I'm looking into possibly buying FM/WWSM 2007. Yes, I know they are the same game, except with different names for different markets. Since I live in US and A, naturally I'd be expected to buy WWSM. However, I feel that something would be lost in the translation, so I've been leaning towards importing FM from the UK, so I can get the "original, uncut experience". I do have the necessary funds to do such a thing, even after taking into account the rape-worthy exchange rate. So the question I'm posing to you is should I get the original FM, or its American cousin?

It's the same game. Exactly the same game.

Only the name and some accompanying graphics differ, and third party software for FM will not work for it (FMM, FM Scout, that sort).

If you don't want to use those, get wwsm.
