I enjoyed the concept of this game, before I even played it. The story is relatively innovative, the graphics are of good quality, and the game play is fun(or enjoyable if you're big on big words) To add to that, there's a lot of comedy value, from quips to bizarre characters.

Where it fell down was about 30 minutes into the game. After some time abusing psi-attacks and laughing at enemy chatter, I lost interest. I could easily stay in the same place, kill everything, jump off a ledge to die, and do it again, and be satisfied. Moving forward didn't have much to make we want to put in the effort.

All told, this is a must play for anyone who enjoyed KOTOR and other games that involved 'force powers' just to see it in action. In the end, though, it's an afternoons worth of fun, and not much more. Check out the opening movie...Awesome!

Psi-Ops is an all-around great game. The graphics look very realistic, the controls are responsive and easy to remember, and the game is challenging enough to test the skills of even veteran gamers.

Psi-Ops' best feature isn't the graphics or controls, but rather the psychic abilities you can use. Tired of your enemies running behind crates when you try to kill them? No problem-just use telekinesis to pick up the crate and slam it into the enemy. Are you low on health and facing a room full of enemies? Again, no problem-just use mind control to take over one of them and have him deal with the problem. Has doing all of that caused you to run out of psi-energy? Yet again, no problem-just use mind drain on a corpse or unsuspecting enemy and rejuvenate it. Perhaps the best thing about the psychic abilities is that they are both fun and easy to use. With Telekinesis for instance all you have to do is target an enemy or movable object, pull and hold L1, and sling it/him around to your heart's content-perhaps even into the explosive barrel that several other enemies are foolishly standing by.

All-in-all I highly recommend you rent this game-you wont be disappointed.

I could not stop tossing people around in this game. It's pure action and I never got bored using the characters abilities. The is packed with a good sci-fi story and good game play. The graphics are very good too. I highly recommend this game!!
