BEST GAME I HAVE! CANT WAIT FOR SF3 !!!!!! |
| Josh from Gordon, GA. USA says (8/Aug/2001): |
I firstplayed it in a demo and soon after purchased the first one from a friend. After beating the first one I had to have the second one. The graphics sound and music are much better than the first one. Me and A friend played the multi player for hours on end. I'm definitely getting SF3!!
|
Personally...I think it sucks. |
| Björn Andreasson from Gothenburg, Sweden says (17/Aug/2001): |
I only write this review to give a voice to those who are not into this genre. If you are, read the other reviews. I don´t like the game because I constantly get myself killed and have to start over again. This makes me feel like an idiot instead of an action hero. (Which would you prefer?). There is little room for creativity. You have to find THE right solution instead creating your own. It´s all about trial and error, and i simply don´t like it.

THE CRAPPEST GAME OF THE MILLENIUM |
| AKUMASTARR from PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA says (27/Aug/2001): |
I am have played heaps of shooting games in my life and when i saw syphon filter 2, like you I thought it would be good. When I played it I found out it's the crappest piece of dribble ever made[even as bad as tetris]. The colours are crap, the graphics are as bad as supermario1, it sounds crap,I completed it in 3 days with no cheats, it isn't even fun and it's just a complete rip off from METAL GEAR SOLID, now that's a good game.
HOW DO YOU LIKE SYPHON FILTER 1 AND 2 NOW?
|
SYPHON FILTER 1 AND 2 ARE THE TWO BEST GAMES EVER!! |
| Chris from USA says (18/Sep/2001): |
when i first played syphon filter 1...it rocked as hell!!!!1 So when i heard that part 2 was comin out .....even better..i got all excited and $#< remove me > at !!!! After beating and playing both parts for a couple times i realized that syphon filter 1 was a lil better than part 2 in the sense that part 1 was more of a "shoot and run" game while part 2 was more of a "trial and error". Anyways now that I heard and read all about Syphon Filter 3 coming out on Sept 26,im def gonna get it because i read this time u have the option of completing the missions by either "shoot or run" or by using stealth. Anyways its the last part in the series for the playstation!

Pretty good |
| Da Red Nob from Niagara, Canada says (14/Oct/2001): |
I thought the plot was a lot better and it was really hard. Unfortunately, the graphics were about the same and that isnt a compliment. The multiplayer mode is a big improvement but could be better with the option of playing against the computer.
|
The best of all video games in the world, it kicks ass!! |
| Brian D. S. from Brampton(Ontario)Canada says (12/Nov/2001): |
When i fisrt saw the game in the movie store, i knew i had to have it. The characters looked cool, especially Gabe. Then i bought the game, i loved it from the start. the game play was good, the missions hard, thats a complement, i like hard games, i kept dying but afterwards i mastered it and now am a hero. the graphics, sound and quality was extremely well done. The only thing was that i wished it was longer. Syphon Filter 2 now was way better then the first in every way. amd this time i thought it was almost perfect but i wished it was longer. this one was much more harder then the first. But i loved the guns and the game play. also the fact that you could play two player mode and that you got to play as more then one characters. Gabe Logan, Liang Xing and Teressa are the best game team ever to be created. the action and movies in these games are way higher above the rest. Now i am on my way to beating Syphon Filter 3, its hard, but it still rules. i recommand it to those who love hard to beat video Games. and for all those playing them good luck!!

