Syndicate (2012 Video Game) User Reviews

Very cool game, awesome soundtrack, too short though

[smekushin · 8/10 · 3 May 2012]

This is my very first review btw. So, the game had the potential to be very, very awesome. The gameplay is sick, there are awesome weapons and the bosses, the other syndicates, are so much fun to fight with. The graphics is very good as well. I personally loved the soundtrack. To be fair this is the only reason I got the game. The main soundtrack of the game is by Skrillex, but some songs used are by Nero and Flux Pavilion. I love dubstep and since I heard that the soundtrack of the game is by these producers I knew I had to play it. The very big problem of the game is that it is way too short. To be fair this seems to be the main problem of most games nowadays. If the game was longer, so much more details around the plot could have been covered. That's why I gave it an 8. Pretty fun though.

The Matrix, meets...Equilibrium. Classic...

This is a 2012 Game played in 2024. The story is a little weak, but if you like The Matrix, John Wick, Equilibrium (look it up). As a matter of fact it almost is the video game version of that movie, with a little Matrix and John Wick thrown in. Wild Gun play and Computerized Mind Control. The Music, Voice acting and Graphic hold up to today's standards. But it is Super Violent. It is like a Super R Rated movie. A ton of destruction goes on. But what makes it different is the ability to control others as you are fighting by hacking chips in others brains. This ability makes it way different than other shooters. If you are a fan of Sci Fi action, get this game. But it is not for kids...

Why FPS for a god game remake ?

I can't stop being annoyed by Starbreeze for this butchering of one of the best games of all time, the only reason I haven't created a voodoo dolls of the Starbreeze team is because they created the incredible Riddick Games. When I first heard about the remake of Syndicate I couldn't wait and then I put it in and disappointment is an understatement. It's a FPS not a great one but ok , it wants to be Deus Ex minus the great script and superior level design. If you want ok , this game is for you , if you want to play a remake of the incredible Syndicate game from Bullfrog , this is not it. Don't hate the developers two much for showing this lack of respect for Peter Molyneaux classic as they should be forgiven because the did create the Riddick games after all. Now if they do a remake of Dungeon Keeper as a sports game , the voodoo dolls will definitely be out.

It's just so draining.

The worst thing can be is boring and this is boring with this sad. They made the chronicles of Riddick and the darkness video game but it just feels like they were asked to made a generic first person shooter and they did the best they could and sadly it was not fun.

It doesn't help that playing this on a Xbox 360 fills really uncomfortable with all the bloom and lighting and all the things that just doesn't look good.

They are forcing this system to do things it was not meant to do. The shooting is satisfying but at a point they get armored enemies that take so many bullets that is stopped being engaging to fight them. The story is just there.

It's hard to give a s*** about any character. It is really hard and it's just kind of there the story dark cyberpunk without any light of reason to live in it. It's just so draining.
