This franchise helped pave the way for action stealth games. Playing it now both gives me nostalgia but also makes me appreciate how far videogames have come in two decades. For me, Syphon filters mechanics can be wonky in terms of navigation but it still had a good targeting system for combat. Also, the AI for enemies primative by today's standards. Yet, running and gunning your way through levels at times reminds of action movies from the 80s and 90s. The sound design and graphics hold up ok, although it's obviously dated. Apart from this, the games are great fun for a throw back experience.

I was super excited to get this, I practically ran from mailbox to family room and pulled out my good ol’ PlayStation 2(upgrades make the world go round) pressed open on my machine and put this bad boy in. For a good long minute it did nothing, no music, no sound, no dice! I think then I took it out to see, how I could help. No change in the disc(obviously) no change in my PlayStation, everything was in tiptop shape. Put it back in, no changes made, runs like a top now.

I remember some people were making fun of this game for being a Metal Gear clone. This game isn't like Metal Gear at all. Metal Gear is all about stealth and avoiding being seen by the enemy. This game is about leaping feet first into the action... zapping enemies with a taser until they burst into flames(I swear this is true), and you laugh because it's funny. This game also is unique in that environmental hazards and not fulfilling certain objectives within a certain amount of time will kill you instantly. This adds more challenge, because there are checkpoints but more than likely you will have to play some stages over and over in order to get through them. This game is a lot of fun, and is one of the games that should not be forgotten and confined to the annuls of history as a "Metal Gear clone"... because it's definitely not.Read full review
