    When we heard that Success Corp. was creating a series of new detective adventure games, we expected noir-ish, gritty police procedural adventures, like Saburo Jinguuji or something. How wrong we were! Neither of the new games in the series fit that description. Not only that, the two games couldn't be more dissimilar from each other! If they weren't both part of the Deka series and weren't coming out on the same day, there'd be no reason to talk about them at the same time.

You stop terrorism by kicking and shooting dudes! Read: Otoshi Kenji: Keiji-San, Watashi ga YarimashitaRead: Yajuukeiji: Tokyo Doujitahatsu Terror Wo Chinatsuseyo
