A great run-n-gun, but it didn't have as much action as the other two in the PS1 trilogy. It does however, feature the best boss fight in the series. Worth playing if you are a PlayStation fan and want to try the Syphon Filter series, but mediocre compared to it's successors. 4/5 stars.

"Syphon Filter" is a combination of "Metal Gear Solid" and "Goldeneye 007". It's a third-person shooter with stealth and puzzle elements. The plot is engaging and the boss fights are challenging. While the series is underrated, this first entry is a really good action spy game. I'd rate it with an 8.5 out of 10.

A criminally underrated series, it's rare to find a 1st game this good. The missions are varied, the soundtracks adds a lot to the experience, and I loved the characters and story. I hope it gets revived one day, cause it has so much potencial.

I know this is an old game now but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a well made game. From the story, characters, level design, & stealth/action levels, this is a fantastic game. It’s definitely challenging at times but it keeps you engaged the entire time. This is definitely one of the best games I’ve ever played & definitely helped revolutionize shooter games. 8/10, points off for some difficulty issues & minor game mechanic errors.

This game is a gem of 90s that, for its time, offered an unparalleled experience. Its blend of action, stealth, and deep narrative makes it a classic that defined a generation. The smooth gameplay, precise controls, and tense atmosphere created total immersion. Mechanics like the use of the Taser and the focus on strategy were revolutionary. It wasn’t just technically impeccable, but it also left an indelible mark on those who played it, being a title that truly defined an era in gaming.

Alright,let's start the review. Level Design - I find it to be pretty good...props to Eidetic. AI in game - I find the AI in this game very challenging and top notch. Art cover and Graphics - Art wise its ok but because its a PS1 game the graphics felt very dated. Controls - The controls in this game felt very lame and tankish but the strafing kind of helped the game a bit. Soundtrack - The soundtrack of this game is brilliant and memorable,especially the main menu theme IMO. Overall,its a decent game but with flaws in mind and by the way theres a bug in the freedom memorial level on the psx emulator where if u kill girdeux the game fades to black and never progresses with voice-overs in the background continue playing.

I thought the AI to be excellent for it's time, and this game came out to rival with metal gear, the devs were even worried the game would ressemblance too much with mgs

A remarkable game from PS1, a revolution at that time, not repetitive at all, wish they would remake this one on new generation standards

Played this back in 2000s on PS1 of course and was one of those games that I will always remember. Looked amazing, played good, interesting story and lots of action. Now that its on PS4 n 5, I recommend highly to classic game lovers to go back and explore but be ready for adjustment needed with gameplay todat. ️

Questo gioco è stradivertente è invecchiato molto la trilogia meritano i loro remake. Syphon Filter Revival (una riproposizione molto fedele del primo capitolo con enigmi più rielaborati e un Combat System più comodo con enigmi a tempo magari allungandone la durata delle porte aperte. Tutte sono le missioni presenti combat System fluido in terza persona e miglioramento sull' aggancio del bersaglio aggiungerei dei collezionabili all'Uncharted e the Last of Us ) Syphon Filter 2 Re All+ Syphon Filter 2 Syphon Filter 3 tranne la missione dell Hotel di **** , Syphon Filter Dark Mirror e Syphon Filter Logan Shadow finale Syphon Filter 2 la morte di Teresa senza menzionare il progetto dark Mirror eliminando il multiplayer e migliorie come il suo predecessore ma un gameplay vario migliorato ed arricchito, Syphon Filter 3 Remake, avvenimenti successivi alla morte di Teresa che in realtà anche no, un gameplay open world ambientato a Tokyo protagonisti Gabe Lian Teresa e Laurence e varietà).

Me fascino el taser, fue algo maravilloso en mi infancia, me hizo ver el mundo de una manera diferente, estoy muy agradecido con los creadores de este titulo, jugué la mayoría y me gustaron bastante. deberían sacar uno actual para steam con todas las armas de sus antecesores.

