Xbox Critic Reviews

It has been a while since I've had so much pure joy while playing a game.

In a world where third-person action shooters are a dime a dozen, this is one game that breaks all the rules. The intuitive controls, addictive Psi-Powers, non-linear design, and immersive story will keep you glued to your Xbox until the very end and have you stalking your game store for the inevitable sequel.

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy came out of left field, a relatively unknown game with a sketchy premise, but turned out to be a fantastic title that's well worth the time.

I wasn't expecting much more than a novelty act, to be honest. The well-implemented psychic elements in the game really make Psi-Ops stand out and provide a fun experience throughout.

You'll never get enough of picking up a soldier, watching him flail around, followed by throwing him into a wall. The rag doll physics help add to the diabolical pleasure as limbs fly all over the place when tossed from one part of the room to the other.

There is no other game like Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy out at the moment and it is one of the best action games to blast onto the scene in a long, long time. Do not let this one slip by you.

It was a nice breath of fresh air to have these telepathic abilities that worked so well with the game.

Unlike any title you've seen before, and will likely leave you breathless and craving more when the credits roll. [July 2004, p.110]

I was totally impressed with the gameplay from start to finish and I can safely say that not only do I highly recommend this game but I can't wait for the sequel.

Not for the timid, Psi-Ops features some flat-out nasty moments. Sneak up on enemies to drain their minds of psi energy and pop open their heads. Set some poor bastard on fire and he'll run around screaming.
