Syphon Filter 2 will sell. You know it, we know it. But it's our job to tell you that it's a subpar sequel to one of the best games last year; and in typical 989 fashion, SF2 is sloppy, rushed and rehashed. The game engine itself offers no substantial improvement, other than a feeble "jump" function that you can't even control, and the ability to save at checkpoints. However, the price we pay for such minor improvements far outweigh the rewards. It seems that by allowing you to save (and restart) at each checkpoint, Eidetic has open license to create some of the most linear and frustrating levels ever. What happened to the classic arctic base level from the original SF, where triggering an alarm sent you up shit creek but kept the game rolling just the same? As it is, SF2 has lost all sense of spontaneity. Expect to run each gauntlet over and over again with machine-like precision until you've figured out the lay of the land. And why did Eidetic destroy the balance between run-and-gun versus stealth game-play? Overall, there are a lot more stealth missions, each filtered through SF2's harsh mission parameters (read: get caught, start over and over and over and over.). However, there's a cool string of levels in Russia that really bring back the old SF feeling, but it's over all too soon and before you know it, Logan's sneaking around with his Taser again. A huge disappointment comes in the form of SF2's multiplayer mode. Granted, it's nice being able to unlock characters and levels to use in DM, but what's the point when the actual DM game is so barebones and shallow? Two-player versus always comes down to grabbing the grenade launcher, locking the target and ka-boom, instant frag. If you're lucky, you'll pull off a non-camper head shot--thanks to how painfully slow it is to aim your gun. We know it was silly of us to expect a real sequel from 989, but hey...we can always dream.
Syphon filter is a third person action game. The gameplay varies throughout the levels. The majority of the game is a pretty fun shooter with objectives which you have to complete, failing any of the missions will force you back to the nearest checkpoint. Objectives are quite varied and you can complete them in any order you choose. This was quite fun especially when replaying the game, the levels still come across as quite linear but its still nice to choose how to carry out each objective. You have many weapons at your disposal to shoot terrorists in the face including the good old silenced pistol to assault rifles and sniper rifles. All serve there purpose and allow you to mix up your shooting play style.
