THE GOOD:graphics,some cool spy equipment,ability to choose from two playable characters,good replay value
THE BAD:
camera is not very good,anooys sometimes,fighting is not perfect,very slow loading times,explicit rip-offs from other stealth games
SUMMARY:
I would call Spy Fiction a quick good fun.
gameplay can be called a combination of MGS's movement,fighting,shooting and kind of similar boss fights and old Playstation1 title Mission Impossible's disguise system.of course with some own stealth equipment and cool abilities.
the "stealth" itself is very similar to MGS's-same "levels" of safety bar.
old MI's disguise system is improved and more complicated:the player uses a 3d camera to get target's face,clothing.but you must also record target's voice in several situations.
shooting and fighting is absolutely the same as in MGS:aim with square button,release to fire;speaking of fighting it is the same combo as in MGS,but indeed messed up:you can easily miss the target and the enemy will trigger alert.
in this game the player has a cool SF's own ability:the invisibility shield-pressing your back against the wall makes the character invisible,if you moove-you're visible again.
spider grips are very cool,they allow player to moove on the ceiling.
weapons include a stun shaver-very cool way to knock down enemies.
the game features several puzzles and boss fights.the boss fights are very similar to MGS's.
graphically this game is very impressive,characters' moves are very realistic.one of the coolest aspects that I personally enjoyed in this game is that characters' faces are drawn in kind of anime style.
the story is a partial rip-off from MGS,which feels really offensive at times.but cool and fun anyway.at least it is not so stupid as Splinter Cell's.characters are cool and the game is absolutely not tedious or repetitive.quick and fun-that is the best way to describe it.
the game has decent replay value,you can unlock new costumes for characters,and other goodies.by the way the difficulty is rather easy,so replay is not annoying,besides several missions are kind of non-linear:you can choose two routes,and characters have some small differences in mission objectives.
overall this is a good game.in no way it can compare to MGS or Manhunt,but it has some own cool aspects that make it indeed worth playing.
I would recommend it if you wish to play a quick entertaining stealth-action game.
