"Not just another stock FPS in an over-saturated genre"
4 stars"

This game exceeded my expectations. When I first heard about the Syndicate reboot being an FPS (and saw the fairly lacklustre trailer), I thought it was a bit of a waste of a fantastic franchise.

I bought this recently, after some big price drops, and I was impressed at how much better the game was than I thought it would be, and how much more original it was. The single-player campaign isn't wildly original, but there are enough unique gameplay features and creative weapons that it feels like Syndicate has something fresh to offer a very over-saturated genre.

I think a main selling point is the large number of co-op levels. The mission-based co-op gameplay is unlike what anyone else is doing (it's more objective-based than Uncharted or Call Of Duty's co-op modes), and it's a refreshing way to play an FPS. The co-op has more in common with the original game, since you're generally operating in a squad of 4 with a set objective.

The game keeps enough links to the original that you feel like it's set in the same universe, involving the same companies, but is modernized enough that it doesn't seem dated. Overall, this game didn't quite get the credit it deserved; it's not just another stock shooter.

"Great, but buggy"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The game itself is great, seriously great. It reminded me of deus ex and other ones, but with less rpg and just far more shooting. As well with pretty much no free will. The way is set and one can't really influence it. But it's alright, Graphics are brilliant, story good, gameplay great. Sometimes one doesn't need a free world etc. BUT one mayor thing. I haven't seen so many bugs in a game since a long time. One mayor one still hasn't been really fixed and the game crashes on PS3 and one has to restart just to crash it again at the same spot. Still waiting for a fix on that. It is a mayor game breaking bug and there are many more less bad ones, but still 2/5 otherwise it would have been a 5/5

"Great game, Awesome Co-op, Sick Sound Track."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Awesome Soundtrack with artists such as Skrillex Flux Pavilion and more, Co-op is spot on involving Team Work and other aspects that the ME3 Multi player Demo has not yet indicated.

Reviews

“…Come to it for the thrills of joining a team and mowing down gunners like so many weeds in a Colorado research facility. Come to it for a chilly vision of the future, where the minds of meddlers can be altered with a simple computer program. There are numerous games better at providing single-player satisfaction, however, and this is where Syndicate falters. While it isn't entirely successful, the campaign still dares to be different. And while "different” isn't the same as “great,” Syndicate reminds you that with a bit of creative effort, shooters don't have to play by Modern Warfare rules to be truly modern." 7.5/10 – Gamespot

Syndicate is a really cool game that shines through its great co-op modes. The singleplayer is great, but the multiplayer is where its at. Beware for an action overdose.” 8.5/10 XGN

“Right from the start, you feel like a demigod, dispatching enemies with ease thanks to an overpowered arsenal and a whole bunch of ‘breaching’ powers that let you slow time, enhance damage and decrease ouchies from incoming bullets.” 9/10 Playstation Official Mag Aus

“A solid shooter with relatively interesting unique features, Syndicate's co-op outshines the otherwise lackluster single-player campaign.” 7.5/10 Playstation Universe