extremely awesome game |
| matt from connecticut says (11/Feb/2002): |
This game is an epic game and i cant wait until i get sf3. im sure that that one will be way better than the other ones with better graphics, sounds, and levels. cant wait to see wut 989 studios comes up with next.
|
Best game there could ever be!!!!! |
| A gamer from China just kidding. says (17/Mar/2002): |
Syphon Filter 2 is the BEST!!!!!!I love using a air taser and starting the guys on fire.At the start when i get a checkpoint i target practice on my own guys though i loose when i kill them but you go back to the checkpoint and don't loose a thing!!!
|
It can get even better... |
| Mika from Jyväskylä ,Finnland says (23/Apr/2002): |
This game is a must have for a player who likes to play sneaking games like MGS or Tenchu. If you didn't like SF1 too much, don't worry! This one's a lot better, now it offers many sneaking sessios where it's vital to get trough unnoticed. By the way, there ARE parts where your only goal is simply to shoot 'em all down with heavy firepower like shotguns and grenades. I think the only "not-so-good-part" of the game is graphics, everything else is just first-class, especially the sound effects! It's simply a MUST HAVE!
|
A MUST have.. |
| Brian Sherman from Moorefield,USA says (9/Jun/2002): |
This is a good game and you MUST add it to your collection! If you like Blow 'em Up type games, this is for you. If you like sneaking around under the guard's nose. This is for you. If you like action packed games, then THIS is for you! A very GREAT game for almost anyone!
|
The best in the series! |
| Peter from Chicago IL says (24/Jun/2002): |
This is a great game cause you have to think in this game alot you cant just go shooting everyone like in Doom or Quake.Certain people you cant kill like the GI's or Airbase personel , also this game is very very very HARD i have beaten about 18 missions plus in some levels you cant use your weapons except silenced weapons or a taser. The only problem with this game is its really hard at some points and the bosses are hard especially Archer and Chance. Oh yeah Chance is a iousy bastard he turns on you at the end.The hardest missions are C-130, Pharcom, The Sewers , Finale,Disco, and a few others. The AI is really good like when your about to shoot an agent in the head he rolls on the ground and you miss plus your Flak Jacket isnt some magical Armor that will protect you against anything that comes by.The game has great weapons my personal favorites are the M79 the Air Taser, Grenades, and the 12 gauge shotgun. Get this game its the BEST!!!
|
IT IS SWEET AS!!! |
| Chris from Queensland, Australia says (5/Dec/2002): |
Syphon Filter 2 is a really good game because it has new and better weapons which makes it better than the first for it's variety of levels from the Colorado rockies to New York and the multiplayer function is the first time the creators retrieved levels from the first game and many new levels added making the multiplayer function a cool feature.With many old characters and many new ones, Syphon Filter 2 Is one of the best games ever made
|
How brilliant is this game? |
| R2RO from England says (24/Dec/2002): |
The answer to that question is:'It's the best computer game I've ever played.'
SF2 is a decent game. I won't get tired of this because it is so brilliant.
The best part has got to be the storyline. First of all Lian being captured then the plane being shot down (could be worked out from the intro)followed by the fact that the data disks are incomplete. Then Gregorov being an imposter. At the end I didn't think Teresa would be shot and I most certainly didn't think Chance would be a member of the agency.
There is a nice range of levels and everything flows. One slight fault is that it takes you until the end of disk 1 until you are actually at the C130 crash site. The first few levels seem to be time consuming but it's worth it. Some bits are easy and some bits are hard so there is a nice contrast.
Some people say SF2 is a rip off of MGS but that's impossible for the time to make the game wouldn't have been suffecient from the release of MGS and the release of SF2.
I have given each category a mark out of 10. For a 10/10 mark it adds 2 marks to the overall total.
Graphics - 9/10. Good all though the mouths don't move. A nice way to hid by not really showing close ups of the faces. Brilliant for the release date though. (Overall 2)
Sound (in missions)- 8/10. Good but the same as SF1 for most missions. But because I played SF2 first then SF1 so I wasn't too disappointed. (Overall 1)
Sound (ending music) - 10/10. Brilliant. A good use of instruments and a catchy tune. This tune stays in my head. (Overall 2)
Sound overall mark - 2
Gameplay - 10/10. Read the review for my comments on gameplay. (Overall 2)
Lifespan - 9/10. It took me long enough because I like a game which isn't too quick to finish but you don't get bogged down on certain missions and on others you zoom through. It needed 2 disks - I would have been incredibly disappointed if it finished with just 1 disk. (Overall 2)
Fun factor - 10/10. It was incredibly fun. The twists and turns were surprising which made it even better. Read the review and lifespan for more info. (Overall 2)
Originality - 10/10. A typical SF game. Because I played SF2 first I give this a 10/10 for originality whereas SF1 I only give a 9/10 because the idea was the same as SF2. (Overall 2)
A brilliant game - a must have to anyone who likes action games or liked MGS.

