    It has been a while since I've had so much pure joy while playing a game.

    I fear that as much as Psi-Ops was helpful for the action genre, it may actually be harmful with many games trying to use the same techniques with allowing players to have Psionic powers at their own disposal.

    We're talking levitating enemies and sending them flying across the room or setting things (and people) aflame--how is that not fun?

    There is so much fun to be had from torturing the enemy that at times you have to worry about your own mental state. Yet, for all the satisfaction on offer for the majority of the experience, it ultimately ends on a disappointing low.

    I love this game. It was the saddest day ever when I completed it. Definitely a game with a difference. I just hope that they make a follow up.

    Wow - what a surprise. This is an excellent game and much better than i expected it to be. The special powers are amazing and add another dimension to to normal 1st/3rd person shooter. I particularly like the way you get introduced (via training missions) throughout the game rather than all at the beginning which i think would have been confusing. I rarely finish games but i wouldn't be surprised if this is an exception. Highly recommended.… Expand

    A big surprise hit. Amazing physics, awesome sense of power. Very solid experience. Only let down is the surround sound, which is poorly implemented.

    Taking on the role of Nick, a telepath trained by Mindgate in the use of all manner of powers, the player is tasked with defeating an organisation made of ex-Mindgate personnel known as The Movement. Being released so close to the mostly excellent Second Sight comparisons were always going to be made and, for me at least, Psi-Ops just comes off second best. Thats not to say that Psi-Ops is not worth playing however.

    The controls are well implemented and the game encourages creative use of each of your powers throughout the game in order to defeat enemies and solve environmental puzzles. The Havok powered physics engine is also put to good use with enemies and objects flying around (semi) realistically. Psi-Ops is far from perfect of course and problems such as randomly respawning enemies and a slightly awkward camera can be frustrating on occasions. Providing you can get over these however there is a great deal of fun to be had here.    … Expand
