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

First off, Id like to say I wasnt expecting this game to be at all what it is. I was expecting a half-assed game that was similar to the crap heap Syphon Filter; but I was wrong. Why? Because this game is amazing. I saw the reviews of 9 and above all over the net, so I decided to rent this. I am glad I did. It is just a fantastic game that blends in Goldeneye 007 gameplay in with Spinter Cell. Here is my review: Graphics: 9.5/10. Some of the best graphics ever on a PSP game. The ingame graphics are great, but the videos ( like the one at the beginning of the game ) is absolutely stunning. They look damn realistic, the only real problem is that the lips dont move realistically; other then that; these are some freakishly nice looking graphics even for the PSP. Sound: 9/10. Nice voice-overs. Nice gun sounds. Its all really good but nothing special. Hell, there is music in the background at times; and you hear chitchat among A.I. characters. Control: 9/10. Really quite similar to SOCOM Fireteam Bravo in ways... you can use L to lock on, and R to fire at the guy, or to look around you can use the triangle, circle, X, and O buttons. The controls can definitely be frustrating at times though because it can be a matter of life or death depending on how quick you can line the crosshairs up on a guy long range before he kills you. Fun: 9/10. Ive only played single player ( my wifi is broken at the moment ) and so far I am amazed at how spectacular this game is. It took me about 10-15 minutes to get used to the controls, the graphics look amazing, the sound fits well, and its just an awesome game to play. If you like playing games like Splinter Cell, SOCOM, or hell, just shooting games in general, you have to play this. Its confusing, hard, and aggrivating at times, but after you get through it you wont experience it for awhile. This game really is just a some-what difficult game, but for the most part, it isnt bad at all. Even if you dont like shooters; this is still worth a look. I havent even PLAYED the Multiplayer yet; that has to be some killer stuff. Have fun. 9.2/10

I own 12 PSP games currently, and Ive sold off about 6 more. This by far is the best game I have played that maximizes what the PSP can do. As much as I love Burnout Legends and Daxter, this one ranks a little higher. The Good - User friendly controls, great sound, absolute beautiful graphics. This plays like a expensive demo that was tailored to show what the system can do. The difference being it is a full game with extended playability and multi-player action. If you had to rank a game #1 based on everything you want in a shooter, it would be this game. It has stealth, action, cool gadgets that are easy to get to and creativity with the story line. The Bad? There really isnt any negatives, unless you dont like shooters too much. The frame rate is smooth, and even the training mode is well designed and plays like a mission. You would be hard pressed to find a game that takes as much care in putting the absolute best product out for gamers. Overall, 5 stars and worth the money. If your thing is multi-player you will definitely like this game. Huge replayability here. If you prefer solo, the game will last you a long time and be challenging. This one is somewhat of a hidden gem based on the few reviews, I highly recommend it for shooter enthusiasts.

I already own a lot of games with my PSP, but i shoulf say Syphon filter is my all time favourite. The story is awesome, really thrilling and keeps you hooked to the psp till you finish it and know who is the Bad-guy. Game play is the best, i mean The Best.... I loved the game play of Burnout legends the most till i played the Syphon filter.. Its a stunner.. very smooth, uses the potential of the PSP to the max, youll actually forget that you are playing on a portable console.. The day i got this game i played for 6 hrs straight with out even a bath room break.. Its got killer graphics.. The weapons are great and real fun to use especially the one which Electricultes the enemy.. The learning curve i would say is 30-45 mins depending on your gaming experiences with PSP.. i took 35 mins to flawlessly use the controls.. The game play is not very tough nor is it average.. Its definitely not a easy grass-walk !!!! I would say its in between medium and tough which is great because it can keep you on for a longer time and would be nice and challenging rather, unlike burnout legeds which was really easy and i could finish it in 2 days.. Verdict: Fun: 9/10 game play: 10/10 graphics: 9/10 story line: 9.5/10 how does it compare for me: Better than 100 percent of the games that ive played.. Recomended: Absolutely. A Must have PSP game !!

muy buen vendedor me llego todo a tiempo y en mu buen estado le doy el maximo puntaje al vendedor

OK....if you are reading this then you probably have or want a psp...if so then you want a game.....BUY THIS GAME!!!!! This game is the best avalible for the PSP. Yes there are other good ones but this does for the psp what Halo did for the XBOX and what metal gear solid did for the ps2. It is a shooter ( the only good one for the psp). You are like a special ops kind of guy that does what you are told....but who cares...this game kicks ass...so BUY IT!!!!

This game is pretty good. Its like a mixture of Metal Gear Solid and a James Bond game for the PSP. The controls were initially VERY hard to figure out. They are not like the other shooters on the PSP. However, once you figure it out, its a fun game with a decent story for a portable game. It was lots of fun.

Dark 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.

Wow, 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

Syphon Filter Dark Mirror is the best PSP game!! Its far better than the PS2 game Omega Strain. The controls are very easy and the weapons rock! The story is great! I would have to give this game 100.0

I got this because somebody on Gamespot said that it defined the PSP platform. Well, its a pretty good game anyway, and probably the best shooter for the PSP. The good : It is pretty long and has beautiful cutscenes and fantastic sound. The levels get better as you play. Some of the first levels were really small and cheezy. Towards the end, there are some pretty neat things. The game physics are really nice (you can shoot someone in the knee with a 357 and they will fall on their face, then get up and limp, explosions cause rag doll effects etc). The sniper rifle is a lot of fun once you get it down. Its pretty fun to pick off the bad guys using it. The not so good : The bosses in this game are LAME! Regular guys in bulletproof suits of some kind except for one tank. When you throw a grenade (which you need for the last few bosses), the whole PSP grinds to a halt so you cant switch easily to a gun in time to shoot the boss when his suit is powered down. (I guess it is calculating the grenades effects and cant hear the buttons). A lot of levels are dark so its hard to see in normal lighting. There usually are no more than 2 or three enemies on the screen at once. Probably not enough horsepower for more. Good bosses would have made up for that. Even Sonic on the Genesis had enough horsepower for a challenging boss every level.
