Nice. The more it's like the old games the better.

Was the Darkness 2 banned in Australia?

Nope.....don't know how that managed to slip through and this one gets refused.

Yeah, I'm playing The Darkness 2 and it's pretty crazy. There's sex, extreme violence and swearing.

I can't see Syndicate being worst.

Besides games getting banned here alot of things cost alot more here its just ridiculous.

Has anybody played this game?

I finished it today. I found it quite enjoyable. It's strange but both Syndicate and The Darkness 2 share similarities. Both are linear, story driven shooters with the tendency to stay in the FPS view throughout the whole game (aside from a few instances) and both have great gunplay. I like Syndicate better because I like the setting/atmosphere better as well as the guns but both are good games.

They also share a somewhat added twist when it comes to shooting people. You control two tentacles in The Darkness while Syndicate allows you to breach enemies chips (basically hacking) to do cool things. For instance, you can get attacked by a group of peeps, breach one guy and turn into a suicide bomber, then breach another guy to persuade him to start shooting his friends. Lastly, you can breach their guns to backfire, sending them falling down and you rush up and break their necks. It's pretty damn cool.

I'm going to be getting it, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Glad to see it getting positive mentions.

Hi all! New here. BIG video game fan. Playing Syndicate on the PS3. It's nice but I think needs quite a few improvements. Been playing it for a few days now. The coop play is the most fun aspect of the game but I hate how you can't seem to be able to get new weapons other than the standard shotgun-sniper-rifle-assault rifle-smg set that you start with. 🙁 That and the freakin coop play is much too easy even on hard... >_<

Obviously not me

but i've seen some of the review scores its all over the place 5/5, 7.5, 8.2

i think i may have seen a 5/10.

I'd say 7/10 from what I've played so far.

Yeah, some people love it, some people don't.

I think it's a solid 8.

All the weapons handle really well, they sound excellent and have good second fire types. The game meant to be a realistic as possible so your not going to get Resistance type weapons.

Syndicate was rushed out incomplete, IMO. It's still ridden with irreconcilable bugs (occasionally getting stuck in place in a middle of a mission kinda sux balls) and coulda been SUCH a great game if they simply stuck to the formula (fun strategic management of resources/tech) on what made the original Syndicate great. Instead, they catered it to the least common denominator (pure FPS fans who would hate to have to micromanage before getting out and shooting stuff). This game woulda been great with just a few more months of development. The way it is now, I can't make myself give it anything more than a 7/10. Easily had the potential to be a 9/10 or 10/10, tho... /sad
