Review - Syndicate


I'd like to start this review by saying I was initially disappointed by the snes version of Syndicate. I'm a huge fan of the pc series so I expected a lot. But after the first couple of missions I got the hang of it and really enjoyed what this version has to offer. So equip your cyborgs with the latest weapons and technology and prepare for world conquest!

Graphics: (6/10) The designers totally revamped the in-game graphics but did them in the same style as the original Syndicate. This mean gritty above views and limited visibility when your agents are in buildings. The biggest change I noticed was that your view is much closer so you can really see what your agents are doing. Use the mini map when things get confusing.

Sound: (4/10) Syndicate was never really big in the sound department. All you really notice is the music and the gunshots. Kinda cool. The music gets excited whenever they're a lot of action.

Fun: (7/10) Please remember this is not really an action game. It's actually kinda difficult to do simple things, like switching weapons and shooting. Half the fun comes from upgrading your cyborgs, researching weaponry, acquiring new agents, and imposing your will apon large groups of people. There's also the great feeling you get when you see your agents standing around acting as cool as ever with bodies and shrapnel all about.

Creativity: (8/10) Syndicate is very original. I'm sure this snes port was difficult and risky. But I'm glad the designers did it. Now we can all use corruption, murder, and intimidation to achieve global conquests. Hooray!

Multi-Player: Sorry folks.

Tips and Cheats: If you really get into this game Game Winners offers some great strategy advice for every mission in the game, as well as the regular cheats ect...

Errors: It works great.
