Syphon Filter 2 is the sequel to the previous year's Syphon Filter , adding new features such as a two player mode, new locations, new weapons, and more. The game compares to Goldeneye on the PlayStation.
The gameplay involves shooting but also requires strategy. You have a health meter, so it's not a "one shot and you're dead" type of game. You must complete missions or battle it out in a deathmatch with your friends or enemies.
Syphon Filter 2 is about preventing the sale of the Syphon Filter virus to a terrorist nation.
