A must for action game players. This game kept me on the edge of my couch for weeks on end. The graphics and assortment of weapons is un-matched. I've played the game twice and I am looking forward to playing it again!
great graphics, cool story line and good game play

This game reminds me of the James Bond movies, you are a special agent try desperatly to stop a virus sweeping the nation, not sure of the source, but presumed to be terrorists using it to get what they want. You have a comlink that your partner uses often to tell you where to go and what to do next, not really a hard game, just takes some time to go through, well worth the money spent if you're into this type of fast paced action. Personally I like the sniper rifle.
The best action game I have ever seen for Play Station.

This is a must have for any Play Station owner. The graphics are amazing, the game is almost endless, and the situations are original and incredibly challenging. This is definitely an adult game - and that's the thing I like most about it.
Perhaps the next big thing since Metal Gear Solid

Great game, affects, and story line. The only gripe I have is that some scenes are really difficult. Otherwise well worth the investment
Like a book you just can't put down, One of the best.

Very challanging, and addictive. Well thought out. On the down side, changing weapons could be quicker, and or easier, but the game more than makes up for this pain in the butt. An A to A+

If you like the single player role playing games, this is the ONLY ONE to play. I just finished it and I was completly addicted. I almost got a divorce! My friends and I were and still are "GOLDEN EYE" freaks in the 4 player mode, but this game has it all for the single player. Fun weapons, good story and Imaginative scenarios. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. Very well thought out. Changing of weapons a bit slow, but it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. I want the sequel as soon as possible! In the mean time I'll get Rainbow 6. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!
Great Action. Tough Bosses

Overall this game is the best I've bought so far. If you love the sniper-style game, buy this game. The game is well designed to keep play moving. For example, you can only move around in a well-defined area (in most levels) an essentially have to complete on part of a level before you can move on -- trade-off some realism to increase play-ability. The graphics are good, the action is terrific. One gripe: some of the "boss" scenes are absurdly too difficult. To this day, I don't know how I got past Guirdeaux. I can't seem to get past the final screen. Apparently a flak jacket can repel any amount of fire-power. There's some trick to it...not sure what. Even with that, the game is tons of fun...weeks and weeks of play.

There is no douht in my mind that this is the best game I have ever played for any system. The graphics for this game are phominal.You have to be constlantly alert and aware of your surrondings. I recomend this game to all of the shooters and the adventurers. This game is really COOL.
Classic Espionage/Action Game

Syphon Filter is a great game for those who like Espionage and Action movies. You play a Government Agent trying to stop a super virus from being exposed to the world. You will venture from the subways of D.C., a Cathedral in Kazakstan, a Muesem, and a Terrorist Base. The level design is well thought out, and the graphics are great. Control is just right, and the soundtrack has some techno-spy music on it. Some missions will require you to blast your way through a compound, others will require you to follow a person undetected. This balance helps to remind a James Bond fan why he/she likes Bond so much. I would even go so far as to say this game is more about Espionage than even Metal Gear Solid. I found myself sneaking around more in Syphon Filter than in that other classic game. Overall, just go out and buy Syphon Filter now, and be prepared to have a lot of free time in order to beat this challenging masterpeice.
