ABOUT SYPHON FILTER
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Syphon Filter drops you into the shoes of Gabriel Logan, a tough-guy
counter-terrorism specialist assigned to prevent a biological terrorist
attack from happening in the States. To accomplish this, you'll have to
complete numerous missions, each with it's own objectives for you to
complete. While progressing through each mission, voice-overs & letter
boxed real-time cinemas move the plot along.

*******************
HOW'S IT PLAYED ?
*******************
The gameplay is presented in the 3rd person view mode during most of the
action which the camera follows Gabe as you steer him around the
levels. Levels are huge and also quite immerse. Some of the objectives
which you'll need to complete, requires you to run around(using the
torch light if it's dark) and keep your eyes peeled for things in which
you must take or trigger in order to complete.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STAYING ALIVE
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Staying alive is a major problem when you've only a FLAK Jacket on,
been the only agent who can stop the terrorists & running around trying
to save the day when your name is all over the terrorist's ammunition.
There are a few ways in which you could stay alive.
(1) Never stand around a place where gasoline tanks, grenades, cars
and other things which can blow up.
(2) Always wait for the elevator to arrive at where you're instead of
just jumping down like u'r James Bond or somebody.
(3) Never let any hostile personals a chance to live. Fire b-4 they
do 7 shoot them in their head.
(4) Don't use explosive things near a time bomb or you'll be blown
away.
(5) Grab any ammunition or Flak Jackets as much as you can.(If your
quantity for that object is not max out.)

SOME INTERESTING THINGS

Auto-Lock
This will let you to home on into the nearest enemy. Press & hold R1 to
check out whether there's any enemies within the area you're in.
Prone Position/ Kneeling
By kneeling, your accuracy of aiming is much greater. Use this steady
your shot against enemies far off.
Flak Jacket Enemies
Always aim for a head shot when you see the Flak jacket word appear on
the enemy. This works 100% every time if you want a quick kill.
Head Pop
Whilst holding view button, press & hold either L2 or R2 to peek out of
where you are. This comes in handy when you need to snipe a goon
silently & safely.

Washington DC: Georgia Street/ Level 1

Run to the firefight scene which is just right of the screen. Take out
the hostile terrorist & hang right to get the M-16, the very weapon
which I love to use due to its rapid fire. Proceed into the Bar which
is just left of you. Enter the short hallway just beside the pool
table. Along the corner of a crate is a terrorist hiding. Take him out
& grab some M-16 ammunition. From there continue along the hallway
until you reach the main bar. There you will find Kravitch trying to
hide behind the bar table. As he also have a FLAK Jacket on just like
you, shoot him in his head to take him out fast. After he's dead, go to
the bar where Kravitch was a press the action button to grab the
shotgun from the case. Proceed to your right to the top left corner of
this room. The comm. Array is right on the table, destroy it & 3 more
goons will pop up in the entrance of this room to settle scores with
you. Without much hesitation, these 3 would be dead soon & you can
claim some M-16 ammo from them.

Exit through where you enter from & proceed to the next destination,
the Subway. The right hand side of the subway entrance, which is pitch
dark contains a Flak Jacket. Use your torch light to find it or you can
do what I do, run along the pitch dark walls & keep pressing the action
button. Done with all the exploring, proceed to the gate entrance into
the subway. You will find out that it's lock & you'll contact Lian-
Xing(Sounds like "lee-an" when Gabe says it) After the conversation,
exit out of this place & prepare to bust 2 more terrorist's ass whilst
outside. Remember the terrorist whom was hiding among some crates &
which you climb in to claim some M-16 ammo from, that's where you'll be
going next. When you're in the room which you're supposed to be fire a
shot against the window or you can just climb on to it & it will just
shatter(huh?? What the !@#$) Once out of the window into the alley,
you'll contact Lian again & she'll tell you `bout the CBDC bomb squad
over the vacant bank just south of here in which you'll need to help
out. Never mind that for a while. If you look around, you'll find a
locked gate to yer right & an exit out of this alley to yer left. Go
over to the  locked gate & use your gun to shoot open the lock, proceed
over to the elevator call switch which is just in front of you. Press
it using the action button & wait for the elevator to come out. Stand
on the elevator & press action again to make the elevator bring you
down to the lower level. Onward the underground Gabe will contact Lian
again. The switch to open the door in the subway is in here. Use your
torch to locate it(on your right) & switch it off. Exit out & spray a
few bullets into the terrorist whose on the top, trying to shoot you
down. Collect his leftover ammo & proceed right out of this alley. Upon
exiting, you'll hear gunshots. Climb over the blue crate into the
shooting zone. There's a Flak Jacket & a Sniper Rifle. Don't try to
waste ammo on the hostile as they can't be totally wiped out. Enter
back thru the bar as you backtrack. There'll be a goon waiting for you.
Take care of him & hop on to yer next destination, Vacant Bank.

