Syphon Filter 3

When I first heard about Syphon Filter 3, I thought that this would be a cool game. When I bought it, I played it, but got a little bit disappointed. It was cool to actually see the characters' mouths moving when they are talking. I was disappointed with how Gabe Logan looked. He looked liked a punk. There were also some times in the game that you get to use some of the weapons you kept in the earlier levels in the past Syphon Filter games. They did not allow this one. There was one mission were you have some weapons, and conserved ammo for it, but the next level limited you. There is only one big surprise in the game, but I am not going to spoil it for you. All in all it is an okay game.

The story was the only good part of the game. Gabe and Lian Xing are still trying to eliminate the Syphon Filter threat, and Lawrence Mujari is trying to get a meeting with the Senate to clear their names. When at the Senate, the player controls the character's past missions including Costa Rica before the first game.

When I played Syphon Filter 2, I was blown away. The music fit the atmosphere of the game, but the only drawback was the characters' faces, which only showed a pair of "lines" for eyes and that was it. Moving to SF3, they finally added faces to the characters, but now the MUSIC is empty. If you heard the disco music on the Moscow Club mission in SF2, you will listen to the SF3 music and wonder where they went wrong here. You can actually TELL the music has been downgraded from its predecessing game. The unique thing was that they kept the same theme song for SF2 and SF3 (I haven't played SF1, so I wouldn't know). Hopefully, in the soon-to-be-released Syphon Filter: Omega Strain, they'll stab this game with better music.

If you loved the other Syphon Filter games, you'll enjoy this, but basically this feels more like a compilation of leftovers from the first and the second. The story is told in flashbacks. Gabe and Lian are interrogated about the Syphon Filter, and their stories make out the game. The gameplay is the same as before, with a couple of new weapons in the inventory. A gun whitch can fire through everything!! will definetely be everybody's favorite.

Gabe and Lian are basically taken across the world as usual, sneaking and roaming around taking out the enemy. Great fun at times, but a bit repetitive. All in all a cool cool game, but it's far too easy to beat if you beat the original Syphon Filter and it's sequel. I would recommend to the check out the "hard difficulty" cheat, which will make this game far more enjoyable If you are a Syphon Filter junkie you should definetely check this game out!!
