Logan. . . Gabe Logan. BOOM!

My all-time favorite. You get the coolest arsenal of weapons, and one of the most realistic shooters (the fact that it doesn't take 4 head-shots to kill someone). This game is the merge between Goldeneye, and Metal Gear Solid. I love both games, but not as much as Syphon Filter. Syphon Filter includes the first ever target-lock. In shorter terms, point your gun at a target no matter what you're doing, rolling, climbing, strafing, or other awesome moves Logan can do. Then comes manual aiming and sniper modes. You can get some pretty cool head shots and have awesome sniper rifles. There are also some cool situations like CBDC hostages in Washington Park as you disarm Syphon Filter viral bombs. Some people believe that this is a MGS ripoff. Well, they were made at the same time and SF is a lot smarter when it comes to stealth. Lets brainstorm here, in MGS the guards can't see three feet from them, nobody has eyes in their head, and vibrating your head in an annoying matter is considered talking? Syphon Filter is one of the only games on Playstation where their lips move when an FMV is going. Unfortunately, their mouths are small and sometimes it is hard to see. The FMVs are one of the coolest around. Your weaponary goes from Gabes trusty 9mm and a .45 mag, to 3 pistol machine guns, 3 assault rifles, 2 shotguns, 2 sniper rifles, the tazer, and the M-79 grenade launcher. Need I say more? Do what the voices in you head tell you to do and buy this awesome game NOW! Or look out for Gabe's tazer if you try to buy some other game.

Syphon Filter is not like the rest.

This game rules. Hands down, the favorite on eI own for playstation. This is why. Although som epeople will blatently disagree I always thought video games were meant for vegging out, and losing yourself to a mind dumbing experience. Which basically means I've always hated video games where you need to think. Resident Evil would be a perfect example. Although I liked the zombies and the gore, I just thought it got annoying that you had to use your brain so much. Anyways what I'm trying to say is this game totally changed my view. The reason is this game makes it fun to have to think. It perfectly mixes a sense of cunning skills with total carnage and violence. This is definitely no game for youngeters but for the older more serious playstation crowd. In any event, this game rocks if you like spy adventures and have any type of puzzle solving skills. Only one simple drawback is that you can't save your game until you've finished each level which takes aprox. 45 minutes to do.

Syphon Filter-AWESOME

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 Game

That game is great! One of the best spy games I've ever played! could do a little better on the weapons, but Gabe's moves rule! Diving, climbing, scaling, rolling, this game is a must buy!

I'll say it simply, Syphon Filter ROCKS! I have heaps of playstation games, and this is easily one of the greatest. After I got it, I played it non-stop until the end and I still love it.

Many people compare Syphon Filter to Metal Gear Solid, but they must have been playing a different version than I was. I have both games, and I think they are completely different. Sure, in both games your a covert special operations guy, but that's where the similarities end. Metal Gear Solid is based around sneaking, and to get the best rating in the game, you need to do it without killing many people. Syphon Filter is the opposite! While there is still some sneaking, the idea of it is to go crazy and kill everything!

One word of advice though, if you do get this game DON'T CHEAT! Seriously, this game is so much better when you don't cheat. You start to run out of ammo, and are forced to use your skills and get headshots, rather than just spraying your ammo everywhere. It is a much better experience!

Syphon Filter Franchise -- Best Games on the Playstation

The Syphon Filter games are by far the best games on the Playstation. Resident Evil and its offspring are slow and confusing to play, because of bad controls and camera angles. They are also boring and rigid. The Metal Gear games are hard, unrealistic, and the characters, dialogue, and story are cheesy. I hate the Metal Gear games with a passion. The graphics are cartoonish too. The Syphon Filter games excel where the aforementioned games fail.

The Syphon Filter games use real weapons, real settings (not fake places with stupid names like Raccoon City), and believable characters (without cheesy names like Solid Snake, those damn Japanese!) and let you kill as many guys as you want without having to solve gay little puzzles and jump through hoops. The Syphon Filter games are challenging without being impossible, and fun, because everyone enjoys killing terrorists and blowing apart buildings. The controls and aiming are perfect on Syphon, something I can't say for Resident Evil and Metal Gear. The story is actually believable, and the dialogue is realistic and not laughably stupid.

Syphon Filter, the original, is the hardest of the three games because you're not allowed to save as much, but Syphon 2 is the most fun. Syphon 3 has a terrible story but is stil fun, because you get to kill a lot of people. You stupid video game companies! Don't you get it? We don't want to walk around solving gay little puzzles! We want to shoot guns, use a lot of ammo, and destroy as much as we possibly can. The dual player mode on Syphon 2 and 3 is really fun. I love killing my brothers on it. The graphics on Syphon suck at times, but it doesn't detract from the gameplay. Best games on the Playstation. Trust me.

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+

Syphon Filter is one of the best action/stealth games to ever sneak onto the Playstation. The graphics are cool, execpt some explosions. The controls are nearly perfect, the story is one of the best and intersting. There are a few down sides to this game. The first is the length of the game. It is long, but it seems to end quickly after beating it a few times. The cool weapons are sometimes one level only( for example the HK 5 is only in one level when the night vision rifle is in almost every one), and the enimies get stupid at times. The voice acting is is great, but the translation is stupid at times.

Syphon Filter kills lazy day boredom

I just picked up this game for my brother while I was visiting on Thanksgiving vacation. Not only did it entertain him and his friends (and still does) I was actually into it, and I am not a Big video game person. If anyone is looking for a great 1 player game, you need look no further. I loved this game (and even skipped a gym visit or two to beat it)...
