Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror - Sony PSP (Jewel case)

> 24 hourSyphon Filter is definitely one of the best shooters for the PSP. It has console-quality graphics and gameplay. The CQC controls make the game more interesting. Instead of the safe MK23sd headshots, I try to sneak up on terrorists and knife them. The locations for the missions are very creative and not the usual Eastern European city, SE Asian/S.American jungles. They also feature interactive environments with oil barrels, artillery shells and other explosive/deadly items. Gameplay can be stealthy sometimes, action the rest of the times. Some levels can be done either way. Unlockable content makes you return to the missions to play them another way (stealth, sniping, environmental kills) to unlock new guns, abilities, and even missions. Unlocked content is available for use in online play. Online play in infrastructure is good, but you MUST play single player to understand the levels. If you expect a SOCOM style level with somewhat distinct bases, this isnt it: Spawns are randomly placed on the map. Good to prevent spawncampers, but less teamplay unless you play the single player-based objective games. Problems: Very dark-if you play in a car or on a bus you WILL suffer eyestrain headaches. Not as stealthy as some spy games.

> 24 hourWow, I thought GTA was good, I thought battle front was good, I even thought Socom was good,but this game kills them all. If you like a good shooter, mixed with quick thinking and smart tactics with loads of actiong, this is the game for you. Now some of you know that some games that were on home video counsels are crying for another analog stick, not this one. They made it simple, and perfect, I myself, have only done 2 missions and all the tranings (to beat the record of course), and I know the controls off the top of my head. If youre noy sure what game to get, like stuck on splinter cell, and this, you should definitely buy this. Because splinter cell NEEDS a second analog stick, you could tell the creaters had a huge struggle trying to put splinter cell on a portable coucel. And you may be wondering if the graphics are any good? There amazing, literally ps2 graghics and the best graphics on the psp system. I know this because you must update your psp to 2.6 before you play, and this is the highest the psp has seen. The closest was king kong (which was too short of a game so dont buy it) with a 2.5 update. And gta,bf,socom, are all 2.0 updates. Meaning if you thought the graghics on gta were good, imagine what 6 extra points will do. Overall, I find the game perfect and well thought out. The company definitely worked away at it to get it just right. And to give you an idea of how great the game is, in training, you dont actually kill people like in spiderman 2, they give you a paintball gum.A paintball gun! Thats going the extra step right there. Oh, and if your afraid of the game not having any cool stealth kills, there are some, and yes, of course, theres the knife kill. SO I hope you liked my review, but now, get off your ass and make 40 bucks as fast as you can and buy this game, GO RIGHT NOW! Stop reading reviews to see if its good, it is. SO GO ! P.S. If you want some movies and/or screenshot of the game go to psp.ign.com

> 24 hourSince I brought Splinter Cell (PC) Ive decided I liked this steath/kill genre. I was searching for a new game for my PSP and decided, based on price and reviews, to try Syphon Filter. What a good decision! Ive been having a blast with this game. Its been so much fun I immediately ordered SF: Logans Shadow. This game has everything: shooting, stealth (not like Splinter Cell), good weapon choice, replay value, good story and interesting characters. Theres no way you can bet this game for $10 and have this much fun. Thumbs up for Syphon Filter:Dark Mirror!

> 24 hourDark Mirror is flat out amazing. If you have a PSP and you dont have this you are missing out. Syphon Filter was my favorite game for the original Playstation and there are many who feel as strong about that game. Syphon Filter 2 and 3 came out later for that system and they were also both great games. Next came Syphon Filter The Omega Strain (for the Playstation 2) which had been originally designed as a multiplayer online game only. Towards the end of the development of the game it was decided to include the normal single player experience which was good but not as fun as the first 3 Syphon Filter games. I never really got into the online multiplayer features but I did try it a few times and that was where Omega Strain was at its best. The online servers for that game are no longer running. So now lets flash forward to more recent times. Dark Mirror continued the Syphon Filter franchise (on the Playstation Portable) and made it even better. The single player missions are excellent and the multiplayer features are also top notch. I havent played the next installment (Syphon Filter Logans Shadow - also for the PSP) but I own it. What I look forward to most is seeing Syphon Filter in high definition (on the PS3). My only complaint about this game was that there is some strong language which was not necessary for the experience. This is my opinion and it is an issue in many games today. Overall, I would pick this as my favorite PSP game and one of my favorites of all time.

> 24 hourI never got my game because the seller made a postal error so the post office sent it back, and Amazon had to give me a full refund because for some reason the post office had to send it back and I would like to know why......
