	Spy Fiction review for the PS2
		A fiction is a story, so the title can be read as "Spy Story." But a fiction is also a made-up event, so you could read it as "Spy Lies." Either way, I was anticipating a subtle, classy stealth game.
		In Spy Fiction, where you're asked if you want to quit every time you save and a woman using an electric shaver is seen as commonplace by most of the NPCs, you quickly learn to stop looking for reasonable answers.
		Throughout Spy Fiction, you'll be engaged in one of three activities: sneaking around in disguises, navigating past lasers, or beating up brainless enemies.

	Spy Fiction - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		As opposed to the norm, Spy Fiction is more of a "spy" game, in that you don't really spend all of your time hiding in the shadows or running past blips on a radar.
		You see, Spy Fiction's biggest draw is the ability to take photographs of any character in the game, then masquerade as them.
		God forbid you die - Spy Fiction also has to the unfortunate tendency to resurrect you in a spot where it's almost impossible to escape detection, enabling a cycle of death and reincarnation that's hard to break from.

		Spy Fiction's main thing (not quite a gimmick) is your ability to use one of your items, the 3DA camera, to take other characters' identities.
		You can change back into your spy gear at any time by holding L1 and spazzing out on the thumbstick, which you'll need to do to be able to jump and crawl through vents (for some reason you can't perform such complex maneuvers while in disguise).
		After his last game before Spy Fiction, Swery "increased his fighting spirit for the next project." This increase wasn't enough to generate a pure winner in Spy Fiction, but if the spirit keeps increasing, maybe the quality of the games will, too.

	Spy Fiction (PS2) Preview at GameSpy.com
		Spy Fiction's story should be familiar to anyone who's watched an espionage movie or played a military stealth game in the past few years -- the developer wears its predilection for the genre on its sleeve with Spy Fiction, even noting it with the game's very title.
		Spy Fiction's graphics have a clean, clear look that recalls the environments of Metal Gear Solid 2, albeit slightly less stylized.
		In short, while Spy Fiction seems to be a synthesis of so many unoriginal elements, it seems that the final product will be more than the sum of its parts.

	GameSpy: Spy Fiction Preview
		Spy Fiction seems a little more accessible than other games from the genre, concentrating on cool gadgets and action rather than ultra-strategic gameplay.
		This is not to say that Spy Fiction doesn't deserve your attention, but it's safe to assume that the exploits of Solid Snake and Sam Fisher will wind up being more fantastical in the long run.

		Spy Fiction, another entry in the genre, does nothing more than re-create something we have already seen.

	Spy Fiction (ps2: 2004): Reviews
		Spy Fiction is meant to be fun rather than realistic, but there's a line between playful and head-scratchingly ridiculous.
		As it is currently, Spy Fiction is just going to be slumming with "Cy Girls," "Lifeline" and the rest of the gimmicky MGS look-alike also-rans.
		Though it doesn't hit the graphical highs of the upcoming "Metal Gear Solid 3," the visual style is one of the few ways that Spy Fiction distinguishes itself from its parent series in a positive way.

		The one thing that these spies have in common is that they don’t advertise the fact that they are, indeed, a spy.
		Yet, for the most part, the heroes of Sammy Studios' Spy Fiction might as well wear a blinking neon sign that says, “I’m a spy, get your spying right here!” It’s a little ridiculous but, other than the non-stealthy aspect of Spy Fiction, the game itself is pretty fun.
		When all is said and done, Spy Fiction is a fun game, but don’t expect anything all that innovative or new.

		Spy Fiction is a seamless combination of stealth, action, puzzles & mini-games like parachuting and rappelling.
		In general, Spy Fiction is probably worth a rental, but only if your purely crazy about MGS game wannabes, and your PS2 has broken, so it allows you to play any game on the system, except for the MGS games.
		Spy Fiction is just too similar, and too much of an obvious look alike.

	Spy Fiction Electronic Gaming Monthly - Find Articles
		CRISPIN: Spy Fiction isn’t so much a clone of the Metal Gear Solid games as it is an evil twin who cackles like a maniac and slowly goes bonkers, just like the game’s overwrought, badly voice-acted plot.
		And that’s too bad, because Fiction packs more gadgets than an entire season of Alias while forcing players to slip past armies of guards, laser trip wires, pressure sensors, and even body-heat detectors.
		The do-it-yourself camera, the horrible targeting controls, the wonky A.I. (guards attack but then won’t pursue you down a ladder, the same guy frisks you five times in a row, etc.)—this game is more awkward than a newborn horse on roller skates.

	Feature: Spy Fiction for PS2 on Gamepro.com.
		Stealth action spy games are a hot property right now, so it was no surprise when Sammy Studios announced that it would be publishing one of its own.
		Spy games in general usually only have a fighting and hiding element -- our game has an element of tricking, which sets it apart from other games.
		When we started the Spy Fiction project, we initially developed a plan and system for online play -- we even programmed a part of it -- but the PlayStation 2 online market was still underdeveloped, so we had a meeting, and after much thinking, we decided on a single player game.
