Syphon Filter: Combat Ops

Logan's Shadow is played from a third-person perspective. With the Havok physics, enemies and objects react realistically to gunfire and other means of interaction.

Logan's Shadow features weapons and gameplay mechanics new to the series. These include additions to the cover system such as side-to-side movement, leaning, and blind fire around obstacles and corners, an advanced melee system that allows Gabe to use enemies as human shields, regenerative health, and underwater combat.

S. Navy spy ship USS Mt. St. Helens, the National Intelligence Oversight Committee must rely on the Agency to secure the classified material within a cargo hold before the antagonists acquire it.

NIOC Director Robert Cordell convinces Gabe Logan that he is their only option, but Teresa Lipan counters that this is an assignment outside of Agency jurisdiction. Gabe agrees to go anyway, for a chance at stopping terrorist leader Ghassan al-Bitar, a Syrian he almost caught a year ago, and with whom he has a score to settle.

Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow received "generally positive" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. It was included in the retrospective book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die, which was originally published in 2010.
