This game is overrated by all means accept the psi powers.Graphics Could have been much better,Bosses are easy to beat,and over all the other bad is the weapons.You waste a whole clip on one enemy just to kill him,come on now.Im going to have to say the only thing good about this game is the psi powers.Then they gone have the nerve to put the making of psi ops in the special features like they did excelent with the game.My advice to you is save your money for the upcoming games like Halo2,Splinter cell3,The new rainbow six 3 and fable.

The game has great potential. The Psi powers are a great touch but for TK they are pretty useless. Well I take that back, mind drain has its uses.
But the game itself… ugh… the story is pathetic, without a minimum of charm and basically one huge cliche.
The game itself is flawed in many ways, a major one is that enemies pop out of nowhere. Now if this was a non-stop action game that would be OK, but your guy is kinda fragile and it takes a lot of shots to kill even the smallest bad guy. Now you clear a room assuming no one can come from a direction and sure enough, as soon as you turn around they spawn at predermined places. This can really ruin your run at the game if they happen to do this right next to you (they will also do spawn just outside your field of vision, to ensure surprise I guess).
Combine that with a horrible jumping interface, very low ammunition limits, very few guns, useless hand to hand combat (anyone actually uses that in this game?), and the ability to save only at checkpoints and you have a very frustrating game on your hands.
TKing enemies is fun, but not that fun.

PSI-Ops is a third-person shooter, which seem to come out in droves these days. To be exact it’s a futuristic styled third person shooter where bad guys want to take over the world. To be honest, the story is pathetic; the developers tried to make a good “conspiracy” theme here, but it’s laughable. The sound effects are good enoug–the speech is pretty good too–and the game looks good. Not Doom 3 good, but visually the game holds its own. Now onto the gameplay.
I, for one, was thinking of buying games for my newly purchased Xbox (not XBox, as many dumb folks think–on a side note, people who say XBox piss me off to no end) console. I sifted options through my mind, coming upon PSI-Ops as my choice. I figured “What the hey–it looks like something new, and I’ll be damned if I don’t think games are getting really stale these days (points at Madden 2005, Madden Rip-Off 2005, 3000 Generic Platformers, and THUG 2).” So, I ran off to Ebgames, picked me up PSI-Ops and Max Payne 2, and ran home, eager to play.
So, I start to play, and it’s pretty cool. The PSI power element, in paticular Telekinesis (the ability to throw things with your mind) adds an awesome element. Most of the other powers are pretty crappy, but Telekinesis is well implemented and is cool. So, I continue to play. As I delve further and further into the game, I start to realize this game isn’t revolutionary at all. Sure there’s the PSI powers, but under those is a cliched, generic 3rd person action shooter design. Note the availability of only five generic weapons (Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Machine Gun…and the Pistol), which hurts gameplay a lot, given that all the weapons suck. I suppose the developers thought this would make the player use the PSI powers…but here’s the problem.
As the game goes on, the design, is terrible and cheap as hell. They put enemies in the game that can’t be lifted with TK, and take five shots with a sniper rifle to kill. They put these guys all over the place, to cover the fact that their A.I. engine sucks. It is this cheap and cliched design that killed PSI-Ops for me. While fun for a while, it just spirals into generic 3rd person shooter-dom. Worth my 20 dollars? Probably, if only to throw guys against walls using TK. Worth the hours I spent to beat it? No, I actually want them back. The game is completely trashed by cheap ass design. It’s a damn shame really, but it’s a fact: I’m officially sick of dying five times because of restrictions the developers put on me. With PSI-Ops, it’s a sort of 1 step forward, 2 steps back deal. There’s TK, then linear level design, poor A.I., and restrictions placed on the use of TK. Argh! Another game nigh-ruined by cliches. 3/5.
Final comment: Don’t believe the hype from game mags. They play their games about 1/3 of the way through anyway. The game is worth a rental, if only for TK. Throwing stuff all over the place is an absolute blast, but alas, it does get old.

Originally entitled “Espionage,” Psi Ops is an unique new take on action gaming.The use of psi abilites makes the gamepley very interesting from the start.Being able to grab an enemy who is 50 feet away from you and slam him into a wall, light him on fire, control his mind, or make his brain explode “will” leave you satisfied.While the psi abilities are the main attraction of the game, there are also some exciting weapons and some really tough AI to be found in the game.With an astounding action filled line-up that includes: great AI,weapons,abilities and music,along with a great story and rock solid action, Psi Ops is more than your average weekend action romp, it is a truly unique and exciting gaming experience. I hope that this review has been helpful to you and that you enjoy this wonderful game. I thank you for your time.

This game is awesome! This game integrates shooting and stealth better than most other shooters out there. The graphics are great and the sound-effects are mind-blowing(pun-intended) It is also really cheap to buy. Unfortunatly, this game uses a lot of trial-and-error.
