aphrodite_'s Full Review: Syphon Filter for PlayStation 1
Okay. Maybe I'm partial to James Bond and Nintendo's Goldeneye game which kept me awake many nights just trying to get James past enemy fire. The jungle scene drove me crazy trying to get past the Gatling guns, but the Cradle scene, as well as trying to provide cover for his sidekick, Natalya, as bullets whizzed around her head as she expertly reprogrammed the computer in the Control Center, now THAT was fun. Okay, no game comes close to 007 Goldeneye, but I digress. Back to my review of Syphon Filter. By the way, why doesn't Gabe have a female companion like James Bond? Where is Gabe's girl anyway?

Syphon Filter is a very fun game, full of adventure of the espionage type, good against evil, you know the story. The excitement level rates high, way up there, right next to the roller-coaster ride at Six Flags over Texas--you know the one--the Rattler. Well, this game is almost as fun as that, until you get shot at numerous times, watching bullets penetrate your "flack" jacket, just as you were about to beat one level and enter the next. It's hard to save your game as you go along, and even the check points are far and few between, which gets a little frustrating since you are forced to go back and kill the same guys you just killed a few minutes before. Talk about a bad case of Deja vu.... But overall, it's really fun to jump through windows, roll and race through shattering glass doors, dodge and weave through a raging, blazing series of subway fires, and stealthily sneak past unaware guards in the catacombs. It's a lot like Metal Gear, but with an attitude.
