The controls work great, the story is engaging and the AI is competent. I bought this at a bargain low of $10, brand new. I haven't been able to get the multiplayer to work, but maybe that's because the game is so old, not many people are playing it now. This game is awesome. Even though it's over 3 years old, it's still a lot of fun. I finished it in about a week and there's still tons of replay value.
I never got my game because the seller made a postal error so the post office sent it back, and Amazon had to give me a full refund because for some reason the post office had to send it back and I would like to know why.
A lot of shooters for PSP have controls that aren't very good in my opinion, but this one is really easy to pick up and learn quickly. Fun game to play and it saves frequently, so you can easily pick it up and play for 15 minutes and not have to start over the next time you want to play. I really enjoy this game. Graphics are pretty good.
So now let's flash forward to more recent times. What I look forward to most is seeing Syphon Filter in high definition (on the PS3). The online servers for that game are no longer running. Overall, I would pick this as my favorite PSP game and one of my favorites of all time.
I haven't played the next installment (Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow - also for the PSP) but I own it. Syphon Filter was my favorite game for the original Playstation and there are many who feel as strong about that game. My only complaint about this game was that there is some strong language which was not necessary for the experience. Towards the end of the development of the game it was decided to include the normal single player experience which was good but not as fun as the first 3 Syphon Filter games. If you have a PSP and you don't have this you are missing out. Syphon Filter 2 and 3 came out later for that system and they were also both great games. I never really got into the online multiplayer features but I did try it a few times and that was where Omega Strain was at its best. Dark Mirror continued the Syphon Filter franchise (on the Playstation Portable) and made it even better.
This is my opinion and it is an issue in many games today. Dark Mirror is flat out amazing. Next came Syphon Filter The Omega Strain (for the Playstation 2) which had been originally designed as a multiplayer online game only. The single player missions are excellent and the multiplayer features are also top notch.
Definitely one of the best games available for the PSP. Resisitance Retribution is also fantastic game so make you check that one out if you like shooting games.
