Went onto inspire much more popular games and went mostly forgotten but between its soundtrack character designs and great set pieces.
If you like deadly premonition this is made by the same studio and deserves your vote.
You would think that there would've been, between the success of stuff like Mission: Impossible and James Bond, an absolute glut of espionage-driven spy games, but that hasn't quite been the case! Spy Fiction was janky, as others are saying, but I haven't yet found a game that has tried quite as hard to replicate the spy experience. You sneak around, you carry out missions, use fun gadgets to accomplish said missions - and the big feature: you can disguise yourself as nearly any character in the game. This was such a fun thing to play around with, and makes for some really cool situations. It also adds a bit of replayability, since, of the two playable characters, only one can disguise herself as male and female NPCs, while the other can only disguise himself as male characters. This means some parts of some missions will have to be approached differently, depending on who you're playing. If you've ever played Deadly Premonition, you'll know what you're up against since this is the same director and developer. And this certainly feels like a blend of MGS + Deadly Premonition + and that old Mission: Impossible game for the N64! Wish this had gotten a remaster or a rerelease in the same way Deadly Premonition did, but I would be thrilled if a straight PC port emerged, courtesy of GOG!
Can't believe that even obscure titles such as this made the list . It's combat is incredibly janky and the story is a bit all over the place but it cannot be understated how truly unique this game is at times . So many fun gimmicks and interesting set pieces that sadly no other games to my knowledge tried to replicate
I fondly remember borrowing this game from my neighbor, and then me and my brother proceeded to play through it about four times. An underappreciated gem for the PS2 and one of my favorite stealth games of all time.
