This digital graphic novel comes with a memory database. If you press a button called scan, you can open an interface called scanning. With the help of a targeting reticule, you can search for hot spots and store it in a separate database of memory which you can browse through.

One of the most enjoyable games that recently released for the PSP is the Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow. Sony Bend, the creators of this game, gained prominence by its release. This project exhibited their levels of perfection in every aspect. A well maintained story coupled with excellent controls and voice chat made Logan’s Shadow the leader of the year. The predecessor of Logan’s Shadow was the Dark Mirror, which was globally acclaimed for its excellent interaction.

Logan’s shadow is significantly different from Dark Mirror by its advanced features. The under water combat and the new combat tactics makes it stand out from the previous one. The multiplayer in Syphon Filter: Shadow has two game modes with new maps. Continued from the Dark Mirror, Logan’s Shadow spins around the character Gabe Logan. Gabe and his team of experts work on a mission to defeat a terrorist group that has got its hands on a decisive weapon. The complexity of the game increases when the three countries – U.S, Russia and China try to take over the weapon by sending their agents.

The story line of Logan’s Shadow has maintained the standard of the previous releases by the number of flashbacks, suspicious characters, twists and turns. The excitement of the story is boosted by when Gabe decides to avenge the death of his team member and also to clear the name of his partner Lian Xing. The actual game play is much similar to that of Dark Mirror. The well tuned directional buttons and the sensitive shooting actions add up to the overall performance of the game. The more number of new moves that are performed by Gabe leave the players in awe. The new protective suite and the new grenade avoidance system reduce the risk on Gabe’s life. This allows the players to concentrate on strategies more than collecting medical kits.

Some of the finest features of Logan’s shadow are the high definition graphics and super sharp sound effects. The music is incredibly capturing, by perfect modulations suiting to various situations. However, at very rare situations the music might go out of phase with the environment of the game. Leaving the minor concerns apart, the Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow is a game worthwhile.
