This game is incredible. When I First played it on a demo, I liked it. But I can't help thinking about Timesplitters when playing this because the bulgy, comic-like character design from Free Radical is in all of their games. It makes the game a little less dramatic and more well, timesplitters. Besides that. The game brings in the psychic powers impressingly; It's not gimmicky, you can't go around and just blow up everthing and everyone but the game never forgets about your powers and there's always something new to do, whether it's levatate a gun out of a window to you, remove a wooden board blocking a door, or move a lever, and that's just Telekinesis.

Free radical has a way with guns. It's so much fun to aim the gun up and press fire, I love this game and I am so happy I didn't pass this up

Fantastic Game

At first I was frustrated with this game, because it was difficult to understand. But after a little research I got it going and then it was a great adventure from beginning to end. I highly reccomend this game, if you enjoy stealth and action playing games. This game takes you through the live of a Doctor equiped with special psychic abilities, who is trying to stop the goverment from using children to become diablolical killers. A great story line that takes you through some terrific fight scenes. You will see how the children lead the Dr. to them, and what he must do to save them. Check it out, I think you will like it. I sure did.

It's so overlooked

I remember renting this game years ago. I beat and liked it so I just bought it. I can't believe how overlooked it is too. I've beaten like more times than I can count because I love the levels and storyline and characters. The main character seems a bit geeky but you get to know him and you start sharing his abilities and figuring stuff out. I love the guns and psychic abilities in this game. Awesome! I love the sniper rifle haha. Also, if you're bored, after already having beaten the game, you can just mess around on the different levels. You can mess with the mental patients and guards and even your comrads in action. This game is fun, has great graphics, good music, and a great storyline and characters. Even though, some of the minor characters are the same ones over again (there's multiples of the same looking person). But GTA is like that too. Everytime I play this game I play it twice because I love it and it's fun. Buy it!

First Review, BIOOOTCH!

I thought that this game was awesome all around. The graphics could use some tweaking as could the controls, but those few problems can't stop me! Think they can stop you from buying this game?

Totally Awesone, Dude!! Ten Stars!!

17 jam-packed levels full of action, mystery, and great fun!
What I like about it is mostly the psychic powers. I really like the telekinesis power, 'cause I like to pick stuff up and smash it onto the bad guys. It's actually the first power you get. I also like the awesome weapons. Really like the flashbacks into the team-work missions. The best game ending I've ever seen! But don't skip the movies or the game will make no sense at all.
Second Sight is great and I recommend that you get it as soon as possible. Stop reading this review and click on "Add to Cart" now!

Awesome Game

Normally sci-fi games are pretty much the same thing over an over you know solve a mystery and save the village or something but not second sight in second sight the plot is so twisted and the amount of powers you get to yeild is cool i got the game because of the cool powers but ending up loving the story so much more so if you are looking for a differnt sci-fi game with a cool ending then you should get this game

This game is so cool. You get the coolest powers ever, including telekinesis, psi attack, charm, projection, healing, and POSSESION. The levels and graphics look really awesome. The only thing is the music freaks me out! Its like theres a ghost in the hood. This game is just the right difficulty. This game is definetly going on my birthday list. And to the guy who bragged about having the first review, HA! FIRST REVIEW OF THE YEAR BIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH!

A must buy game. Get the PC version. Better graphics!!

The PC version has the best graphics.
The story is fantastic.
The story has the same quality as games like Syberia I&II, The Longest Journey, and Shadow of Destiny.
The graphics are great too.
It's hard to tell between the cutscenes and actual gameplay.

There is more than one way to play the game.
Here is an example:
There are 5 guys down the hall with rifles.
You can:
A: Use Telekinesis to frighten them buy moving stuff around or use it to hit them with stuff.
B: Use Projection to possess one of the guards and get him to shoot the others.
C: Use Charm to make yourself invisible and walk past them unnoticed. It won't work if there are security cameras.
D: Just shoot them with either a gun or tranqualizer dart.

Cons:
The game only saves at the end of each level.
There are checkpoints that you can start at in each level if you die but if you quit the game before reaching the end of a level you will have to start that level over from the beginning.

The best feature of the game in my opinion is the story.
If you like a great story and a game with time travel this is the game for you.

There is a game guide by Prima that tells how to beat the game and alot more.

An Overlooked Gem...

I don't understand what happened to this game. I guess Psi-Ops (the other psychic game that came out last year) had the better press campaign and, thus, nobody heard about this one. I actually had employees at the game shop telling me that I was taking a risk in trying this one because they hadn't heard anything about it...

They were VERY wrong...

This is one of the rare games that gets all of the components right.

THE STORY- is very engrossing- I beat the game in several marathon sittings just because I HAD to see how things turned out. It's safe to say that the story in this game was surpassed only (in my experience) by the Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain series. Everything else pales in comparison.

THE MUSIC- was also fantastic. This is one of those games where I really want the soundtrack. I'm going to have to see whether there's any way to hunt it down. More and more, I'm encountering game soundtracks that best many film scores (Primal is the best example of this)

THE GRAPHICS- The game looks beautiful. The character models should remind you of the SLIGHTLY cartoony style that the Timesplitters characters had, although the effect is muted here. Other than that, everything is rendered very well. This title is definitely WELL above average in my large PS2 library.

THE GAMEPLAY- Imagine this. There are 4 guys down the hall shooting at you. You go for cover. Then you use telekinesis to move an explosive crate through the air over to where the guys are. You switch to your guns and shoot the crate....no more bad guys. This is simply one example of the very fun and surprisingly non-linear gameplay found here. By the end of the game, you have several guns but more importantly, a large arsenal of psychic powers. The level of strategy that can be utilized here is commendable. Second sight ranks highly both as an action game or as a stealth game- depending on your style of play.

I'm very picky when it comes to games, and I don't finish very many. I keep even fewer to put on my "shelf of fame", and Second Sight well deserves its place there. The game is cheap now, so pick it up!