Great game hard to stay stealthy when ya want to blow the ****out of someone. |
| Matt from Pottstown,PA says (26/Dec/2002): |
It's cool hard to stay undercover. Being unseen is an advantage but when ya want to destroy someone it isn't. Gunshots tip others off. There are to many gards around the control tower. Lian always gets caught. Then trying to deactivate the bombs on the bridge its almost enough to drive you crazy. Then Chance is a trator who is impossible to beat. The UAS-12 knocks him back but what do you do when you run out of bullets. Any body wants to talk about this game my adress is on your screen

this game rocks with the sniper |
| Shane Wentzel from Birdsboro, PA USA says (23/Jul/2003): |
This game was kinda boring up until u get the sniper and then it gets fun. Some of the levels where a little confusing but once u figure them out they were easy. I think that the syphon filter legacy should continue onto the PS2 and have some new guns. I love the guns. This game was one of my top ten favs along with MGS and dark silhoute and my fav Legend of dragoon
|
Hmmm could b better |
| DD from Melbourne,VIC,Australia says (2/Jun/2003): |
Tho posing little to no chalenge for me at all... (bit of a letdown) it waz ok so i give it a score of 5/10... if the multiplayer settings where better (ie. able to go against the computer with better AI settings) and the HARD difficulty waz a selection after you finished the game on the normal setting then it would be a game to get with chalenges... i found the first Syphon Filter game more chalenging than this..... but its still a game to get if you are thinking of getting Syphon Filter 3.... to keep the storyline strait...

This is one of the best games you could ever lay your hand on... |
| Zack from USA says (20/Feb/2003): |
Ok, so there are 3 words to describe the SF series. THESE GAMES ROCK! If you want to see an action packed beginning and end like one of those cool movies, go for this game and you'll be barking up the right tree!! Here's a review of the stuff in the game:
Fun-10/10
I love sneaking up behind some bad dude and just slitting his throat or zapping him in this game.
Graphics-10/10
If you liked the graphics on MGS, You'll love how realistic stuff looks on here- If you kill a person, THEY'LL BE IN A POOL OF BLOOD-very real.
Gameplay-10/10
Who thought you could be outside in the streets of Moscow with a teargas launcher? Or at a disco with a .45 handgun? heh heh heh!
Difficulty-10/10
Not too hard, not too easy, another great game by Eiditic/989 Studios!
Plot-9/10 Great beginning and end, begins with a Chinese town being assaulted, ends with a funeral!
Overall- 49/50 :):):)
WONDERFUL GAME!
|
Very good game but not the best action game ever made |
| Matt from New York says (24/Jan/2002): |
This is a very good game. I like the characters and the graphics are alright. However the gameplay is one of the best. I think though that Meatal Gear Solid is even better i cant wait till SF# and MGS2.
|
Super story, gameplay and characters |
| Chris from Germany says (18/Feb/2002): |
I played Syphon Filter 1, and I thought "well, nice game", but now I've got the sequel and I have to say, that it's really the best game I ever played. I don't think it's a clone of MGS, because it has got it's own flair with much more action and the levels are difficult but not too hard. Play it and you'll find out what I mean!
|
VERY EXCITING AND COOL! Way better than Tombraider!!! |
| A gamer says (31/Dec/2002): |
I thought it was really brilliant and cool! The whole family just watched the game for entertainment instead of tele, a dvd or video - it was that good! In other games you can't tell one voice from another but in Syphon filter 1 and 2 every voice is different. The graphics looked really lifelike and real. It was really hard but kept us on the edge of our seats. For the first few days we didn't have a memory card!SHOCK HORROR! But then we got one and then life was so much simpler! Syphon Filter 1 and Syphon Filter 2 were both very original! The fun factor was 110%.
The storyline was fascinating, The new characters were very interesting, The cutscenes made the game more like real life, and to see the characters react to Gabe or Lian (or whoever is the main character is at that moment) without even controlling them with the controller - it is just like WOW! My favourite weapon is the air taser because when you are on the last baddie you can shoot at him with it and watch him burn for hours on end!!! The only thing I would change is that on each level there should be at least one gun with unlimited ammo( apart from taser and knife ). Because it is really annoying when you are on the last baddie out of a large group and you suddenly run out of ammo, and all you have left is your knife.
