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

To sum the whole thing up - if you had only one game you could buy for your PSP, let it be this. Even if you dont like first person shooters, get it. Syphon Filter is the best first person shooter - action game out there for PSP, hands down. You get a single player mode story mode which runs like a charm. The graphics are astounding, taking the PSP to another level. The controls feel right - finally, developers have thought to take full use of all the pads and buttons in a reasonable way. You play as a super-secret, ex-delta force type, undercover agent. Your mission is to find and destroy Project Dark Mirror. You get a wide range of weapons, but if you are good, you can use a special mode (using a range of goggles) to find secret passages and ways of finishing a level. This means that you can sneak your way without causing much trouble. One of the wonderful things about this game is stealth and the ability to `snap-on to walls and boxes. You can peek over the side and take out enemies without stirring a mouse. Alternatively you can jump out and take on dozens of enemies. This leads to the only two points of the game that are a letdown. The AI is predictable, and sometime stupid. Its not uncommon to see enemies fall victim to their own mines or walk into your path as you destroy them with your EDT gun. Or you can use hand to hand combat, a knife, special darts, or normal guns. Using these things earns points for earning rewards and unlocking bonus levels. The other thing is - why isnt the game play longer? Seven acts with around five scenes per act make for too short a game. There is a multiplayer mode as well, for people who like that. (Ad-Hoc + Infrastructure) GRAPHICS: 9/10 (Best graphics and cut-scenes of all time) SOUND: 7/10 (The sound is really great - not complaining, since you cant have it all) CONTROLS: 10/10 (Flawless - you can crouch, look over corners, activate a scope, zoom, and snipe, all at once, without getting frustrated) DIFFICULTY: 5/10 (Moderately difficult - some guys are mounted on turrets! Difficulty falls tremendously since you can sneak around, using stealth to eliminate much of the opposition) LOAD TIMES: LOW (The load times are not bad at all - plus, you get briefed during the loading screen) OVERALL: 9/10 (Isnt a 10 where you see god or something? Just kidding - the game could easily be a ten if it was 50% longer)

I had to get use to the game play, but other wise nice game and good story. Nice way to kill a little time on the clock.

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

Boring game but thats from lack of intrest in it its a stealth action game that gets boring quick

If you liked the original Syphon Filter on Playstation, you have to pick this title up. The gameplay is great, once you beat the game youll still want to come back for more picking up secrets you missed the first time. The story and plot twists are fantastic. You will find yourself glued to this game. Highly recommend adding this game to your PSP collection.

This game is the kind of game that you will remember playing 10 years from now. This game is belongs in the videogame hall of fame. It was extremely well done and the developers, designers, etc deserves a great deal of praise. I play this on the train to work and it makes a boring trip pass by. This is my favorite PSP game. SOCOM is a great game, but Syphon Filter makes that game seem boring by comparison.

this game is very good, its new, no problem. simple and excellent. favorite psp game, i recommend 100 %. i like it.

This game is the best action packed shooter/ fighting game EVER If you want to have fun shooting guys and blowin them up and cuting their throats and electricuting them go fr it relllllly fun

Before I played dark mirror and logans shadow, I thought peace walker and MGS PO were the best. After you beat this 2 games, you will change your mind. SF have everything excellent: Dialogue, plot, action, shooting, music, operation. Its equivalent to The last of us, uncharted on PS3. Buy them, you wont regret.

I am happy that i can play the game. One of my favorite series on the PlayStation. UMD case came separated? but it can still play, so i can make it work.
