These inaccuracies are evident through the fact that nearly all of dialogue not spoken by your current protagonist is voiced over. However, the references to the fact that you’re playing a video game are irritating, as usual.įinally, Himeya Soft made little attempt to accurately translate a small amount of the game’s more unimportant text. The pop culture jokes, while not especially funny, are acceptable because EVE Burst Error takes place in a real-life setting (1990’s Japan). In addition, there’s a plethora of pop culture jokes and references to the fact that you’re playing a video game. Typos and grammatical errors are fairly common, but fortunately, they do little to disrupt the flow of the dialogue. The translation does have a few minor problems, though. The dialogue generally flows very well, like natural conversation, and it’s filled to the brim with thinly veiled innuendo, giving it a decidedly humorous touch. Although the dialogue doesn’t rank with that of Working Designs’ Lunar: Silver Star Story or Activision’s Guardian’s Crusade, it is significantly better than the text in most recent US RPGs. In addition, Himeya Soft has done an admirable job of translating the game. Character development is strong all of the major characters in the game have detailed origins that are slowly revealed as the storyline progresses. EVE Burst Error excels at selectively divulging information, keeping players interested while maintaining its shroud of mystery. The complex tale is full of surprises and plot twists, and thanks in part to exceptional pacing, it remains riveting throughout its lengthy course. Marina and Kojiroh’s scenarios intertwine very closely throughout the game, and they even end up assisting each other in their search for the truth.ĮVE Burst Error’s plot is one of the finest ever written for a video game, and it alone is more than worth the price of admission. As a result, Marina is relegated to the seemingly dull task of serving as a bodyguard for the daughter of the ambassador of Eldia, a small Middle Eastern nation rapidly rising in prominence.Īlthough Marina’s task appears to hold little excitement, she, like Kojiroh, is pulled into something bigger than she ever expected. However, Marina has also wreaked no small amount of havoc in completing her assignment, and the heat’s on her from most of the higher-ups in her organization. She’s feared by international officials because wherever she goes, she also tends to leave a trail of destruction.Īs Marina’s scenario begins, Agent Hojo has just returned from successfully completing one of her biggest missions yet. Marina is feared by terrorists because of her career 99% mission success rate. Marina Hojo, the other main character in EVE Burst Error, is an international agent respected and feared by terrorists as well as international officials. From here, he’s unwittingly pulled into a tangled web of murder and mystery. Although the high price trips off alarm bells in his head (the painting itself does not hold any significant monetary value), Kojiroh really needs the money, so he accepts the job. Then, one day, a mysterious client offers Kojiroh an exorbitant sum of money to find a lost painting. Kojiroh’s income results mainly from low-paying petty jobs, and he doesn’t get a whole lot of them. Business is bad, though, as his shoddy living conditions indicate. Nowadays, Kojiroh lives in the warehouse district near the docks, where he has set up his own detective office. Then, one day, he mysteriously threw it all away, leaking information that led to his chief’s arrest and resigning from the agency immediately afterwards. Working for the high-profile Katsuragi Private Detective Offices, Kojiroh had established himself as the best in the business. Kojiroh Amagi is a private detective who has certainly seen better days. Like several recent RPGs, EVE Burst Error offers players the choice of one of two protagonists as the game begins. Its popularity is well deserved despite coming up a bit short in the gameplay department (as all graphic adventures played by this reviewer have), EVE Burst Error contains a brilliant storyline rivaled by few others. Back in Japan, C’s Ware is best known for making adult graphic adventure games, and EVE Burst Error, despite not technically being an adult game, is the popular company’s biggest hit to date. EVE Burst Error is one of C’s Ware’s first games to make the journey across the Pacific into our hot little hands.
