    This game is honestly fantastic. It has a story to keep you pulled in, tight controls, an amazing soundtrack (done by Skrillex, Nero, Flux Pavilion, and Digitalism), and unique abilities. I really don't know why EA chose to scrap any future installments, it's absolutely a must have

    Awesome game I don't see what everyone is complaining about. The only thing wrong with this is the short campaign and difficult boss fights other than that great game.

    The campaign is ok, but the multiplayer mode "Co-op" is brilliant. Once you tried, you cant stop. Force your friends to buy it and play it together, you won't regret it.

    I was surprised about how great this game really is! The single player is good, and I just love the coop. If you by some reason haven't decided to get the game, check out the demo that won me over.

I've only had time to play through the first few levels of the campaign and have had a great time with it. I would recommend it to those that perfer a more simplified and fun game. I mention this because Deus Ex was, IMO, a big old pain in the ass. ie a FPS with **** shooting, redundant hacking(i think you might have to hack to take a **** in the game) and the out of place and ridiculous boss battles. Syndicate seems to take all of this and simplify it with the Dart 6 chip implanted in your brain. There is hacking but with less complication and frustration, shooting that is solid, and the boss battles seem appropriate to the game play style. This game also has lots of style and colors which adds to that cyberpunk feel, which I have been longing for in a game for a while. Color is good. I never played the original game that this is based off(RTS)---I think this game still holds lots of strategy elements and levels can be played the way you want to play them, either upclose and person, or with strategic use of Dart6 and distance weapons. The real selling point, which I was sold on by the demo, was the co-op missions, 4 people doing missions together, helping each other out to heal, reboot, etc. The weapon upgrading system is quite in depth, or comparable to that of say BF3--though don't forget to queue up your weapon upgrades or skill upgrades--or else you are playin for nothing. Also there is a skill tree and ability upgrades that require tokens/experience points in order to upgrade. So fairly in depth. Also the bosses in coop need and require you to work together with your team--whether there is 1 or 4. I would recommend those people that enjoy games that require you to work together with people. Also there are about 12 coop missions now, but I have heard that the devs are planning to release more content on the 1st and 15th each month. The missions are located on a world map in the coop menus, and only a small portion of the map is filled in right now...my hope is that the missions keep stacking up to cover the world map. We'll see. Enjoy. It's definitely a fun FPS.… Expand

    Ignore these starbreeze employers, its a generic, simplistic shooter with no strategy or much story to speak of, not sure why they stole the syndicate brand as people who buy this wont know of it, and the ones who do will be pissed they made it into a dumb brainless shooter, utter crap!
    I'll give it a 1, they spelled syndicate right I guess.

It is now two months after release and no attempt seems to have been made to patch these issues. Syndicate graphics are below average and look very dated. But the guns and upgrade paths are good and the enemies present a nice challenge. Its a shame because this game is a Good co-op game but the bugs spoil it making it no fun to play i can not recommend Syndicate and i will be returning it for a refund.

    A fun, gun toting, cybernetic getting, head snapping adventure that is short but sweet. Has a less than compelling story made up for by immensely fun combat. Could have improved in the graphics and story categories. Has a fun co-op mode with a lengthy repeatability value.

    Great singleplayer and excellent co-op! Hands down the best FPS of the year so far.

    Starbreeze har done a solid job with this reboot, the campaign is on the short side but a lot of fun and on top of that they've created a unique and amazingly fun co-op experience.

Shallow characters with indecipherable motivations, alright but ultimately uninteresting story, and huge missed opportunities in gameplay. Using pseudo-quicktime events, you use hacking applications via an implanted biochip to manipulate both enemies and objects in the world. One early level features an operating room where you can hack the power supply of operating tables forcing them to retract thereby exposing the enemies hiding behind them. These moments are few and far between and sometimes scripted. There are only a few apps or powers to choose from throughout the story mode. Enemies are fairly generic but there are some challenges. Some enemies are invulnerable to damage until you hack their chip to lower their defenses. This makes timing and positioning hugely important. The game also features xray vision that also slows down time. Despite these cool powers and rare opportunities to interact with the environment in a meaningful way, the gameplay is standard fare FPS. Levels are cramped but the style is great. Most of that style is lost by the overdone bloom and outlandish lighting effects which sometimes impair the FPS gameplay. The co-op multiplayer is better than I expected but so few people are playing at this point. More powers to choose from than in singleplayer, working together is a must, and there's a good selection of challenging stock levels. Don't buy it for the story; buy it for the online co-op with friends.… Expand

