It's hard not to be too critical of these PS1 games since it's an era of gaming that has not aged the best. Syphon Filter very much feels like a game from over twenty years ago. It doesn't give you much direction and it's easy to get lost because everything looks the same and the in-game maps are terrible. The controls are weird and simple moving can be aggravating. The story is dumb with some horrendous voice acting. All that said though, I didn't hate playing through it. I got bored and frustrated a few times but I was at least willing to play through. Third person shooting, or any shooting on a console, hasn't really been figured out by then but that aspect wasn't as bad as I was expecting even if the crosshair movement is very slow. It's at least worth a playthrough but I'm very happy to use the emulator rewind and save states offered on Playstation Plus Premium. I don't have the patience for old game checkpointing anymore.
