In a story that takes him from the depths of the Indian Ocean to the deserts of the Middle East, Gabe is faced with the possibility that his long time partner, Lian Xing is a double agent. Logan's Shadow is complete with a variety of combat mechanics including the ability to force enemies into cover with "blind-fire", an advanced melee system that allows Gabe to use enemies as human shields, and 360 degree underwater combat. For the first time in the franchise "interactive moments" have been added for increased player interaction, such as airlifting debris and escaping wrist restraints. Returning to the franchise are buddy missions which have been enhanced with a variety of new objectives. [SCEA]… Expand

    Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow neither looks nor plays like your typical “handheld” game, and it seriously pushes the limits of what the PSP and portable games in general can achieve. Hell, you’re lucky to find a console game so well put together overall.

    This well-rounded, gorgeous game delivers on all fronts with scarcely a problem in sight. With superb and precise controls, Logan's Shadow provides gamers with an intriguing story, a variety of environments and all the tactical gunplay they can handle.

    Once again, it’s apparent that Syphon Filter and the PSP were made for each other. While the game isn’t without its issues, it’s still a solid action title that actually feels at home on the handheld. Action fans with a PSP should consider this a must-have.

    Visually this is one of the best games on the PlayStation Portable - easily comparable to PlayStation 2 quality from the cut scenes to the in game models; and it plays well too.

    With a ten to fifteen-hour playtime, hidden unlockables to look for in every level, and fleshed-out online mode, Logan's Shadow is one of the PSP's best games to date. [Nov 2007, p.57]

    As efficiently and proficiently designed as Logan’s Shadow is, it’s unavoidably tied to the problems associated with action games of this type on PSP. [Feb 2008, p.96]

Reminds me a lot of the first Metal Gear Solid in that you can use stealth and force. Great graphics and gameplay. The underwater levels are incredible. With over 20 levels, this game lasts as well. Add the fun multiplayer (which is shockingly good) and you have the game of the year for the PSP. Truly cinematic gaming on the go.… Expand

    Logan Shadows a diferencia de Dark Mirror implementa mecanicas que te permiten jugar con mas libertad a la hora de apuntar y disparar, mismas que se sienten muy bien implementadas en todo momento, volviendo de esta maravillosa saga una gran experiencia jugabilistica en nuestra PSP.

    La historia no es una de las mejores pero sin lugar a dudas te mantendras siempre al borde de tu asiento mientras completas las distintas misiones en los variados y diferentes escenarios que te ofrece este increible titulo para la PSP.

    El diseño de escenarios es sublime, los actores de doblaje, feedback de sonido, los Menus y HUD y las muy bien implementadas mecanicas de juego hacen de Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow un Must-Play si tienes una PSP.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely flawless game. The soundtrack is too good, providing an often ominous tone and sense of urgency to the story. It is also a massive nostalgia factor.
    The game plays very smoothly on the PSP, at which seemed like 60 FPS at the time. For the gameplay, I've seen many people run around without taking cover but the real way of playing this game is going behind cover and headshotting everyone, which is very fun.
    I'm very sad that they killed Logan because the series sold less than expected and they didn't want to keep working on it. It's also a damn shame this game is barely present in the gaming space. You probably only know about it if you somehow happened to have it.    … Expand
