> 3 dayIve been a huge fan of Syphon Filter ever since Syphon FIlter came out for PS1. 1 was a classic, 2 a bit lacking in the graphics but great storyline, and 3 man, what a game! Omega Strain I didnt like too much. BUT, Dark Mirror is the absolute BEST to date. Amazing storyline, the graphics are unbelievable for a hand held game! While the controls took a bit of gettng used to, the training levels take care of that in no time. This is a MUST HAVE PSP game. If you dont believe me, try for yourself you wont regret it.

*****
Greater than one weekWhen 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.

> 3 dayDark Mirror is flat out amazing. If you have a PSP and you dont have this you are missing out. Syphon Filter was my favorite game for the original Playstation and there are many who feel as strong about that game. Syphon Filter 2 and 3 came out later for that system and they were also both great games. Next came Syphon Filter The Omega Strain (for the Playstation 2) which had been originally designed as a multiplayer online game only. Towards the end of the development of the game it was decided to include the normal single player experience which was good but not as fun as the first 3 Syphon Filter games. I never really got into the online multiplayer features but I did try it a few times and that was where Omega Strain was at its best. The online servers for that game are no longer running. So now lets flash forward to more recent times. Dark Mirror continued the Syphon Filter franchise (on the Playstation Portable) and made it even better. The single player missions are excellent and the multiplayer features are also top notch. I havent played the next installment (Syphon Filter Logans Shadow - also for the PSP) but I own it. What I look forward to most is seeing Syphon Filter in high definition (on the PS3). My only complaint about this game was that there is some strong language which was not necessary for the experience. This is my opinion and it is an issue in many games today. Overall, I would pick this as my favorite PSP game and one of my favorites of all time.

> 3 daySyphon 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.

> 3 dayOf all the games out there for psp, this is the one you want. With its awesome single player mode, and the robust multiplayer, Its a must have for all gamers. Ive finished this game several times on single player, and have played tons of multiplayer. How can you compare other games to this one? You have to actually play DM before you see how a psp game should look and play. The feedback from the people who own this game are proof, and if you dont believe them look at the reviews, and the ratings its getting. [...] Out of 14 reviews it still carries an average of 92% ! The highest rated game to date on the PSP!Do yourself a favor and pick this beauty up!

> 3 dayI never got my game because the seller made a postal error so the post office sent it back, and Amazon had to give me a full refund because for some reason the post office had to send it back and I would like to know why......