I know it has some kind of "Don't touch" policy with the PC community but I would rather review the game based on it's own merits. Something tells me if this game was not a :Syndicate" reboot but just a new franchise it probably would of been more welcomed. Either way, it is a great game that has been under appreciated. Story- Same as Deus Ex and every other sci-fi shooter set in the future. You (Miles Kilo) work for a corporation called Eurocorp and you are not sure if you are working for the right folks. I am not a fan of revealing stories so let's just leave it at that. I will say the developers (Starbreeze) are known for their story telling in previous work like The Darkness and Riddick. Expect the same here. I will say the voice work is marvelous. Brian Cox is great, Rosario Dawson does good voice work as well. The best is probably Michael Wincott of The Crow, Aliens Resurrection, and Metro fame. Gameplay Is actually great and I was worried about this coming in. Starbreeze really struggled with The Darkness in this category and I could never get comfortable playing it. No problems here. They nailed the gameplay. The weapons in the game are the normal variety and most of them have secondary functions. You get the Machine guns, rifles of all varieties, and shotguns and pistols with very few standouts opening along the way. The few grenade types are standard as well. Again without to many spoilers the weapons are effective and you do get a few surprises. The standout weaponry here is the special powers you have. The DART inlay shows the different augmentations you have and you get a small practice area you are graded on when opening these up. Just a few are vision enhancements, a suicide augmentation that cause the enemy to turn the gun on themselves, and the standard mine jack where they turn on their fellow soldiers. Plenty of more and they are cool to use. Also- Getting these by digging into the boss characters you put away through the game is cool as well. Speaking of the boss fights are very well done. The first boss for example can only be killed be a certain weapon (No spoilers here....remember) and he gets help from fellow soldiers when you get the upper hand To make it harder for you he can teleport as well as split his body from one to four different individuals. There is also fights on top of a train against a military copter and that is all in the first hour of the 8 to 10 hour game. It is well paced however the challenge, even on normal is pretty high. There is a certain do it once to learn, and the do it again to succeed pace that can throw some people off. Also I got stuck in certain sections of the game because it was hard to tell where to go or where you were being ambushed from. Yet in certain big battles I flew through it. Not a deal breaker but it interrupts flow in a way. Presentation- This is EA. For all the hate they receive they know presentation. The menu's and voice acting is outstanding. Menu's are slick. Options are well done and laid out well. Graphics- I think the cyberpunk look is outstanding but it is probably a preferred taste. They love their whites such as buildings and walls. Think Mirror's Edge. The game also has a soft sheen to it and the lighting and bloom is the best I have seen in a game. The problem is it is way overdone. Some people will not like it. But it is unique to say the least. Another thing is everything gets read by your DART inlay. Small thinks like cans and pictures will have a little ad pop up above them. It is not uncommon to have 10 to 15 things lighting up with the white ad above it at one time while you are fighting 8 enemies at once. Not to mention the normal things onscreen like the life bars, ammo clips,ECT. It gets distracting at times but again, it is unique. The sound is great as well. Guns, the ambiance, the city streets all sound alive. Again, It is EA. The multiplayer is co-op only and is probably for the best because Starbreeze has not made a good multiplayer game yet. It is like the rest of the game, unique. It is also very team based and there will be problems finding three other players that will work with you and talk with you on how to beat the level. It is a big co-op experience but the difficulty setting is high. But it is worth it. You will get a sense of accomplishment beating a level and the teamwork aspect will make you appreciate the players skills and teamwork you beat a level with. A rare thing these days. EA took a chance with this game and sales or not, Starbreeze made yet another excellent title. I cannot stress enough how unique the game feels and even though the weapons and most augmentations have been seen before, it is done well here. A smart shooter worth picking up regardless of the absence of a Versus mode.… Expand

    Can't believe I'm saying this but.... This is the worst first-person shooter game I have ever played for the PS3.

(though you could probably still learn more from a website online) Cons - Everything else about the game!!! - Horribly    Can't believe I'm saying this but.... This is the worst first-person shooter game I have ever played for the PS3.

    Pros
    - The Sci-fi futuristic time-zone consisting of androids and cybernetics.
    - Detailed lore, and multiple files for you to browse around. (though you could probably still learn more from a website online)

