I remember being very hyped for this game in some of my video game mags. Syphon Filter did not disappoint. It's visuals may be dated and it's controls may take some getting used to but playing it now I remember why I liked it so much back in the day. I admit it's probably mainly nostalgia but I had a rollercoaster of emotions playing it again.

One: That tazer is still so satisfying and it's a pretty unquiet hand to hand weapon. Wait did I say hand to hand? Cause that shit can shoot out a mile away and burn guys to a crisp. Awesome.

Two: Enemies either have storm trooper aim or 360 no scope you. No middle ground.

Three: The stealth sections are better than I thought they would be and the snow base level is great trying not to raise an alarm. If this came out this year their would definitely be a trophy for not causing an alarm on that stage.

Four: Holy Shit that caves stage at the end it the most frustratingly cheap shit ever. I don't remember it being that bad, but I was gonna throw my controller at the TV at one point. It's completely dark and all you have is a sniper with night vision and navigating this cave and switching to the flashlight to see is impossible without getting shot at as they instantly see you. You can't fight with the light on but you can't see with the gun. What the hell.
