This is the only game where a tazer is a lethal weapon. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you've never played this game. Besides that, as someone who grew up on the PS1, this was our equivalent of Nintendo's Goldeneye and honestly? I think we got the better game in the end.

This was the first game I completed as a child, it is very entertaining, a good story, a variety of weapons, stealth mechanics and a lot of shooting, it brings back very good memories.
A pre tom clancy game with serious good voice acting for a psx game :D loved it still do bought ps5 version 10 euro still worth it :D ( understanding english now is a plus)
My favorite moments with Syphon Filter were playing this with my older brother. It was such a rich and visually distinctive game for the time. When I think back to 1998-99 me and Billy (1975-2014) enjoyed the dynamic realism to the combat system. The controls were spot on and responsive. The visual style creatively helped open the door for games which would come. The aiming system was well ahead of its time.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Resident Evil: The Umbrella ChroniclesResident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is the first natively developed for the Wii console. Unlike the other games focused on free exploration, this title is an on-rails shooting game with fixed movement and perspectives. While playing, the camera floats to different areas and players shoot enemies on the screen, picking up ammo, weapons and health kits in the progress. In some situations, the controller can also be used as a melee weapon or in timed sequences. Some levels feature multiple paths and there are regular checkpoints. At the end of a level, the player's performance is awarded by stars, which can be exchanged for weapon upgrades. The game supports the Wii Zapper and features cooperative gameplay for up to two players.
