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

Since 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!

Came new, sealed in package. Not much else to say

this game is great! i got it and couldnt stop playing. its like splinter cell but better. you can ghost people blood goes every where. you can play online and chat with friends its pretty cool

right price and brings back good memories on my psp and cant wait to get more games for my psp like this one.

This is my first FPS game on PSP and I must say that the implementation and the gameplay went beyond my expectations. Pro: +Reasonable controls, easy to get used to. +Varying degrees of difficulty. +Storyline. +Low cost! Con: +Way TOO short !!!

I was worried when they started bringing shooters out on the PSP. Ive grown accustomed to the dual analog sticks on the PS2 and Xbox. And was worried how I would be able to pull off the move and shoot. After about a 30 minute learning period with Syphon Filter, I was already smashing the time records in training mode. Which was definitly another benefit to the game. There are four training missions you can choose to play to get accustomed to the game. They range from basic movement to a sniper mission. The controls will take some getting used to since you use the analog stick for movement and the x, circle, square and triangle buttons to look in different directions. But once you get used to them youll be running and gunning with the best of them. On easy mode the game took me approximatly 12 hrs to beat. However, I take my time trying to acheive every side mission. The average gamer will get a good 8-10 hrs out of the game. You also have the option to replay any level that you have already beat to attempt to get more steath, environmental, dart, or headshot kills. When such goals are acheived you can unlock alternate levels and weapons that you can used in the mission mode. I have about 22 hrs total in the game and I still have not unlocked everything. So there is some replayability in the game. Unlike Daxter for the PSP, I played it through and even though it was a great game I had no desire to pick it back up. Conclusion Syphon Filter is a great action shooter game. It combines the usual elements you expect and even some steath and spy maneuvers. In fact several levels are signifigantly easier if you take your time to use steath to eliminate your enemies. You can always go in guns blazing but that does not always work out. Again there is about a 30 minute learning curve. But it is fairly easy to get accustomed to the controls and go about your merry way stabbing and shooting. The only real complaint I have about the game is several times I performed a steath kill, it would not register on the player stats page and could not reach the goal for a level. Which was pretty annoying at time since I was so close to unlocking another weapon. Other than that its a great game.

If you own a PSP but not this game, buy this game. Especially at the price its being offered now. I am not good at dual-stick shooters, and this is a variation on the theme using the right X,O,[],^ buttons to look/aim. It took me a while to get used to this, but the tutorial missions and campaign mode ramp up the difficulty very well, throwing a little at a time. I died often during the boss battles of the first couple missions, but playing them again after completing the entire campaign, I can easily go through without dying on hard mode. Ive gotten used to the shooting, the gadgets, and some techniques for clearing a room. This is my first Syphon Filter game, so Gabe Logan is a new character to me, and once I got used to the gruff Im Batman voice, I found the voice acting pretty good, lots of FMV to tell the story. Some of the movies are a little long, but not punishingly so like MGS:PW. The campaign is around 30 missions, each taking me 7-20 minutes to complete, a very good pace to keep the action and the story moving. Now that Im done, Im replaying the missions trying to improve my Career Rating. When you progress through your rating, you unlock new weapons, which are nice, but I may not use them, I just like the act of trying the same mission using different weapons/techniques. For example, try the mission killing the enemies with only a knife, or by only using headshots, or using the environment. Replaying the missions this way is a blast (literally, sometimes) and Ill probably log twice as much time doing this as I did during the story. The audio is great, when playing with headphones, you can hear baddies coming in through the squeaky door, then walking around the corner. The soundtrack is appropriate with excellent action cues. Its too bad you hear the UMD spooling up before the song plays though, it spoils a bit of the suspense. All in all, I knew this game was highly-rated before I bought it, but wasnt sure if I could overcome the controls. I shouldnt be surprised that I liked it so much, but I am. Buy it now!

This game is really a treat. I was a huge fan of the old Syphon Filter games on the PS and this one continues the legacy.

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.

I bought this game when it was $50 and have no regrets. This series is the best on psx and psp is taking it to another level. Graphics are great and gameplay is awesome. There is tons of options to unlock and you can sync it with ps2 syphon filter. In conclusion i would like to say is that SYPHON FILTER IS THE GREATEST PSP GAME OF ALL TIME. Also Im playing syphon filter 3 on ps1 and that is one of the best games for that system. If your thinking about buying this game do not hesitate. Also multiplayer is feature is awesome. See you on line.
