Great atmosphere, lackluster gameplay

Synidcate Wars belongs to a franchise known for a specific style and approach that is undoubtedly polarizing. Without going into great detail I can say that I find this game's control scheme to be stiff and often unresponsive. Even when I get my character moving along at a good clip and gunning down enemies, I feel the experience is wanting. It's simply not enjoyable, in my opinion. On the plus side, the dated graphics and sound design still create an effective atmosphere that makes you *want* to play the game and immerse yourself in its world. Too bad it plays so badly. If you've already successfully played through another game in the series then Syndicate Wars might be a better experience for you.

Graphics need to be ported correctly

I loved this game back in the day and played it obsessively, completing both campaigns several times each and spending countless hours demolishing every building I possibly could, literally nothing of this game was left unexplored by me and my buddies. I even hung onto the CD ROM through the years I never even bothered with owning a PC. The dark brooding cyberpunk atmosphere of the game was heavily influenced by Blade Runner and the likes of Ghost In The Shell (Gee I wonder what'll give that away..) . The setting of an oppressive omnipotent electronic control and surveillance state versus religious fanaticism is eerily prophetic now. Syndicate Wars is a game very well thought out altogether and while it may seem dated now the freedom to steal cars, board public transport, the total free will to accomplish your described missions through however you felt it was best done (set an ambush, brainwash and arm bunch of squishy civilian types etc.) was a huge breath of fresh air from the predominate RTS flavour of the time. On the RTS note there is also a (admittedly thin, but powerful influence on your team's advancement) resource management side such as in-field "persuading" scientists and cyborg recruits to join your team as well as the acquisition of advanced tech and funds which I will leave up to your own discovery and deviousness! One downer to all of this however is the lack of higher resolution function working correctly, and believe me, the visuals of this game are burnt into my brain like no other so for me personally this is a big point to note, if you haven't played it perhaps you might not notice so much I guess but believe me it can look better than it does, if only cause it gives you a more zoomed out view than you can currently access. ATTENTION GOG: Will pay double the price for again for the graphics fix!!! All things said and done you will have a great time with this game, ambient tunes, cool atmosphere make for a cool and relaxing little timefiller!

The future is dark indeed

This is a really REALLY good sequel to the classic strategy game Syndicate. It is set some time after the first game and the corporation you created has successfully taken over the world and inserted mind control chips in almost every single civilian out there. But soon things start to go very wrong, some sort of virus cripples the EuroCorp chips and now there are people known as Unguided running around on the streets and shooting up everyone they see. There's also the small problem of the Church of the New Epoch, a very fanatically religious group that also want to rule the world and intends to wipe EuroCorp out. You are free to pick your sides and they each offer a different take on the various cybernetic modifications you will be making to your agents. And there's certainly no shortage of weapons of mass destruction here either, you even get nuclear grenades that can completely and utterly demolish a building. Are you prepared to step in the dystopian future that is Syndicate Wars?

Blasting the past

Where to start? Man this was just an amazing game back in the "day". That new release via EA in this generation was lacking what this game still has. The graphics have not aged well, but the core game play is still there and rocking solid.
