Syndicate Plus™

I loved this game way back when it came out. It was a lot of fun to shoot the cops or make them work for you to get the job done. One of the best time me and my brother loved was to get a lot of people to clump up and flame them and laugh as they all screamed and run around till they dropped dead. A MUST buy for anyone (old players or ones new to the game)

I still have fond memories of playing this back in the 90's, despite the fact I didn't know a lick of english. The music is well done and sets the mood and the enviroments you send your cybernetically enhanced agent are varied and allow for some tactical planning when it comes to certain challenging missions. Do you have what it takes to be a ruthless director set on killing off the other syndicates of the world and assume total world domination?

I start THE game and whoops one sit and half of earth is conquered. How this game still got hooked me??? I wanted try cheats, but not at this time. Thoose are an specific company names ;) and i think old players knows some of theese "companies"

If I remember correctly, I could call Syndicate a mix of first GTA and first X-Com games. You can steal vehicles, control up to 4 agents at once, control population mind, explode buildings, shoot people, etc. Also research new weapons and improve your cyborg agents; you have a world map and have to "conquer" territories (after finishing each mission). Its possible to increase speed, accuracy, awareness, etc using "drugs or speed ups", but they run out if used too much, like stamina. Basically a really good game, good atmosphere, music, sound effects. Use spies in a futuristic world. Its aged pretty well also. Without any doubt, a must buy.

Extensive reviewing isn't really needed, since everyone knows what they're getting here. Just a couple of things to point out - this seems to be missing the 'American Revolt' expansion, which will be a let-down for the hardcore fans. Also, while most of the game has aged well, one thing really irks me - your team say the same phrase every time you click the mouse. Every freakin' time. You'll be gnashing your teeth and cringing within 5 minutes. Turn the sound off and your sanity will return and there's much enjoyment to be had - moreso than in the sequel, which looks good at first glance but is ultimately let down by bizarrely incompetent design decisions.
