Syphon Filter 2

"The dialog and cutscenes are notably adult in tone, and this really plays out like a big-budget action movie (sometimes to ridiculous extremes -- we lost count of the number of cutscenes that end with a shot of Gabe jumping away from something exploding in slow motion)."

"Syphon Filter 2 picks up immediately after the first game left off, both in story and in execution. While some features have been added, the resulting game feels more like a hastily-produced mission pack than a true sequel."

"If you get fed up with the acting or going over the same territory again and again, you can grab a friend for some lethal hide-'n'-seek in the two-player game. The only dialogue in that mode comes from you and your buddy. Boo-ya!"

"Perhaps the biggest letdown with Syphon Filter 2 is there are fewer moments of greatness. With a few exceptions, most of the gameplay is entirely familiar, and not only familiar, but simplistic."

"Well, ladies and gentleman, the Syphon Filter 2 has finally arrived! And my depression has been cured! And when you read the following review, you'll know why."
