Syndicate, brought to you by the developers of the popular games Theme Park and Theme Hospital. Syndicate didn't catch on as well as these two titles and rather underrated for its own right.

Interesting idea of the future; constant action; and a shooter as well as strategy

Literally no sound/music; too easy to make income; and limited graphics

Great sci-fi fps game. Grab some buddies for online though

This is a really wonderful game. I loved every aspect, every challenge, ever level in it. Gets over fast and has no installation issues!

Starbreeze's reboot of Syndicate as a first-person shooter is fairly predictable, but its co-operative mode is a skyscraper on an otherwise flat horizon.

Looks, sounds, and feels great; Nice mix of weapons, powers, and upgrades; Excellent if unstable co-op mode

Singleplayer experience is too guided; Genre clichés abound

Syndicate hints at a fantastic puzzle meta-game, but relies on bullets flying to get through every level. Where the story walks a familiar road, the cooperative campaign's tough-but-fun arcade action makes up for the missteps.

Competent sci-fi FPS that borrows from the leaders of the genre. Single player misses but the co-op has some interesting qualities.

At first glance, Syndicate looks a lot like Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As you play through the game however, it becomes evident that the similarity exists only in the representation of an oppressive, bleak future for humanity and of course, cheap boss fights.

In a way, you've got to feel sorry for Starbreeze Studios. With Syndicate , the shooter-centric re-imagining of the 1993 strategy game of the same name -- there's absolutely no way to please everyone.

The original Syndicate was a much-loved isometric tactical shooter from 1993. EA and Starbreeze Studios' 2012 update-slash-reboot is a first-person shooter – a reflection on the corporate dystopia presented in the series, where free will is subsumed by big business concerns?