If you're observant, you'll remember that there's an alley right from
where you started the game from. That's where you'll go thru to get to
the bank. Try to stay far away from the police car parked among the
exit of the alley. It may blow off anytime if yer trapped within a
crossfire near it. Shoot down those pesky baddies on top of the roof
tops & go into the bank where you'll be needed as assistance. There'll
be 2 goons guarding & a CBDC to help out. Join him in the bullet-spray
& follow him into the bank. Be careful of the gasoline tanks outside
the bank( how in the hell did those end up here?) if they explode &
you're along the explosion radius you'll be blasted dead. While
entering the bank & leading to the area where the help is needed, there
is a Flak Jacket crate. When you reach the bomb specialist , protect
him at all cost from the pesky terrorists. Your objective will be
completed when all hostile attacks are off. There is not only one route
in this area. There's another one to your right from where you entered.
There's a M-16 crate & a Grenade crate hidden among the shadows. Get
them & move out. While out of the bank you'll meet more hostile attacks
from the rooftops. Run past those as fast as you can while avoiding
their fire. Return back to the subway scene.

The door into the subway will be opened. Upon entering, Gabe contacts
Lian again. If yer using a Dual Shockr controller, it will vibrate when
a train comes along the station. Proceed down to the 1st lower section
of the subway. 6 goons will be waiting for you when you enter. There's
a M-16 crate among the right hand corner. While running along the left
side of this floor you'll notice that there's a blinking square in your
radar. Look around & you'll see the bomb in which you'll need to place
a beacon (press action while near bomb) The bomb specialist will come
again to dispose of the bomb. After that, return to the floor opposite
of the bomb site & proceed to the end. There'll be 6 goons among the
exit. When Gabe enters the 2nd lower floor, he contacts Lian. Stop going
down as the door here will be locked. Go back up & hook left, there
you'll see another exit. Go across there. While entering, there'll be 2
routes for you to choose. Use your torch & choose  the left one. You'll
locate the switch on the wall, press it & go down the elevator.
You'll enter yet another room, a red one. Go straight & turn left,
there's a goon guarding the doorway. Stick a bullet into his head to
end his pathetic life.  Climb onto the floor opposite of where you're
and proceed all the way to the other end while taking out any hostile
attacks in which you encounter. You'll meet up with a guard & a time
bomb. Shoot the guard in his sorry head to end his life & sit back to
watch some scenes. You'll be given the option to save after the scene.(
finally..a save at last! )

Washington DC: Destroyed Subway/ Level 2

From where you start, hook right to get the FLAK if you need it. Run
carefully between the flames to the other side. Turn left from here. If
you proceed any further, you will meet up with a goon engulfed in
flames, stand a clear distance away from him until the fire clears
down. Proceed forward to fend off 2 or 3 more goons. There will be a
stranded train from where you are. Search along the train to find a
small hole enuff for you to contact Lian in order to obtain another
obj. After that proceed to the other side of where the train is, face
Gabe against the train, press action to make Gabe pull up onto the
train. Run along the train & prepare to kick some more goon's ass. This
time it's 3 more gunners & a pesky Grenadier among the flames. After
they're dead, search among the tracks from where you dropped down to
find the C-4.Use torch light to find it.)  Head left then right to find
a fallen vending machine. There's another goon on top, kill him off
first before proceeding up. After your on  the upper level, run forward
a bit to contact Lian again. While running you will find a blinking
square at one of the sides of the tracks. It's a left over bomb that
has not detonate yet. But to premature handling, it will! Keep on going
front to see a doorway that was blocked by derbis after the explosion.
The doorway will state " Need Explosives". Remember the C-4  that you
got earlier,  equip it to use it. After implanting it, get Gabe's damn
ass out of the area. You will only have 4 seconds to do so. After the
doorway's reopened, a CDBC bomb disposer agent will come running down.
Follow him & protect him like GOD. After hostile attack has died down
proceed to left of where the once blocked doorway was to contact Lian
again to get new obj.  The gas valve has raptured & you need to close
the main gas valves to get into another area to chase Rhoemer. The Gas
main is located to the left of where you entered this area. Use your
torch to find it. After turning it off, proceed to where the blockage
was & go in. Cross over the stranded trains & kill 2 more goons. One
will be running out from one corner of a train while engulfed in
flames. You may try to use the taser to keep him a distance away from
you. The other goon will be situated on top of where you meet up with
the first one. Keep continuing down. You will stop in the end, watch
some more scenes & be  prompt to save your progress.

Washington DC: Main Subway Line/ Level 3

Your main objective here is to capture Aramov. There will be a Flak
Jacket case laying around where you start off. Get it if you need it.
Beware of the passing trains in here, they'll be whizzing by,
alternating from left to right. Try to stay on the correct side of the
track of you will be knocked down by one of the passing trains. Copycat
Aramov's way of maneuver, it's the best way to detect where the trains
coming. Or if your using a Dual Shockr controller, try using what you
sense on your controller for some fun. Keep following Aramov while
dodging her shots, ignore the goons up front as they'll only slow you
down. There'll be one part when Aramov would stood low to get to the
other side of the track. When there's a train coming along that track,
she'll be trapped. Just roll into where she is & shoot her right in her
damn head. Same as usual, you'll prompt to save again. Sit back & watch
some scenes again. This time you'll be in Washington park.

End..To be continued!
