  • Summary: Your most powerful weapon is your mind in Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, an action/adventure game that utilizes extensive Psi (mind) powers combined with traditional weapons combat, providing gamers with unique gameplay attributes that clearly differentiate it from any other title in the action/adventure genre. In order to combat a Psi terrorist movement set to overthrow world order, you, as an elite American Psi-operative soldier, must fight using Telekinesis, Mind Control, Pyrokinesis, Mind Drain, Aura View and Remote Viewing to win a very serious "mind game" against an army of brainwashed terrorist super soldiers and powerful Psi agents.

    Once you start you won’t be able to put down the controller until you’ve beaten it.

    The attention-grabbing graphic effects and tight control scheme that allows Psi-Ops players to wreck super-powered havoc on the enemy tips the balance in making it a good purchase for action game fans, despite its lone boss battle bug and minor design problems.

    Unlike any title you've seen before, and will likely leave you breathless and craving more when the credits roll. [July 2004, p.110]

    For the most part, the game is your average military-themed third-person action adventure, complete with locked doors, navigation puzzles, and pattern-based boss battles against a variety of colorful foes. But Psi-Ops sets itself apart incredibly well with its series of well-implemented psychic abilities.

    This really is one of those great games where you’re constantly thinking ‘I wonder if I could do that…’ only to discover that in most instances (and usually with a huge grin filling the majority of your face), you probably can. [Sept 2004, p.104]

    If you can look past the story, the game is a lot of fun, and it's definitely worth experiencing. Once you start to get good with telekinesis, you'll wonder why more games haven't exploited the power.

    You'll need a high level of tolerance for boneheaded design choices, but there's plenty of fun to be had. Psi-Ops has all the right ideas, but it trips itself up in the execution.

    This game is awesome. The control is really superb - especially when you consider the multitude of unusual powers you have. The plot is just enough to keep things interesting, the control is perfect, and the whole experience is very well done.… Expand

    The second best game of the year for me. The graphics are ok but nothing special, the plot and acting are much the same but who care's as it's FUN to play! I've had more fun playing this for 5 minutes than playing though a whole Splinter Cell game (and don't get me started on driv3r! Grrr...).… Expand

    Honestly one of the best games of the year! Its everything you want in a game its fun, exciting, funnyish cut-scenes and simply 'mind' blowing! Get it? Anyway the physics are brillant, controls easy to master and the gimmick of throwing bodies against enemies or burning guards to a crisp is such a rush. Ok its not perfect its very short, around ten hours but i plead with you fellow gamers BUY THIS CLASSIC! Even the soundtrack rocks, fantastic! Way better than the boring god of 'bore'!… Expand

    Overall the game is really fun but the boss battles are pretty hay.
