"Spy Fiction recieved a lackluster localization that severely damages the work’s intent and internal continuity. The Japanese version, however, not only makes perfect sense, it was clearly lovingly crafted by a team of creative individuals. The English localization is an insult to their love. Contrary to expectations, the Japanese version of Spy Fiction is voiced entirely in English, and everything important is voiced. Not only will you not miss out on any plot, the Japanese version is actually more natural and has more plot. The controls are very easy to pick up, and the manual is much nicer. The only thing you’ll miss out on is the Garbology Reports, but Let’s Play sensation supergreatfriend has collected 99% of them in his LP of English Spy Fiction."
something i admire about this and deadly premonition is how, uh, blatant its inspiration is? idk, there's something to be said abt putting an exact replication of Revolver Ocelot in an already liberal metal gear clone
