar Chase, ''far'' enough ''from'' the ''pursuing'' villain) and recalibrating your GPS to navigate to Break Jaw's position (the swamp base, and the buoy.)

LEGO Agents is often considered a SpiritualSuccessor to Franchise/LEGOAlphaTeam. Compared to its predecessor, LEGO Agents places less emphasis on individual characters and, rather spending a full year devoted to each mission in a single environment, depicts multiple global missions in a single year. LEGO Agents also goes for a more undercover approach to the secret agent theme, while LEGO Alpha Team focused more on the team's search for Ogel's bases.

LEGO Agents is a Toys/{{LEGO Theme|s}} beginning in 2008 and continuing into 2009, revolving around a team of secret [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin agents]] who foil the dastardly plans of [[BigBad Dr. Inferno]], a MadScientist who wants to TakeOverTheWorld.

In the first wave of sets, the Agents went on eight missions across the globe, tracking down the activities of Dr. Inferno's henchmen and foiling their plots, all the while trying to figure out Dr. Inferno's master plan. Their mission eventually leads them to Dr. Inferno's secret [[VolcanoLair Volcano Base]], where they must shut down the giant laser cannon before time runs out.

The second wave of sets is retooled as Agents 2.0 and is centered in Toys/LEGOCity as part of a multi-theme {{crossover}}. After his first defeat, Dr. Inferno claims to go clean and uses his fortune to fund a racing championship, hoping to distract the populace while his henchmen continue carrying out crimes. Eventually, the Agents uncover Dr. Inferno's plot to unleash his [[HumongousMecha robot mech]] to terrorize the city.
