Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: My Opinion:Syphon Filter:Dark Mirror is the Best PSP game at the moment. Comment: Why do people think GTA:Liberty City Stories is?,Rockstar did a great job with it and it is remincent of its PS2 counterparts,but GTA has turned from a simply FUN series to the most over-rated thing to be put onto game-store shelves,thats why I no longer like GTA anymore,I honestly prefer Mercenaries:Playground Of Destruction to GTA:San Andreas. Anyways this gem,Syphon Filter:Dark Mirror is nothing short of subperb,in both single player and online,its SOLID. It being a stealth-action game puts the crad-based Metal Gear Ac!d games and Splinter Cell:Essnetials to shame,although not as heavily based on stealth as they are. There is a new Metal Gear game coming to PSP winter 2006,its called "Metal Gear Solid:Portable Ops" which will be the first true Metal Gear game on PSP,you play as Big Boss or Naked Snake,the guy you play in Metal Gear Solid 3 on the PS2(which is a GOLD game),six years after his mission:Op:SNAKE EATER where his former unit FOX has revolted against the government,he must stop him,but this time he can`t go alone so he must recruit people in to his own squad of mercenries to fight against FOX. People say MPO(Metal Gear Solid:Portable Ops) will be better than SF:DM,and i personally think so too,but I`ll have to wait and see. MPO has also be announced to be recieving several sequels,so my PSP is about to get even more hotter than it is now. lol =) Customer Rating: Summary: Must-buy for third-person fans Comment: 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 isn't 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. Customer Rating: Summary: THIS GAME KICKS A*S!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment: THE GAMEPLAY: THERE IS RAG DOLL PHYSICS IN THE GAME. YOU CAN SEE YOUR ENIMES BODY FLY AROUND WHEN AN EXPLOSION GOS OFF!!!! THERE IS ALOT OF BLOOD IN THE GAME TO. YOUR EMINE BLEEDS EVERY TIME YOU SHOOT THEM TO. AND THERE IS FIRE FROM THE EXPLOSIONS AND YOUAND YOUR ENIMES CAN GET CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE GAME TO. THE SOUND: ONE SOUND YOU CAN HERE IS THE SOUND OF YOUR ENIMES TALKING AND YOUR ENIMES SCREAMING WHEN YOU SHOOT THEM. THE SOUND OF EXPLOSIONS IS IN THIS GAME TO. THE SOUND YOU WILL PROBLY THE MOST IS THE SOUNDS OF GUN SHOTS. THE GRAHICS: THE GRAGICS IN SYPHON FLITER DARK MIRROR ARE A AMAZING!!!! HERE IS THE THE OTHER STUFF ABOUT THE GAME......... ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I LOVE THIS GAME IS YOU CAN PLAY ONLINE!!!!! AND IN THE GAME AS YOU GO ALONG YOU CAN FIND NEW GUNS AND YOU CAN FIND HIDDEN EVIDINCE. AND THERE IS LEVELS IN THE GAME WERE YOU HAVE TO USE EDSU GOGLES TO FIND HIDDEN MOTION CENSORS AND YOU WILL USE OTHER GOGLES TO. AND THERE IS MANY OTHER AWSOME STUFF I CANT EVEN NAME THME!!!! AWSOME GAME BUY IT!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Fun, but not as good as some of the hype Comment: I got this because somebody on Gamespot said that it 'defined the PSP platform'. Well, it's a pretty good game anyway, and probably the best shooter for the PSP. The good : It is pretty long and has beautiful cutscenes and fantastic sound. The levels get better as you play. Some of the first levels were really small and cheezy. Towards the end, there are some pretty neat things. The game physics are really nice (you can shoot someone in the knee with a 357 and they will fall on their face, then get up and limp, explosions cause rag doll effects etc). The sniper rifle is a lot of fun once you get it down. Its pretty fun to pick off the bad guys using it. The not so good : The bosses in this game are LAME! Regular guys in bulletproof suits of some kind except for one tank. When you throw a grenade (which you need for the last few bosses), the whole PSP grinds to a halt so you can't switch easily to a gun in time to shoot the boss when his suit is powered down. (I guess it is calculating the grenades effects and can't hear the buttons). A lot of levels are dark so its hard to see in normal lighting. There usually are no more than 2 or three enemies on the screen at once. Probably not enough horsepower for more. Good bosses would have made up for that. Even Sonic on the Genesis had enough horsepower for a challenging boss every level. Customer Rating: Summary: best Syphon Filter yet! Comment: I've 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.

Editorial Reviews: Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror gives you a dangerous job to perform, as you push yourself to the limits. Become Gabe Logan, as you handle the missions that are too politically sensitive for a standard military strike.
