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

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 !!!

Great game and super easy controls. Have all games in the sypon filter world and plus 100 hours of game play. Can redo missions for extra weapon fun. Some mission very challenging for a shooter gamer of my caliber but a must have for the system. Has a great preview for some up and coming version still not out in the USA yet. Need to own this.

I think SCEA did a great job creating this game. I thoroughly enjoyed the single-player missions. It had a rich, in-depth storyline, as well as character development. In the single-player part of the game, there are over hundreds of weapons and gadgets to choose from. Most of the guns and gadgets you have to unlock though, which gives a point of playing the game. You can also sneak behind an enemy and break his neck, slice him with a knife, or shoot him in the head. Whichever way works good for you. I also love the fact that each mission didnt take long at all to load. And you can easily get over 30+ hours from the single-player missions. This game easily outshines in graphics from the other games. The characters look great, texture, maps, and almost everything looks clean and smooth. Now for the online playing, I enjoyed it very much, however, there are only 4 or 5 small maps and you can have up to 8 players in the online playing. The controls will take about a week of getting used to, so dont get discouraged when you die in the first 10 seconds of playing! Eventually, youll get the hang of it and will be able to shoot like the vets. Theres also an awesome rank system in the game as well as clans. (Known as cells in the game.) Most of the people who play Socom play this game too. So be prepared for the cheating and rude language of the online play. This game gets very violent, and I also heard a few F words in the single-player part of the game (Non-stop language in the online playing). Id reccomend this game to anyone who is mature enough to know and understand the consequences of abusing violence and language in real life. I know it sounds strict, but I dont think any youngsters should have this in their head. The only way to find out the surprises and adventures this game offers is to try it out yourself. Highly reccomended. 4/5

Syphon 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.

When Sony decided to go into the handheld gaming market, I think they wanted to appeal to the same demographic as their big brother console. And that means attracting a more mature audience. Nintendo tends to capture the family market, which isnt a bad thing. I say this because if theres any game that truly defines and epitomizes what the PSP is all about, then Syphon Filter Dark Mirror is that game. This game represents all that the PSP is capable of. It is to bad that other developers have not pushed their resources for their games to be this good in so many ways. Everything from graphics, controls, to the all-important fun factor is on point with this title. The storyline is engaging, the levels are beautifully rendered, and the missions are diverse. You really do feel like the character youre controlling in the game, thats how good it is. I have read complaints about the boss characters not being so over-the-top like in other games. That doesnt matter so much to me, because as you go up against them, it still requires skill, patience, trial, and error to beat them. Thats the challenge and the fun of any video game. If anyone gets a Sony PSP, then this is the first game they should buy.

This game is great, but I would strongly recommend that you save your money and get the other one, logans shadow

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 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.

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

This game is incredible. This is easily the best game out for the PSP system to date. I read about it online and thought that it would be a good game to rent or borrow from a friend, but I purchased it when it came out and I have not been let down. --GAMEPLAY-- This game plays really well. I thought the controls would be fairly complicated and require you to play the game with instruction manual on your lap but I was surprised how easy it is to control your character in the game. After the Training Missions I didnt have to look at the manual to find out how to perform certain moves, combat techniques, etc. During Gameplay, certain button strokes appear when your character can perform certain actions making it very easy to work with. The graphics are amazing. You can tell the programmers spent a lot of time figuring out how far they could push the PSP system and it paid off. I was amazed at the detail of the characters faces and the surroundings during gameplay. --ONLINE-- Again, hands down it has the best online game forum and matches for the PSP to date. If you get bored or stuck in the single player mode, you can switch over to some great challengers in multiplayer. I like that the missions arent just kill everything in sight but I like the multiplayer mission where you have to work as a team to accomplish certain tasks that are board specific. The game is rated M for violence and language and I dont think it would be appropriate for young children. There is some strong language (very limited but still present) and there is violence but not as much as you would expect from a game of this type. I was also very impressed with the price. I would expect a game of this caliber to come out costing upwards of $49.99 but I was very pleased to see it was only $39.99. It is very worth the price!
