Syndicate Wars™

...Not the original. Syndacate wars is basically a bigger version of the first installment, with new graphics, weapons and a story that continue the one from the expansion, giving extra dystopian vibes to this already astonishing game. However... the game is also... well, it is repetitive. Simple as that. It's not even boring. Just repetitive. the mission given propose just a bunch of objective that, in the long run, starts to blur, to the point that the game becomes a little stale. Still, totally worth playing, even more discounted!

i will never forget the day i bought this game....i was 15 and i found this game in the store among the cheap games section (for unknow reason). i pulled out the box and paid for the game thinking to myself what a good trade off for such game (around 15 dollars this days). i will never forget the fun i had with this game and it still give me the creeps to think about the glorious days i had with this game ! fast action with tons of destruction around made me feel sorry for the poor innocent civialians who got caught it the middle of the battles:) one of the best music and atmosphere ive seen in a game! easily earned the title " a masterpiece" in my opinion . im playing this days in the original syndicate because i want to play it from the start to the finish line and see what it has to offer (and when i say this days i mean to january 2017) and i can say i enjoy it BUT its way easier than syndicate wars and much slower so in general i can say that syndicate wars much better in every aspect of the game the only thing i would love to see in syndicate wars is a better resolution :) other than that im ready to play it again and again!

Great game! Exactly as I remembered. Yes, its a little blocky but I'm not talking Minecraft here. I very much enjoy the game and have already spent more than 20 game hours on this game. If you enjoyed Syndicate Wars in the past on the Amiga 500, PC or Playstation then you will definitely enjoy this game. It was well worth the money! :-)

Be aware Mac users: The music doesn't work on the Mac versions of both Syndicate Wars and Dungeon Keeper Gold. SFX and Graphics are fine, but Music is not. As far as I can tell there are no solutions to this on the game forums here on GOG.com, so I used the Windows versions via Crossover. In Dungeon Keeper's case this solved everything, but in the case of Syndicate Wars, the music now works, but the screen will not go fullscreen, even when prompted to do so, and plays in a window about the quarter of the full size. Don't get me wrong, I deeply appreciate GOG for uploading these classics and making them accessible to Mac Users, but for me the music is an integral, nostalgic part of these games, so I cannot rate this review any higher than I have done. If anyone has overcome this issue, please let me know. Thanks.

I miss games where you can play as the bad guy, where you can be work for or be the owner of an evil corporation, where you are a cult leader and the narrative does nothing to tell you what you already know, that you are evil.
