Metal Gear Solid - meets - Star Wars Jedi Knights
Though you can switch between two camera angles, one fixed (something like Resident Evil), the other a mouse-controlled system (like Max Payne), both of them in Second Sight have too many blind spots - intentional or unintentional, that renders the game unnecessarily difficult at times. Luckily, the innovative hybrid action between pure shooting and magic (psychic) powers allows more enjoyment to cover the complaints.
Your character in Second Sight is like Solid Snake-meets-Jedi Master, not only does he move and shoot like Snake, he shows off a grandmaster level of psychic prowess that'll make Yoda proud. Other than using the force on many occasions, he's able to charm friends and foes alike around him, what's more, he had the ability to possess enemy soldiers. Freaky, but fun.
I'd like to commend on the animations and voice work. The mocap animated characters move convincingly in the game, and their facial animations are quite Disney quality. The voice acting is also superb, like it's done for a movie. Overall, I enjoyed the little experience but the main gameplay does suffer from bad camera work and unbalanced checkpoints. Those who can look past these problems may find it a great stay-at-home weekend retreat.
