Syphon Filter
After terrorists steal a top-secret virus, the nation’s top covert agent Gabe Logan is sent to stop them and recover the virus. Guide Logan as he travels owing to parks, subway tunnels, a museum, and a military compound on his world-reduction mission. By the side of the way, Gabe will face many perilous enemies, but he can take them out with a quick shot to the head. It’s up to you to save the world from destruction in SYPHON FILTER.Editorial Review
The measure of a excellent game, like a excellent movie or book, is the emotional and, sometimes, physical response it elicits. Syphon Filter will literally make your pulse race. As counterterrorist special agent Gabe Logan, you must eliminate an evil terrorist determined to let loose a deadly virus in our nation’s capital. Syphon Filter features the smoothest, slickest motion capture of any PlayStation game. Gabe seems to come alive as he seamlessly connects acrobatics such as running, crouching, rolling, and hanging from pipes. As in a excellent action film, there’s an impressive arsenal of firepower that ranges from stealthy night-vision sniper rifles to high-impact, small-range shotguns.
But this game’s landmark contribution is its targeting control, which enables Gabe to lock and hold on to a target while freely moving in any management, eliminating the hassle of adjusting the viewpoint to face his enemies. There are plenty of surprises, but all the goals are evident, and your partner, Lian Xing, keeps things rolling by the side of with radio messages of changing mission objectives. Everything in this game plays smoothly: the tale line fits, the action moves at a steady clip, it just works. –Jeff Young

WAY too many clear reviews for such a crappy game. That’s what I reflect. Syphon Filter is atrocious. I received this game as a Christmas present (gee, what a crappy gift) back in the late 90’s. I thought to myself “well, all the N64 players have Goldeneye, I can compete with them when I receive Syphon Filter for my Playstation!” How incorrect I was.
It’s not that the actual game is terrible. I mean, walking around shooting people is fun, and it’s also fun to avoid being seen and make it to the end of the level without having to fire your weapon once (and having to remain VERY silent while doing so). The conundrum is that the difficulty is incredibly high and the storyline is about as fascinating as watching the paint your baby brother smeared all over your box set dry.
Without a certain special code it’s REALLY hard to get *anywhere*. The storyline is similar to one you’d see in the TV show Jag. It’s just not fascinating to me. Walking around shooting people is fun, but that’s all the game has going for it. Now presume if that special code didn’t exist where you can kill people in just one or two shots. The difficulty would be out of this world.
I also despise the game for the terrible memories connected to it. The Christmas I got the game, I had a few terrible personal things happen. But looking back, Syphon Filter really isn’t any excellent. It’s not surprising to me that the game is going for only a couple pennies right now used, and only a couple dollars to buy groundbreaking new. It’s not even worth THAT much!

I tried to like this game, I really did, but the controls are horrible and some of the worst I’ve experienced when trying to shoot something. When playing I also wondered why it took developers so long to utilize the second analog stick and why it took so long for them to learn how to develop for the Playstation platform. While the tale is well-done, it was hard to appreciate under the terrible gameplay. So I’ll know if Syphon Filter fans despise me because of this review, but seriously the gameplay is terrible.

Syphon Filter is what I call a game that was not worthy of getting five stars like what it is really getting. The game play drove me insane, it gave me a headache because it got to dull. I will say the creators of this game did a splendid job with the targeting system but everything else is not handled very well. The tale of this game, wait there is no tale it just talk about a killer virus. If you are looking to buy this game take some more time to research it and rent it. You may like the game but I will tell you one thing this game to me was a bust.
