Preview: 'Syphon Filter 3' for PlayStation
By Air Hendrix (IDG) -- The PlayStation's top commando is almost geared up for one final mission, and "Syphon Filter 3" is primed to deliver more of the covert-ops combat that made the series so popular. The game will follow Gabe, Lian, and company as they face Senate hearings for their past operations. While they squabble with senators, you'll play through those actual "historical" missions, which range from assassinations to rescuing mine workers to tracking down components of the virus. A preview version definitely played more like an add-on level pack than an entirely new game -- "Syphon" pros will instantly feel at home with the controls and objectives. Sony is tuning the gameplay to involve less stealth and more mayhem, which will give the proceedings a more frenzied feel.
The story line will jump around, so there will be welcome variety in levels and playable characters, and the new mini-games will be an interesting diversion. As long as development stays on track, "Syphon 3" looks like another sure-fire smash hit. Publisher: Sony Developer: Eidetic Release date: September 2001 No. of players: 1 |