Es un videojuego realmente maravilloso, un juego de espionaje y de disparos bastante adictivo, una jugabilidad bastante buena para la época, los gráficos son pasables, un catálogo de armas muy entretenido e interesante y una admosfera, música y los míticos gráficos oscuros del ps1 le dan un tinte de acción y suspenso muy genial, un juego de mi infancia lo recomiendo totalmente

Syphon Filter is a game that even for the time it feels really outdated, this is not an early PS1 game, this is 1999. By the time, the controls and graphics were much more polished overall. The way to shoot the guns reminds me to GTA 3, if not, a bit worse for its camera, so you really know what to expect. Although the first person view was cool, and there´s a bit variety of weapons to use. But what kills this game is the level design and its checkpoint system, is so unfair at times, killing you in one hit only because you do a mistake and losing like 15 minutes or more of progress. But the enemies never are a threat, and they can shoot you from close range and i mean close range like 1 METER and they dont hit you, WHAT? The soundtrack was fine, the same with the story, but nothing spectacular. There´s also a bit of revolutionary gameplay here and there, but anything impressive in this game is drag down by the bad.

A PS1 classic that combines Metal Gear Solid with Goldeneye. The action is fast and fluid, although the controls are a little sluggish. You play as Gabriel Logan, a U.S. spy that must stop terrorists bent on unleashing a biological weapon. The story is engaging and gameplay is a mix of shooting and stealth. One big tip: master the head shot early! Metal Gear fans should enjoy this. I would rate Syphon Filter with an 8.5 out of 10

Para ser un clon del Golden 007 de N64 y de los Metal Gear Solid, este juego estaba bien hecho y con esencia de pelijuego como los juegos de Sony. El doblaje es bastante bueno, los gráficos eran lo mas avanzados de la PS1, la dificultad es bastante frustrante y complicada, pero lo suficiente, no tiene coleccionables para que vayas directo a la acción y a la vez tiene sigilo como la misión del museo y los jefes son variados y me encanta que puedas apuntar y disparar mientras corres, la banda sonora es como de las películas de espías y la historia habla sobre la histeria de los virus y las armas biológicas y las conspiraciones sobre las agencias nacionales y el gobierno de Estados Unidos. El mejor juego de Bend Studio y mejor héroe Gabe Logan

Without a doubt , the greatest game of the fifth generation of gaming. There is no shooting-action game that can match it or it's sequel.

One of those games I played as a kid which I enjoyed...despite being frustrated as to how many times I died in each mission.

When Agent Ellis loses contact during a mission in Costa Rica, special agents Gabe and Lian to are sent to find him and apprehend international terrorist Erich Rhoemer. Syphon Filter provides an entertaining mix of stealth and action orientated gameplay, and although the graphics and controls now feel very dated, it’s still pretty good fun.

Despite the sluggish controls and awkward movement, there is a lot of fun to be had with Syphon FIlter. The large range of weapons and tools, interesting level layout and progressive mission objectives and criteria make for an intersting experience. Voice acting is surprisingly good and some of the weapons sound fantastic for the time. Boss battles are the only thing that bother me, to be honest. Enemies shooting you from beyond the draw distance is some grade A crap, but is easily subverted in the end.

Syphon Filter es un juegazo. No puedo entender como es que lograron hacer algo tan divertido para la época. Ojalá sacaran una versión remasterizada...

The best game in the series. Played this back in high school, and it's well worth a purchase if you own the system. Not quite as good as MGS but still a solid game.

Ever wanted to be a spy in a game? Then Syphon Filter on the PlayStation is the game for you. It's better than Mission Impossible and Metal Gear Solid (the most overrated game on PS). The graphics are very simple but the gameplay and action is spot on. Also the music and sound in general is good. When i was first playing this game i thought the actor who did the voice for Gabe Logan was Alec Baldwin, he has the same smooth and cool way of talking (or should I say: whispering). The shooting in this game is very satisfying, there is a lot of action but also stealth in the game. It's all very compelling and the whole game feels like you're in an action/spy movie. Of course the graphics are very dated by now and the characters look more like Playmobil toys than real persons, but the gameplay is still good and I had a lot of fun playing this game. I rate Syphon Filter 8 out of 10.

A beautifully well written game that has missions split between heavy action and stealth. The weapons were varied and it was a thrill making my way through its tense and challenging levels. Let’s hope that we receive a new Syphon Filter game in the future.
