Game Description
Syphon Filter [Greatest Hits] launched a new era of tactical espionage action on the PlayStation 1, introducing players to Gabe Logan—an elite operative racing against time to stop the spread of a deadly bioweapon. As a covert agent for a shadowy government agency, Logan infiltrates embassies, scales rooftops, and stalks enemy compounds in a gripping globe-spanning narrative that blends stealth, high-tech gadgetry, and explosive gunplay.
With its pulse-pounding missions, atmospheric settings, and an iconic taser that could light up enemies like a Christmas tree, Syphon Filter became a genre-defining hit. This Greatest Hits edition marks its legacy as a PlayStation essential—equal parts spy thriller and third-person shooter, crafted for gamers who crave stealth with a side of firepower.
Gameplay Features
- Dynamic stealth-action gameplay with mission objectives that vary from sabotage to rescues
- A versatile arsenal including the M-16, night vision goggles, and the infamous long-range taser
- Immersive, story-driven campaign spanning urban streets, snowy rooftops, and high-security facilities
- Third-person perspective with lock-on targeting and smart AI that reacts to player tactics
- Interactive environments and cinematic sequences that heighten suspense and storytelling
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Syphon Filter was developed by Eidetic—later renamed Bend Studio—who would go on to create the PlayStation 4 hit Days Gone. The game’s success helped cement 989 Studios as a major Sony label and introduced one of the most enduring stealth-action franchises of the late '90s. Notably, the game's electrifying taser gained meme-worthy fame for its ability to ignite enemies mid-scream, becoming a cult favorite mechanic for fans.
