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

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.

I love this game. Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror has great graphics for the PSP and excellent gameplay. I loved this game so much that after getting rid of my copy I had before, I could not settle for a used copy, I had to have a new one, at a great price too.

Bought this as a gift for my son for Christmas, and he hasnt put it down yet... Dont know much about the game, but if hes happy, then Im happy...

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!

been A big Fan of the Syphon Filter Series, This game was so easy it has taken two days to beat. I would definately reccomend this to anyone who has played the syphon filter games.

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.

Not for small and young children - rated M Grandson like this game.

Love the game

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

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.
