Customer Reviews

Dark Mirror
*This game has great graphics for the psp and the controls worked well (i didn't use the targeting). It is a long game compared to many other PSP titles.
*The levels were fun at first but then it got repetitive and none of the bosses were challenging until the last, and he was only challenging because i had a quarter of my health when i started the battle.
*The story was pretty good, but the end seemed rushed.
*My main problem was with weapons and the fact that a pistol could get a headshot from way further than its actual range.
*The AI is another problem. When an enemy comes out of cover and one shoots them, they go back into cover, then come back out in the same exact position. This eliminates the challenge since i was not using auto-aim (since it wasted too much ammo).
*I heard online for this game was amazing, but found that it pales in comparison to several of my other games.

Flagship game for the PSP
When Sony decided to go into the handheld gaming market, I think they wanted to appeal to the same demographic as their big brother console. And that means attracting a more mature audience. Nintendo tends to capture the "family" market, which isn't a bad thing.
I say this because if there's any game that truly defines and epitomizes what the PSP is all about, then Syphon Filter Dark Mirror is that game. This game represents all that the PSP is capable of. It is to bad that other developers have not pushed their resources for their games to be this good in so many ways. Everything from graphics, controls, to the all-important fun factor is on point with this title. The storyline is engaging, the levels are beautifully rendered, and the missions are diverse. You really do feel like the character you're controlling in the game, that's how good it is. I have read complaints about the boss characters not being so over-the-top like in other games. That doesn't matter so much to me, because as you go up against them, it still requires skill, patience, trial, and error to beat them. That's the challenge and the fun of any video game. If anyone gets a Sony PSP, then this is the first game they should buy.

One of the best shooters on PSP - Better than SOCOM 2
Syphon Filter is a great shooting game and it's mandatory for PSP owners to pick it up. The controls are great. Uses the analog stick to move. Uses the buttons to aim. Uses the D-Pad to take out items, jump, climb, crawl, and etc. It has a great online play. Up to 8 players in several maps. Best
of PSP's online play. You can play in several different modes and chat, but most of the time you will get paired up with someone too easy or too hard which is a problem. The graphics and sound are great. The gameplay is similar to James Bond, but better. You can use plenty of gadgets and shoot with plenty of weapons. There is training and muliplayer. The game is fun and it is definitely something that will last you.
