    This is nothing more than Psi Ops meets Galerians. That is, it's very boring, gimmicky and forgettable. What is it with this whole psychic game craze lately anyway?

    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.

    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.

    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!

    One of my favorite games of the PS2 Xbox generation, I cannot recommend enough that you played this challenging because it makes you use all your psychic abilities in interesting way where you when you're played on normal difficulty it becomes a bit of shooting party you feel like a tank, every level feels like a little puzzle you can use ability to get perfect through every level withOne of my favorite games of the PS2 Xbox generation, I cannot recommend enough that you played this challenging because it makes you use all your psychic abilities in interesting way where you when you're played on normal difficulty it becomes a bit of shooting party you feel like a tank, every level feels like a little puzzle you can use ability to get perfect through every level with stealth but it's also fun to go gunsblazing. And the story is one of the best I've seen in video games it's simple and clean and good and a voice acting and character models to look amazing
    , Disc games made with love and I recommended it and of its dirt cheap so go and buy it, Ps, The soundtrack is an amazing under your skin in a good way    … Expand

    Second Sight is a very surprising action game! It has a very appealing story with great cinematics and the gameplay is incredibly well balanced. Only the level design gets a bit repetitive after some hours. Nevertheless, this third person telepathic action game is an absolute recommendation!

    A gaming experience that's hard to describe; it's like going to your favourite band's concert, seeing them live and coming out gob-smacked - you know that you've enjoyed it and you loved every minute of it but you're stuck for words on how to convey the experience.

    Although in pure in gameplay terms it doesn't reach match Psi-Ops' thrilling ambition, favouring old school stealth principles over riotous action, it almost makes up for it by being a far more stylish affair - although the occasional lack of signposting can be irritating on one or two notable occasions.

    An exceptionally balanced game. FRD have managed to combine elements of pretty much every third person action game without it ever feeling contrived or forced, and they've selected all the best bits (stealthy kills, plenty of weapons, good storyline) and discarded those ideas that didn't work in other games (no camera control, steep learning curve).
