The unique multiplayer modes offer a different type of multiplayer experience and can be a ton of fun for long term FPS fans. In addition (I reiterate this point), the style of gameplay is so rarely seen that I suggest everyone at least try it out before turning away from it.
Fun, original and edgy, Geist is an action-packed ghost story that attempts go well beyond the usual shoot-um-up fare. It's a rare blend of bullet-fueled action and puzzle-solving that involves spiritual possessions of souls and objects.

An underrated game with a clever mechanic, the ghost/spirit to possess bodies when they are terrified was very enjoyable, unfortunately time was not kind to this game in today's generation of games.

I like this game simply for its twists on an old genre. I enjoy many shooter games, but the ability to change characters gives this one a real personality.
If possession is nine tenths the law, then Geist succeeds in possessing a game with a few genres mixed together all in one game. It's just too bad this game doesn't exactly raise my spirits.
Playing as a ghost who can possess people, animals and inanimate objects is a definite novelty, but a lot of the game's action sequences have a been there, done that feel.
A sloppy mess of nonsensical plot points, dumb puzzles (which often boil down to trial-and-error guessing), and yet more bland blasting sections toward the end of the game, when this whole ghost train really derails. [Sept 2005, p.114]
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]
El primer juego para mayores de 18 que tuve. Mirándolo hoy en día no es el shooter de la decada, pero recuerdo que tenía un sistema de juego bastante original. La historia era bastante entretenida y tenía un multijugador convincente. Gráficamente correcto, sin mas. Tenía jefes finales algo complicados. Un buen juego.

A gamecube and ghost version of Broken Helix. Broken Helix was a great PS1 gem involving branching story lines and aliens. Depending on what path you take, you even become a Alien, killing things left and right.
Anyways, Geist reminds me of that game through puzzles, combat, and overall layout. However, it is 2023, game needs a serious remake. A person could easily argue for a 3 out of 10. Especially if you bring games like Dead Space or Resident Evil into the mix.

+Doggy sections
~Combat is often easy

-Boss rush ending
-all bosses are tedious and rarely require any amount of skill-Game is often to bright or dark
-Music and sound effects are either generic or don't work right
-difficulty comes from terrible control or combat mechanics
