Second Sight

Released at about the same time as Psi Ops (that also featured the use of physic abilities) Second Sight is the superior of the two largely thanks to the quality of its storytelling. The player takes on the role of John Vattic who awakes from a coma to find himself trapped inside a government facility with no memory of who he is or how he got there.

As the game progresses he gradually discovers that he has a number of psychic abilities and these of course play a huge part in the gameplay whether it be in solving puzzles or defeating enemies. The fact that these powers can be used pretty much as often as you like does arguably make the game a little easy but since it is such fun to test out each new power it doesn't really matter.

Aside from the odd difficulty in highlighting the correct target when using your abilities the controls are also well implemented and after a bit of practice become quite intuitive.

Alongside the psychic abilities the game also features a selection of high powered weaponry such as shotguns and machine guns. These are a little too easy to come by at times and the game can often be played as a straight first person shooter but that would really defeat the purpose of the game.

In the end while Second Sight may have the odd flaw the interesting story and excellent implementation of the pyschic powers makes it a game that is certainly worth playing.

Fantastic game, although im not exactly an expert on games and my review will be brief, i loved this game kept me hooked for days, it has a kind of 28 days later feel to it, and thats the best type of game for me!
If you liked Farenheit youll like it, although its a bit more of a fight in this one!
