Syndicate - Xbox 360

I have a teenager and he loves games. I bought this one as a surprise and he loves it.

The game is worth every $$$! And I´m glad my brother talked me into buying it! It offers stunning,highly detailed graphics which takes you into a dark world of the future where different organizations dominates the world! Combine the stunning graphics with : *Amazing physics and really interesting gameplay(Think Mirrors edge x 2) *A great storyline where you really feel involved in the all the things that´s happening *A completely new way of using different skills (you probably already know what I´m talking about) which really takes the game to another dimension as the environment becomes "alive" like never before. Just remember that it takes a while to learn :-) *A great arsenal of weapons that makes every cowboy satisfied as there is a gun for every taste(minigun guy myself) *A smart and tactical AI that IMO found to be very challenging on HARD(Been playing Counterstrike since i was a baby and I see myself as a quite skilled player). *And the ace of it all (which me and my brother together can vote for) is the awesome (but highly challenging) Coop-mode which brought me more fun than I've had in ages of playing video games. First of all it really brings "teamwork" into the picture,so forget all the divas and lone-wolfs who think they can beat the Coop campaign alone! I would like to compare it to the famous Counterstrike as the games are very similar in the way that you need your teammates and your teammates needs YOU! Your team has an objective on each mission and the AI is (as I've mentioned before) really tactical and is quite good in planning & coordinating defense and offense to stop you from achieving your goal. The AI use their numbers to attack you in different teams, highly outnumbered is the essence of why you and your friends need to work together as a tactical team using all the different classes unique skills and weapons (the best parts from Team fortress 2). So gather your friends for an Coop-Syndicate weekend and I promise you loads of fun like me and my brother had! See you in-game Syndicate brothers! Business is war, don't forget it ;-)

Back in 1993 Syndicate was a strategy game,but now is a first person shooter designed by Starbreeze Studios and published by EA.You play as a computer-enhanced agent named Miles Kilo in a world run by a mega-corporation.The graphics are really nice to look at,but you might get an eye strain and may obscure your vision during gameplay,because of the lighting effects.You are able to carry two weapons and grenades.The DART 6 bio-chip,let's you see enemies via X-ray vision and time is slowed down.You can also hack into enemies minds,called "breaching" where you can force the enemy to commit "Suicide","Persuade" where A.I. will turn against each other,and "Backfire" where enemy guns blow up and leave A.I. enemies stunned.You can also play four player co-op,the game does not use the online pass for co-op modes.Co-op takes place in segments,with resupply points where the next segment starts.After completion,you are promoted by XP points,which are awarded for kills,healing teammates,and completing objectives.The game does not have competitive multiplayer.But that's no reason not to give this game a shot.

I was a fan of the original Syndicate released by Bullfrog in the 90's. It was one of the first computer games I had ever purchase. When I found out that it was going to be revamped I was excited. However, when I found out that it was going to be a FPS I felt like it wasn't going to be the same game. Luckily, it ISN'T the same game and bringing this classic back as a FPS was the right move. One of the major complains is that it is a short game in regards to single player...I cannot argue that, but like the original, this game was intended to have 4 agents IE multiplayer. The game is not just run and gun, it requires tact and cooperation. Though, once you meet your level cap the Coop levels become VERY easy. I've been playing since release, and I still have much to do (achievement player). I still play on a daily basis and most importantly, still have fun with it! Keep in mind that there is no deathmatch in multi, but really, who wants more of the same? It's more akin to to Bioshock then Call of Duty. It's refreshing with an AMAZING soundtrack. I've recommended the game to several of my friends, and we still game together after a month of daily gaming!

The game was somewhat hard to learn as there where a lot of new things added that was completely new to me. The enemies where though and challenging to fight against, but as soon as I learned how to use the "chip" technology I found the enemies to be quite easy to beat and it was really fun to explore a new type of enviroment strategy. Roflmao, I thought I would never beat the first boss but as I progressed in using my abilities I really found out an easy way to beat him. I found that the campaign was somewhat short, but n the other hand I stepped up the difficult level which brought the levels to a completely more challenging and fun road to walk. And with the coop-mode that offers a lot of fun with your friends I give the game 4,9 out of 5 possible as it really rocks!
