  1. Best of all, Second Sight tells an excellent story and does so with a presentation that borders on interactive cinema.

    It's just fun, in an admittedly creepy way, to telepathically grab guys by the throat and slam them into walls and ceilings!
  3. Even with some unpolished technical aspects, the way the story unfolds is innovative and engaging, and the number of ways around every problem is impressive. [Sept 2004, p.106]
  4. Ultimately, this game has its merit, as it makes for a decent story and some entertaining psychic powers, but poor gameplay makes for an extremely frustrating game, until you're pretty far along.

    A very fine game whose only faults are its short length and limited replay value. That said, these are not a major criticsms and if you are looking for a game that will suck you in and take over your life for 10 hours or so then I'd definitely recommend this. Expand
  3. A fun and unique game that delivers in most aspects. What it lacks in some areas it makes up in with very enjoyable gameplay excluding the poor use of guns. Fun game! Expand

    I really expected to like this one. the psi powers may be shamelessly lifted from psi ops, but more of a good thing is welcome. the way they implemented the psi powers is this games biggest problem. the exciting powers are used to do mostly unexciting things (open locked doors etc). psi ops does it much better.