    Cons
    - Everything else about the game!!!
    - Horribly programmed enemy AI's that run out in the open 90% of the time instead of looking for cover.
    - You battle the same ****ing generic soldiers over and over again, with little to no variation.
    - Invisible walls, sometimes completely interfering with your gunfire.
    - So generic for a first-person shooter that it's boring.
    - The linear design of it is so painful that it hurts. You see all these doors you can never open because the game drills you to go one direction every single time.
    - Terrible graphics. If you have an HD television, go into the in-game options menu and turn the gamma all way down to 0, or else prepare to be blind from the lighting. And adjusting the brightness doesn't fix the problem.
    - No memorable tunes in the entire soundtrack, and none that stand out.
    - The controls are absolutely garbage. On the first mission, I constantly found myself going in the options menu adjusting the X and Y axis , but could never get a good balance on it. In the end, I had to rely on the aim assist to do most of the work.
    - Copy/Pasted NPCs
    - Unskippable cut-scenes.
    - Non-Hostile NPCs that perform extremely puzzling and predictable actions. Whether it's run for the exit and despawn, or curling up in a ball with fear, they do the same f***ing action every single time. (You have to play this game to understand why this is part of the criticism)
    - Hilarious and sometimes frustrating bugs, like when grenades you send back don't explode.
    - The "Suicide" and "Persuade" features are broken, and may completely stop working during your playthrough!
    - The single player campaign is only 2 hours long.... 2 ****ing hours!?!
    - Electronic Arts has been creating video games since the early 1990s, and have the reputation for delivering a good game when they put their minds to it. So why did they bring us this **** in 2012!?! Nothing about this game is original, and that's the worst part of it all!

    Syndicate's story fails to grip. You won't give a care in the world about any of the characters, or what is going on for that matter. And when adding it's repetitive and hideous looking gameplay on top, it rounds itself out to be a truly revolting experience. The online multiplayer is dead, and it should stay that way, because after getting done the single player campaign, you will want to meditate in hopes of cleansing this grime from your mind.

    Let this warning stand for all you morbid buyers and Syndicate fanboys to run away, run while you're still alive. The verdict for this Mindjack game wannabe is a 2 out of 10! The only reason it escapes the 1 is because the game isn't overly buggy, broken, and crashing every 5 minutes. But it just sucks because it had a cool sci-fi theme and element to it. But even that manages to screw itself through it's below average voice acting and often feel burdened with the rest of the gameplay.. Not once did I ever have fun playing from the moment I saw it's blurry main menu, to the moment the disc got ejected from my PS3. Do not buy this game! It is a mistake that will come back to haunt you!    … Expand

I actually thought this game was a lot of fun and really well made. It has these applications you can use to influence the actions of the enemies which makes the game stand out and keeps it from getting generic. Combining your moves works together really well and creates a very satisfying experience. Often times games will throw a bunch of mechanics at you that never really mesh together and this wasn't the case. It has a feature that's a bit like a combination of the drug in Haze and the slowdown effect in Timeshift. However this just felt better. Timing it out to perfectly use with your other abilities was a much more satisfying experience that actually made you use some brain power. It wasn't simply activate power, shoot everyone, move through level. It allowed some creative freedom which kept the gameplay fresh throughout.

    I thought the shooting felt clunky at first but after a level or two you really get the hang of it. By the end I felt the shooting felt great. The guns have a real weight to them and the sound design is on point. The guns are a blast to use, notably the mini gun, guass rifle, and laser cannon that I forget the name of. The tone of the game is very dark with plenty of suicide, executions, and civilians being murdered in cold blood which contrasts the bright, cyberpunk aesthetic of this particular dystopia. I thought the world was very cool and reminded me a lot of things like Bladerunner or The Fifth Element. However, the more I played it the more it reminded me of every other sci fi movie ever and started to feel a bit generic. The story is a bit paper thin with the lore of the world being fleshed out through collectibles. The game features the likeness and voice acting of Rosario Dawson and Brian Cox who are both great in this. I feel like the graphics, notably the character designs, hold up really well and probably are a bit better than par for it's time. The textures of the environments like the floors and walls were the only thing that were noticeably bad.

    The game is rather short and I finished it in two sessions. I might have played it for a total of 7 hours. I have no complaints with the gameplay but a longer maybe more challenging experience would have been a bit more satisfying. I played it on the hardest difficulty and there was only one boss section at the very end that ever gave me any real difficulties. Overall I thought this game had a great feel to it, the gunplay was fun, it's gimmicks and mechanics never got old, and I liked the world and lore. I just wish there was more of it. Perhaps the online experience would bump this game up a bit but I'm not sure if it even still exists and I'm not going to bother with in in 2020. I'm sure it's dead. Syndicate is a solid game that deserved more recognition.    … Expand

    Right from the start, you feel like a demigod, dispatching enemies with ease thanks to an overpowered arsenal and a whole bunch of 'breaching' powers that let you slow time, enhance damage and decrease ouchies from incoming bullets. [April 2012, p65]

    No classic, but it's still easily one of the year's stronger shooters so far. [Issue#216, p.74]

    Awful bosses, poor story, and unimaginative level design bury sexy guns and good looks. [Apr 2012, p.92]
