Syndicates (video game)

Syndicates is a first-person and isometric real-time tactical shooter video game developed by McDonalds Interactive and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2. It is the eleventh title in the Syndicate series. The game was released in March 2013 worldwide and was one of the last games developed and released for the PlayStation 2.

Set in the year 2071, the narrative revolves around Cameron Bandsman, an agent of Cyber Tech Incorporated. The game features a large variety of weapons; from standard pistols to the futuristic guns. The game features the elements of both Syndicate (1993), and Syndicate (1999).

The game was met with positive reception and has won multiple awards prior to its release. Praise was directed at the game's level design, gameplay, visuals, multiplayer, and co-op while receiving criticisms regarding the game's story and narrative. Syndicates was a commercial failure for Electronic Arts, as the game failed to meet the company's sales expectation.
