WAY too many positive reviews for such a crappy game. That's what I think. 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 wrong I was.

It's not that the actual game is bad. 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 quiet while doing so). The problem is that the difficulty is incredibly high and the storyline is about as interesting as watching the paint your baby brother smeared all over your television 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 interesting to me. Walking around shooting people is fun, but that's all the game has going for it. Now imagine 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 hate the game for the bad memories connected to it. The Christmas I got the game, I had a few bad personal things happen. But looking back, Syphon Filter really isn't any good. 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 brand new. It's not even worth THAT much!

SORRY, BUT IT PLAYS TERRIBLE 4.75 OUT OF 10

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 story is well-done, it was hard to appreciate under the terrible gameplay. So I'll understand if Syphon Filter fans hate me because of this review, but seriously the gameplay is terrible.

Syphon Filter is one of the best games I've ever played. Gabe Logan is one of the best game characters ever created. The story is involved pretty well. The weapons are superb, and the levels are absolutely incredable. Syphon Filter doesn't outlive Metal Gear Soild but it is defintely one of the top ten action games I've ever played. The graphics leaves something to be desired. Also the difficulty of the game is harder than it should be. Despite its difficulty Syphon Filter leaves open sequels. Syphon Filter is the best

Bad (good) game

This game is like James Bond with an understandable story line, better action, and no weird badguys with mechanical jaws

This is a must buy game

This game is the best shooter for Playstation. I have a Playstation2 but i still have not seen a shooter for it that is as good as Syphonfilter for Playstation (or any other game sytem for that matter). This game is about 90% shoot em up, and 10% thinking. Go buy this game now. And you should get a mod chip, I have one and it lets you play copied games for Playstation.

A really good game with lots of levels an weapons. The only downsides are that everybody runs like they have a hammer up their... and some of the levels may be too hard.

Good game, but it needs a make over.

The game is excellent. The plot is good. I mean, what can be better than a deadly poison killing people? But the graphics could have been infinitly better. The faces are flat, and have hardly any detail, and that is in the movie scenes! The graphics are esspecially bad in gameplay. The guns, well let me just say it leaves more to be desired. Blood is extremly fake looking, but there is tons of it! But the actual play itself is very fun.

Now for the sound. Music is okay. Gun fire sounds are awesome. But the one thing that could have been changed are the voice overs. As soon as one is finished speaking, the other one cuts in right away. Not a very big deal, but it wears on after awhile.

Graphics 3/10

Sound 7/10

Gameplay 10/10

Blood Content 9/10

Overall 7/10
