Summary: awesome game
Comment: I am a adult and not a kid and I can tell ya, to give this game a bad review because of "online" play seems a childish. First, if I want to play online, I want to do it from a desktop and not from a portable game. If you guys want online play, throw the psp in the trash, purchase a computer and play Online!
I rate this game above the all the socom games ( not that they are bad), your missions are not boring, graphics are great, etc. The controls are easy to learn and have a practice mode. I have beat this game once, and I am playing it again!

Summary: Really good action !!
Comment: Logan's Shadow has incredible graphics and game play. I have been at it for about three hours so far, and I am VERY glad that I bought it. Also like the amount of control you have. It saves game play automatically, so if you do get yourself killed, you don't have to do a bunch of stuff over again !!
I HATE it when you have to repeat over and over if something goes wrong. But not in this one !!

Summary: Very fun and engrossing stealth action
Comment: One of the things that I've always loved about Sony systems as well as those from Nintendo is that there was always these games that received barely any attention or press or even much sales yet you're like "hey, this looks intriguing" and you check it out and sure enough it's quite a fun play. After buying a PSP, I checked out some opinions of top games and frequent "games to get for PSP" lists and though I wasn't a huge fan of Splinter Cell, I thought I'd give it a shot anyway and actually found quite a fun game. Though storyline-wise and character-wise I'm completely lost and don't know anybody, it was still a fun experience.
Story: You play as special operative Gabe Logan who's sent to a ship in the Indian Ocean to retrieve a new dangerous piece of technology in the hands of terrorists. But the more he digs and the more he realizes things don't fit, he finds himself finding old enemies and allies as well as possibly the idea that one enemy was on his side. I don't want to spoil too much since it's hard to bring down but it's also quite intriguing so it's best to just play it.
Graphics: The PSP, despite being small, can crank out some pretty surprising graphics, as evidenced by God of War and Crisis Core. Logan's Shadow is pretty much the same thing since it's so sharp, heavily detailed, characters are well animated, the cutscenes are quite gorgeous (though the eyes...freaky looking) and the different visors like night and heat vision look quite splendid as well.
Sound/Music: The music's quite fantastic actually and while I was getting a bit tired of those wailing vocals in films like 300 and Gladiator to show off that "epic" atmosphere, here the music helps and keeps you on your toes with ambience or straight ahead action tunes for the bigger stuff. The voice acting is also quite stellar and with different accents and dialects along with Logan (doing his best Eastwood impression I guess), it's a joy to watch as well as hear.
Gameplay: The PSP of course doesn't have the more numerous buttons that the Dual Shock controllers have though the PSP makes do and it's actually pretty well handled. Controlling Gabe is through the nub and the D-pad is for interaction like holding left for visors, right for weapons, down for crouching and up for interaction like opening doors, climbing or accessing different mission keypads and such. At first it took awhile to get used to, even with training modes to guide you in. But playing through the main story modes, it was easy to figure out and pretty soon swimming and going through the levels were pretty soon, though I weirdly couldn't get used to weapon changing.
Combat is more frequent and instead of Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell having an emphasis on stealth than action, this game will have you frequently running into enemies. There's still stealth kills to be had, sure, but the rarity of them happening and being spotted was quite numerous. Taking cover, Gabe has the ability to peek and fire and also blind firing over his shoulder or head, forcing the enemy to find cover. The AI is well-handled though it's easy to play the waiting game and just keep your crosshairs on the spot the enemy will show up then when he turns, blammo. One complaint was the ones that bomb in and it was hard to turn the camera and hit them though the difficulty never really got brutally difficult and with a handy radar for enemy positions, it wasn't too frustrating to deal with.
I'd very much recommend playing Logan's Shadow as its one of the top games for the handheld...though if this is your first one, you'll probably be like me and wonder "who's Lian? or Teresa? or him or him?"

Summary: just freakin awesome
Comment: wow! this game is just awesome. it seems that every game that sony develops is a winner! plenty of action and plenty of heart stopping moments. I just could not put it down. Their is a lot of replayability built in this game too but I wish it was yet longer. maybe thats asking for too much. the framerate was smooth as butta-a big improvement over the last Syphon Filter title. I hope sony brings out a new Syphon Filter next year. I will be the first in the line!
