When I first bought this game last january, I played it a few times and found the controls to be tricky. The graphics arent worth psx, and it is pretty boring. There is almost no sound...

This game have great graphics, good game play, and a great concept. I wish there is a way to make it easier. It is too frustrating some times to constantly die so fast.

A really fun game

Syphon filter is a notch lower than Metal Gear solid. I mean,after a masterpiece like Metal Gear Solid, there is no way you can't compare any espionage games to it. The plot is shaky, and it's missing that smart dialouge. But it's a fun shoot-em-up game. So, by all means, get it.

A game not that good

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 boring. I will say the creators of this game did a great job with the targeting system but everything else is not handled very well. The story of this game, wait there is no story 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.

Okay ,but Boring

This game was fun the first few times I played it. After a while it started to get boring. It's just the SAME thing every level. Shoot the bad guys until you get to the end.You might disagree the first few times you play it, but believe me it will get boring after a while

hard to finish

I went in to Syphon Filter with high hopes and was somewhat dissapointed. While the levels are large and fairly well designed, the quite average graphics caused problems when you get close to surfaces. The games controls also suffer from problems, mostly in terms of the targeting function, which is useful for quick aiming in tight spaces, or when an enemy is moving fast, yet will often aim for enemies you can't hit, when you are being shot at by ones you can, or even aim behind you, throwing the camera into wild spinning and throwing your character out of control. Fortunately auto-aiming removes the necessity of using targeting in most circumstances. In some places, infinately respawning enemies will cause a great deal of frustration (just to be fair, I did set off an alarm, but still...). Some puzzles are good without being [dumb] and contrived, but some were just plain stupid, especially one early in the game where some explosives you just happen to need are hidden in a box in a dark corner of the level. Some triggered events (especially spawning) are odd, for example, on one level, if you haven't completed a certain objective, you will die without much explaination.[...]

While these flaws greatly detracted from my playing experience, The story is fairly good, certain levels are very fun, and the game hardly ever throws anything so hard that it's agrivating at you. One battle with a helicopter is a little bit overwhelming, although the hardest part comes at the end of the battle when you have to remember to take off your targeting to hit some enemies.

Overall, Syphon Filter is a great game executed poorly, but I have high hopes for the sequal. I hope I'm not let down again.

greatest game on playstation!
