RATED M MATIURE
Amazon.com Review
Fans were surprised to hear that the third game in the popular Syphon Filter series would be built for the PlayStation. We're going to have to wait another year for the series to jump over to the PlayStation2, but that's all right, because playing Syphon Filter 3 on the PlayStation is like coming home again. You again play as Gabe Logan as he tracks terrorists, enemy spies, and the Syphon Filter virus. The story has Congress getting involved and actually trying to pin the virus problem from the first two games on Gabe and his partner Lian Xing. Gabe must clear his name and save the world again. Interestingly, the missions are played out of order, as Gabe and his team explain their past missions to the committee; it's a flashback structure that keeps the game refreshing. The Syphon Filter games have never been for the weak-skilled. Syphon Filter 3 features location-based damage (a head shot is fatal), making it either frustrating or exhilarating, depending on how you look at it. The controls are as responsive as they've always been, and the camera system doesn't fail, which is a rarity in third-person action games. The graphics are quite good for the PlayStation, if only slightly improved from Syphon Filter 2. The gameplay is extensive, with not only the story-based missions, but also some minigames and a multiplayer option that lets you gun for a friend in head-to-head combat. Given the flashback nature of the missions, Syphon Filter 3 might be confusing for new players, but fans of the series should enjoy it, and it would make a good companion purchase with the earlier classics. In many ways the game feels like an expansion pack to Syphon Filter 2, which isn't a bad thing at all. This compelling game proves there's life yet in the old PlayStation. --Bob Andrews Pros: - Missions are interesting
- Graphics are slightly improved
Cons: - Breaks no new ground for the series

 I'm a dad!! October 7, 2008

I am a Syphonfilter fan but when you play the first to you master the configuration pretty quick. And once mastered you pretty much breeze trough the game with out difficulty. And thats the problem with this game I finished the game it 3&1/2 hours and I was a bit dissapointed but that was just a minor set back to me. The action was pretty damn good and the story was good to but not a better storyline like part 2 was. If you are a fan get part 1,2&3 but don't get the OMEGA STRAIN that game sucked.
WHY CAN`T SAM OR GABE DO THE JOB? March 11, 2006

thats GABE?-I know Sam was Sam fisher from the sh!!ty Splinter Cell games-it comes from metal Gear Solid 3:Subsistence where Solid Snake is complaining he doesn`t wanna do a mission-But unfortunatly they WEREN`T available-Sam Fisher couldn`t take down MESAL GEAR anyway but Logan could.
Solid Snake is always given hard mission when he wants to stay in Alaska with his dogs-of coarse Sam does a mission ever year but he was in operation "CHAOS THEORY" so Gabe shouldda done it.
Mr.47(from Hitman) could have been hired to slay Col.Volgin and the Boss.
LOL :)
This Game is Truly The Best Game For Ps1 August 31, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Im gonna tell you once and im gonna tell you again there isnt a better game on ps1 then the Syphon Filter series. Especialy this game. Ive played all 3 Syphon Filters including the newest one. This one was the first one I played and I enjoyed it very much. This game is filled with so much action I couldnt believe it. In the first level you start out in a hotel and you get to sniper people across a building. Every single level in this game is just so freaken cool. Plus this time you get to play as a bunch of diffrent agents like Laurence Majuri, Terisa Lepan, and Lian Xing. The weapons have improved too. In this game you get a MIL-15 wich is a freaken cool explosive shotgun. You also get this really sweet x-ray gun wich can shoot through walls. The only thing that honestly dissapointed me in this game was the small amount of levels. Theres only 19 levels in this game. But of course the all new mini game option kept me pretty busy. I thought when I bought this game there was gonna be two discs but there is only 1. Hell there should of been 3! Anyway overall I think this game was just completely kick ass. Ive replayed this game so many times and I think anyone who likes the Syphon Filter franchise should have this game in there collection. I know we live in an age of playstation 2 now but you should still buy this game. Trust me you wont be dissapointed.

if i had to describe this game in two words, they would be: KICK ASS!! Im a biiig fan of SF for PSone and love all 3 of 'em. the setup for the controls is easy to master quickly, even shooting was made better (i think at least) than SF2 (syphon filter 2). the X-ray gun is by far the best weapon in the game. i mean...come on. who doesnt like a sniper rifle that can shoot thru walls.
