Syphon Filter 3

             Remember 2001? I found myself more excited that this game was on the works for PS2 game set in Syphon Filter universe than in release of the third in PSOne series (That was a decade ago). But after once again immersing myself in its quality gameplay and intriguing story of international espionage, it was easy to realize why this series aas one of the hallmarks in latter half of the PSOne classics.

            Those familiar with the series will find much to rejoice in: the continuation of the convulated story, traditionally solid graphics, three targeting modes, a large arsenal and the same moves. Gabe and Lian (and a few new playable characters) all still run with that peculiar bowlegged swagger. As we've come to know the control over the years, its still sluggish, but good overall. Features include several new mini-games with random enemy regeneration for replayability; these include timed, steatlh, assassination, and cover fire missions. But in the meat of the game is the 18 levels truly spanning the globe, each with multiple checkpoints and mission objectives that should make for at least 20-30 hours gameplay.

As the story goes, Gabe and Lian exiled from the Agency, on trial in a private. Senate hearing for crimes they didn't commit. As they testify, you play the missions as flashbacks, until Gabe and Lian must stop the spread of Syphon Filter by secret arms dealing group in present day.
