Killing civilians also bears a monetary penalty, perhaps so all of the violence against innocents bears some kind of punishment, but it really is quite annoying.

The banks aren’t nearly prolific enough, and it’s extremely restrictive in the early parts of the game. Because of this, you can no longer cheat by sitting on the status screen, but at the same time feels like an ill fitting solution to the problem. Although they’re tough to make out amongst the dense urban jungles, banks are valuable secondary targets, and wringing them dry is pretty much the only way you can properly research and equip your characters. Most annoyingly, money is no longer obtained via taxation, but is instead acquired via selling weapons you’ve picked up, and by robbing banks. Like American Revolt, there is a multiplayer option, but it is only available over Local Area Networks. The drugs have changed, and instead just send your agents into varying states of panic. The shields regenerate slowly, and it feels like an early implementation of this kind of life meter that was popularized in Bungie’s Halo in 2001. On the same note, your agents now have shields, which will absorb quite a bit of damage before directly harming your agents. Since it recharges after time, this means you never need to carry more than one weapon type, and eliminates all of that annoying arsenal juggling. Instead of ammunition, all weapons are powered by the same energy pool, which is shared amongst all four agents. There are also numerous basic design changes, some for the better, some not so much. Maybe that’s what they were supposed to have been saying the whole time?

The weird gibberish acknowledgment when picking agents has also been replaced with an more understandable “SELECTED”. It’s mostly atmospheric electronica with some Asian instrumentation occasionally tossed in, which has a tendency to get repetitive, but it’s still quite cool. (Certain trucks also bear the logo of Manga Entertainment, its North American publisher.) The music is restricted to a small handful of looping CD audio tracks, which, predictably, take a bit after Vangelis’ score in Blade Runner. The video screens are even more fully animated, and shows clips from the anime Ghost in the Shell, which was released around the same time. It’s much darker, more closely emulating the look of Blade Runner, and even has occasional weather effects like pouring rain. This might seem like a huge step over the 2D visuals of its predecessor, and at first glance, it is. The game world is now fully 3D, and the camera can be rotated with the keyboard. (In keeping with the parallels to the later sandbox games, this feature wasn’t introduced until Pandemic’s Mercenaries in 2005.) New items allow for even more tactical advantages – trip wires can be set up to trap enemies, the Statis Field to slow down surrounding characters, the Chromotap to steal health from anyone around you, Medikits to regain health, and a Cerberus IFF robotic guardian, which can be deployed to guard certain areas.

Furthermore, practically all of the buildings are destructible, allowing you to demolish entire city blocks with the right equipment.

Old favorites like the Flamer, Minigun and Gauss Gun (here termed the Launcher) return, but new weapons include the Pulse Laser, Electron Mace, Plasma Lance, two types of gas, and two kinds of high explosives, not to mention the Satellite Rain, which bombards an area with a series of devastating attacks.

In keeping with the faster tempo, the pistols and shotguns are gone, with the Uzi now being the default weapon.

In order to enter the Super Arcade Mode, you must type a password on the title screen corresponding to the ship you wish to use.For those types of gamers who would just fire up Syndicate to see what kind of destruction they could cause, Syndicate Wars increases the havoc by several orders of magnitude. Rear Guns are unavailable in this mode, but to make up for that each ship comes with two different Special Weapons, with the secondary fire button being used to switch between them. Enemies will drop coloured pods, each of which corresponds to a certain weapon, with weapon level depending on how many of a coloured pod you collected. Instead of picking weapons randomly dropped by enemies, each of the ships available in this mode have their own particular set of weapons. It follows the same rules from the regular Arcade Mode, though the weapons work differently here. Super Arcade Mode is a secret gameplay mode from Tyrian.
