Product Description: Picking up from where the last game left off, Syphon Filter 2 starts with Lian Xing being infected with the Syphon Filter virus. Gabe Logan must find the antidote, stop the spread of the virus, and clear his name. To do all of this, Gabe will have to travel the world and face many enemies. Just like the first game, he can take out foes with quick shots to the head. But this time around Gabe can also sneak up behind someone and slash his throat. Gabe also has help with his mission, as the player will be able to take the role of Lian in several levels. If you get tired of fighting computer drones, a new Deathmatch mode lets you battle your friends. Remember, stealth will keep you alive longer than brute force in Syphon Filter 2.
Editorial Review: Although it's not nearly as well crafted as Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter 2 will definitely appeal to those looking for something more than your basic shoot-'em-up. The gritty espionage plot here is a continuation from the original game, with players once again controlling Gabe Logan and, for the first time, Lian Xing, two operatives on the lam from their former outfit, the Agency.
Syphon Filter 2 is broken up into missions bridged by cinematic story sequences; players must successfully complete each mission's objectives in order to progress to the next one. While gameplay is rigidly linear, there's great variety in the mission objectives, 3-D environments, and weapons/equipment of each mission.
Not a game for the easily frustrated, Syphon Filter 2 involves a lot of trial-and-error replay, along with the requisite cursing and throwing of the controller. While each mission objective is clearly stated, many of them aren't as straightforward as one would think. A vague control scheme--your character can jump, but there's no jump button--along with the fact that it's really easy to die add more fuel to one's ire. --Joe Hon
Pros:
Gritty espionage plot
Variety of mission objectives, 3-D environments, weapons, and equipment
Cons:
Frustrating trial-and-error gameplay and vague control scheme
Poorly designed two-player split-screen mode

SF 2 was some of the mosr fun i've ever had playing a game. The game has fantastic weapons and has multiplayer. The good things are that the gameplay is loads of fun and the soundtrack is amazing. The game is said to be very hard for some but ive managed 2 beat this game over 20 times when i was 10. Loads of fun. If u find this game, BUY IT.
Rating: - The Pinnnacle
This game is the very pinnacle of the Syphon Filter Series. I highly recommend it to ANYONE who likes gun games or a real good story. This time around the script writers made it really difficult to predict the story. Buy this game, you wont regret it!
Rating: - Loved it and still do
If u want a good shoot em up game this is it. this was the first game i found that when u shoot a enemy is the HEAD or LEG the body armor doesnt stop the bullet. Great game and u can get it with some spare change aith amazons great pricing.
Rating: - hard,frustrating and super fun
this game is actually fun to play and the storyline is so great that they should make a movie out of this game.the game could get really frustrating specially when you play lian xing but once you have played through couple of stages you will get use to the sneking around and killing and i would recommend you to get a stradegy guide it makes the game lot less frustrating after you play through a couple of stages you would not want to put your controller down because you would want to find out what happens next if just they made the game a little less frustrating this would have been better than any action adventure game SOUND the sound of this game is awesome from the background music to the voice acting its great like when your trying to kill an enemy without letting him see you there is a slow paced music when you missed him and he saw you the music turn into fast paced. GAMEPLAY gameply is great the auto targeting really helps but could have more accurate graphics graphics are mediacore could have been better
this game is really great except for the few glitches but if you start getting into the game it is more fun and there is also a multiplayer mode and you could unlock area in multiplayer mode by finding items in one player mode. it would be a lot easier for you if you could get the first syphon filter so you would know more about the story and it is lot easier than the second one.
Rating: - Great Game
This game is great! I would give this game 5 stars, but I don't think any game is worth 5 stars. I couldn't believe they killed off two of the best characters, but over all the game wasn't bad, I want to get the third one. Get this game
