    This game is just fantastic. It has a brilliant storyline, a fabulous design and an awesome gameplay experience! This is a must have game in your psp. Undoubtedly the best third person shooter game in the psp. This game is definitley better than dark mirror. Logan's shadow is the best game syphon filter has made so far!

    This is definitely one of the best titles to grace the PSP. An almost perfect action/shooter game in every way. Some of the things I really liked: controls, graphics, sound effects, comical ragdoll physics, level design, and the overall presentation. Unfortunately, there were some negatives: uninspiring storyline, poor collision detection when using a sniper rifle (even though game uses This is definitely one of the best titles to grace the PSP.

Unfortunately, there were some negatives: uninspiring storyline, poor collision detection when using a sniper rifle (even though game uses Havok physics), the game does not take full advantage of what the physics engine is capable off; including some physics based puzzle elements would have been a big plus; almost a complete lack of interesting boss battles; the button mashing QTE sequences are pretty unnecessary or could've been replaced with some nice scripted cut-scene events; there should've been more levels where a player had to be stealthy to keep things more interesting and balanced. Other than those few issues, this is an easily recommendable game. Enjoy.… Expand

    One of the best games for the PSP. 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.

    This game is as good if not better then Dark Mirror. The button control is very accurate as is the weapon feel. Story is engrossing and is very enjoyable. I hope that Sony comes out with more games like this that work on the PSP.

More important is the gameplay. The campaign is lengthy and fun, and boasts great replayability. One can find themself replaying the campaign more than three times to boost their career stats and unlock bonus levels. The story is typical, though, as Logan finds himself fighting waves of enemies and encountering super model secret agents all en route to free his partner Lian Xing and her scientist husband. Besides the main campaign the game has some of the best online play availible in the PSP. Both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure are availible with up to eight players per match. Online has many levels and modes, including DM, TDM, CTF, and Rogue Agent (where the player tries to kill the rogue to become the rogue). All of these online modes can be played with different weapon sets(sniper being a favorite) which depend on the host's liking. The gameplay is tied together with a solid control scheme which works beautifully when coupled with the cover system. Given, aiming with the face buttons will take some getting used to, but is fine once mastered. This game as a whole is a complete package which deserves your time and money.… Expand

    I really don't have a lot to say about this game other than it's definitely a game you need to play if you own a PSP. The storyline was thrilling, except for the ending. It left on a cliff hanger. I wish Sony would hurry up and make a sequel to this game. I hate cliff hangers.

    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

    Patchy memory about this game but it was a nice addition to a beloved franchise of mine. Since I played this side by side with Dark Mirror, I couldn't tell which is which but I surely enjoyed playing.

    If you're a stealth-action fan who's still ignoring the Syphon Filter franchise, you're doing yourself a disservice. [Nov 2007, p.118]

    Syphon Filter manages to deliver a very enjoyable third-person shooting experience like few other PSP titles. I’m not a fan of using the face buttons for aiming, but this game’s pace – most scenarios revolve around advancing towards cover, eliminating the targets, then advancing again – is more suited to this configuration than more frantic action titles. I also like the new advanced grappling, stealth kill features, and brief God of War-style button mashing sequences.
