  1. Disappointed because the concept was really cool, but the implementation blew. And disappointed that even Nintendo couldn't turn this one around.
  2. Unfortunately, no sooner does Geist suggest it can blossom into something fresh and exciting that it's undermined at every turn by a frustrating insistence on being nothing more than a mundane firstperson shooter. [Oct 2005, p.88]

    This game has great sound and cool graphics. Crank it up and start the killin.

    The graphics are average, the puzzles are boring, and the game is just totally uninteresting. There are also lamer mags than EGM and the preview of Geist was pretty much the same as the final product. Oh, and before people get angry at me for giving Geist a 4/10, I have actually played through the game. Get Metroid Prime instead. Full Review »

    I like this Game, and I don't understand, why everyone criticizes it.
