The Game

The year is 2096. After decades of multinational corporate growth, theworld is violently split between several massive corporations known asMegacorps. You are a young executive of a small European Syndicate, aMegacorp Marketing Director, looking to spread your control overneighboring territories.

Thanks to the European Megacorp's discovery of the CHIP, a brain stemstimulator that can alter perceptions and render the CHIP recipientvulnerable to auto-suggestion, you have teams of custom cyborg agents readyto do your offerding throughout Syndicate territories. Your mission is tospread your influence across the world by succeeding in strategic missionswith your cyborg servants.

The result is a striking action game with a bit of strategy (and gratuitousbloodshed) that can keep you occupied with missions occurring in 50detailed cities across the globe.

Before each mission you are presented with a world map which displays theterritory that you have successfully occupied and the zones neighboringyours that are available for possible takeover (following a successfulmission). You choose the tax rates to impose on each territory, keeping acareful eye on the status of each country or syndicate border. Zones startout 'very happy' at your new Syndicate rule, but too high a taxation ratecan cause the zone to lapse into civil rebellion. This requires you tofight the mission over again (and spend valuable Syndicate funds betterused for further conquest) to quell the insubordination.

Immediately before each mission begins you can choose research interests topursue. Your cyborg teams can initially be equipped with basicenhancements such as more durable arms or eyes. Further research (at acost) yields more durable and effective components. Weapons and equipmentare initially limited to items such as pistols or shotguns, but divertingtaxation income to further research can yield more advanced items such asGauss guns or flame throwers. Need that laser rifle for an upcomingassassination mission quickly? Just raise the research rate from 10 to 5days, doubling the cost for development. You can weigh budget and timeconsiderations and devote huge sums of money for quicker weapons or mods(body part modifications) development.

Prior to each mission beginning you can also pay for enhanced mission dataor higher-resolution maps to increase your likelihood of mission success.Finally, you equip between 1 to 4 cyborg Company Agents with equipment andmods suitable for the mission of your choice and your funds, and you're offinto the combat mode of the game.

You maneuver your agents through each city to accomplish a specific goalsuch as politically-motivated assassination, combat sweeps to purge foreignSyndicate influences from a city, or retrieval operations requiring the of a competent scientist via a persuadertron in order tobolster your weapons and mods research efforts. The city combat segmentsof the game are where most time is spent, either in wholesale massacre offoreign syndicate agents (or police) or in carefully moving your agentstoward an assassination target. Many of the missions are well-crafted,however. One South American mission involves fighting your way throughenemy agents while another squadron of agents races toward your sole meansof transport halfway across the city (unknown to you). If you're notperceptive enough, you end up totally stranded.

While most of the missionscan be successful via brute force and enough heavy (and expensive) weapons,others are protection missions where reaction time and quick perceptionover a large region of city blocks are necessary, or they have somesubtlety that isn't apparent until you've played the mission once. Weaponand equipment selection before each mission has ultimate consequences foreach city--you don't want your agents to be surrounded by foreign cyborgagents with only one half-loaded uzi left. Strategic movement through eachcity is also very important. Caught in some cross-fire between a policetank and syndicate snipers? Just duck into a neighboring building oralleyway to recuperate or ready your flamethrowers. Finished with wipingout syndicate influences in one sector of a city? Jump on a transit trainor a pod car to make your way to remaining agents in another quadrant, orramp up adrenaline levels and sprint your agents at almost hovercar speed.

The eight agents you start out with are fully unmodified. You can add onany mods you have researched, or use any enhanced agents that can manage to during missions. Extra agents can be persuaded to join yoursyndicate with a persuadertron and a high enough level of brain version (orenough civilians, guards, or police that you have persuaded--this adds toyour persuasion ability). If all your agents are killed, the game ends,making additional agent acquisition important if several of your initialeight agents are killed. Agents unused for a mission are kept in cryostorage, keeping all unused skills, equipment, and mods.

Syndicate will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, here is a word of warning: Unless you have the relentless energy of your average 10 year old do not try to play the final mission late at night! The required adrenaline overload will make it impossible for you to sleep after your hard-earned victory!

American Revolt

You controlled the world. In Syndicate, you ruthlessly guided your cyborg agents and oversaw your company's funds and arsenal to succeed against bloody civilian uprisings and police resistance, and you accomplished political assassinations, abductions, and rescues. You managed to grind every competing syndicate in the world under your heel, basking in the control of (and taxes from) every nation on the globe.

In Syndicate: American Revolt, the situation has changed. The North and South American populations have revolted to form a strong, almost impervious defense against you, the syndicate that once ruled them. Novice syndicate executives, take heed: you'll need skill, patience, a well-managed bank account, and a fist of iron to re-subjugate the American upstarts.

The American Revolt add-on data disk creates 21 new missions in the familiar terrain and cityscapes that players may recognize from the original Syndicate game. What has changed are the objectives, the enemy skill, and a few weapons. The new weapons Clone Shield (which holographically cloaks your agents in civilian appearance) and Air Strike Com (which calls in a devastating wave of airstrike bombers for a stiff $50,000 fee) raise the game's difficulty. It's harder to minigun your way through squads of enemy agents while they're calling large-scale bombs down on your agents' heads.

The missions, I'm happy to say, are very difficult. One disappointment of mine with the original Syndicate was that a fully-modified level 3 team of agents could bulldoze through almost any original Syndicate mission with several miniguns and an occasional gauss gun. Brute force alone won't getyou through American Revolt. During many of my first runs through AR missions, I ended up slack-jawed and a bit dazed as I watched my entire team of agents slaughtered in 10 seconds or less. The infamous Atlantic Accelerator mission from Syndicate is a good example of the sort of consistant difficulty of many American Revolt missions, where brute force combined with tactical movement through sectors, attentive weapon selection, and quick reaction time were equally necessary. (Interestingly, the Atlantic Accelerator mission is included in American Revolt, but with defense as the objective instead of the takeover of the complex. Watch out: it gets hard to dodge airstrikes when your agent is stranded on a 10 foot square guard platform.)

The subject matter of most American Revolt missions is the same as in Syndicate: assassination, rescue, scourges of enemy agents or guard squads. Your opponents, however, are vastly more well-prepared than in Syndicate. Expect a particularly aggressive enemy agent with a minigun to nearly be able to mow down your entire level-3-modified group within seconds if you're too inattentive or sluggish. Many American Revolt missions also have a notable absence of civilians, frequently preventing widespread use of a persuadertron to subjugate an entire city without bloodshed. Several of the missions that do have civilians have just barely enough civilians to manage persuadertron use against agents and guards, leaving a nice tactical choice between attacking agents and the difficult job of protecting every one of the civs from gunfire. Both the enemy difficulty and frequent lack of civilians make most of the missions considerably more difficult than the original missions.

Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows.
