Editorial Review

The measure of a good game, like a good 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 unleash 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 good action film, there's an impressive arsenal of firepower that ranges from stealthy night-vision sniper rifles to high-impact, short-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 direction, 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 along with radio messages of changing mission objectives. Everything in this game plays smoothly: the story line fits, the action moves at a steady clip, it just works. --Jeff Young

Pros:

  • Fluid, stylish animation
  • Useful weaponry and contextual puzzles
  • Excellent level design
Cons:
  • Occasional slowdown when many enemies are onscreen at the same time
  • No 2-player mode

5.0 out of 5 stars Syphon Filter-AWESOME, November 23, 1999
By A Customer
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Syphon Filter (Video Game)
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Action. Tough Bosses, November 25, 1999
By A Customer
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Syphon Filter (Video Game)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Espionage/Action Game, November 28, 1999
By A Customer
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Syphon Filter (Video 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.
