    This game is fun. And I'm too poor to buy a ps2 so im glad this was game was made. Sure sometimes the graphics aren't good and the baddies are too easy but it is fun fun fun . Especially in deathmatch all this game needed were some sims that you can add and a weapon menu to lock and unlock weapons for the deathmatch.

    This was an amazing game as well as the other syphonfilter entries.With easy controls, an intriguing story, nice characters, amazing soundtracks and well done voice performances.

    Well, at times this game is really fun and quite difficult too. The gameplay is nice, but no bothering about some innovation aie?! The best of the series, but not the best around.

    Syphon Filter 3 es un juegazo. No puedo entender como es que lograron hacer algo tan divertido para la época. Ojalá sacaran una versión remasterizada...

    I miss this series so much because it was so unique & varied. One of the best games of all time. The characters were phenomenal, the story was remarkable I love it so much, hopefully it'll be back in 1 day.

    Los gráficos son acordes a los de un juego de finales de la era de PS1, la banda sonora es buena, la jugabilidad sigue siendo la misma como eso de correr mientras apuntas y disparas y falto mas acción y la historia hace énfasis mas en la políticas de Estados Unidos y menos en el virus. Buen juego para despedir a la PS1

    As a kid playing this, story didn't matter only the gameplay and it was good. Compelling enough to finish the game.

    The graphics may be dated, but it's still an amazing game. [Dec 2001, p.111]

    Despite a high level of difficulty, the game is proof positive that the original PlayStation still has plenty of life left within.

    The story is as good as ever and backed by some of the best sound of any PSone game and a smattering of smooth FMV scenes the atmosphere is bang up there with the best.
