Fun fact about the tutorial, you can sneak in and find a rifle with live ammo, walk out with it and you're told you're not supposed to have that and you should go put it back. If you don't and start shooting guards, they'll spawn infinitely until you're dead, after which you get a special game over where the doctor is in an interrogation room while some voice is asking him what he was thinking and what he thought he was going to accomplish.

Another fun fact, If you hack the game and have all superpowers at that level (I used action replay) you can noclip through walls. In the same room with the assault rifle you can noclip the wall the stock of the rifle is facing. Then use projection and run out and will fall through the void. Then eventually will land near those lights you see in the game over cutscene as well as the interrogation room and its reflection room. You can noclip by using psi blast and clicking the use the wall as cover button at the same time. I do it on gamecube not sure if it works for other consoles.

I love the cuts to the physics objects having a stroke

I’m not sure many people are aware of this, but Free Radical were made up of a large amount of the team that made GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. That is one insanely gold-plated heritage right there. And Second Sight easily deserves to be viewed on the same level as those games. It was tremendous, inventive fun and one of my favourite games on PS2. I managed to sink countless hours into replaying every level and finding different ways to complete each one. I’d love to play this again on PC some day... fingers crossed for a digital release.

I do not know if this happens in the PC port but in the PS2 version you could break the movement tutorial flashback by running backwards where you are supposed to go. There is a room with an machine gun that you can use to shoot the soldiers, John remarks on picking up the rifle that he definitely shouldn't be using it. Then when you find the soldiers you then just shoot them, the base goes into alert and John says to himself: "Maybe I am a psychopath." Then as you get gunned down by the soldiers the flashback ends like you got through it. At least that's what I remember, I should check it some day.

To be more precise, all versions let you get the gun, if the LMG user catches you with it equipped on your way to the training he will tell you to give it to him. If you don't, or if you smuggle it onto the course, you can go on a killing spree until the end, where the invulnerable WinterICE team would mercilessly gun you down. The game over scene then has the Big Bad talk about how you slaughtered them.

I remember I bought this game on PS2 back in the day and it was one of my favorite games. I always thought Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy was the better psychic game, but this had a charm of it's own.

This is the first review i've seen of this game. This game was a total time sink for me back in the day when I was a teenager and I loved every second of it. Good to see it getting the recognition it totally deserves.

The character design and mocap animations of Free Radicals games really hold up 15 years later. The characters have this action figure look that is kind of timeless in my opinion. Almost no modern game I 've played comes close to it.

There are definitely some things new games can learn from this game, the third person sniper camera is really unique.

I loved this game as a kid, got into it because I loved time splitters so much I got this after TS2, and the very first thing I noticed is that the music on the main menu takes a piano theme from the TS2 Siberia level

Just discovered your channel and DAMN I haven't touched Second Sight since I last played it on my OG Xbox in 2005! Just heard that Nordic Games got the rights to the Second Sight IP and I am STOKED for whatever they have planned for the game.

This game takes place in 1999, when DVDs, floppy disks and boxy monitors were still a thing. Amazing.

I really love the twist and how it's stated in such a silly way. "wait a minute, today wasn't yesterday, it's today!"

i have just finished it and i'm sorry i didn't beat it back in the 2000's it's very fun, restrains from cheesy scenes, tries to have different aproaches to beating a mission ect. plus you can see that the guys who made it cared, the easter egs level through the roof (my fav the internet chat with the wife)

"Loud noises, Scaring me!" Has been permanently encoded straight on my brain stem after I got stuck in the asylum as a youth.

Great review man! you showed me a lot of things ive never thought of doing before. Im going back to play it.

I love your reviews... I dont know why, but you make 30, 60 mins fly by in the wink of an eye! In that time I feel like I've somehow experienced and digested a game for all its pros or faults through you, I really enjoy it!

I'm honestly impressed how much thought and effort you put into these reviews. Gaming content of this length rarely has this level of quality, and that's if they have any editing at all.

I played this back in the day when game tap was just starting the idea of streaming games. I still consider the ending one of the best twists I’ve ever encountered in a game. Perhaps more observant people saw it coming but for me at the time I had my mind blown on the same scale as the “would you kindly” reveal in Bioshock.

Finally cleared this one out of my backlog yesterday. Short but sweet. I feel like one could easily blaze through a lot of these missions the second time around, once you know exactly where to go and what to do (I admittedly had to pull up a FAQ to figure out how to play the movie file on the office computer--I didn't know I could drag-and-drop items to the video disk like a real computer). By the time I was maybe five or six missions in, I basically ended up playing this like it was Syphon Filter with an infinite health/stealth camoflauge resource--you weren't kidding about Charm being OP.

Second sight was one of my favorite games as a kid

Is it possible to feel nostalgic for a game you’ve never played before? I’ve never heard of this or Timesplitters but something about the look gives me a very specific early 2000’s PS2 vibe. I don’t mean the graphical quality, it’s the art direction: it’s so “of its era” and something about it is so reminiscent of the kinds of games I played as a kid.

20:11 That was thoughtful of you to tranq that guy before he hit the ground.

I loved this game

24:00 a bit late, but you can actually open the door on the security check by using telekinesis, there's no need to wait for a guard to open it.

I played this on PC on GameTap back in the day. The thing that stuck with me was that it evolves into a cover shooter at the end. One of the earliest examples of one I can remember playing through.

I literally didn't even notice the ratio 'til you mentioned it

This game was super awesome to me when i was growing up.

I honestly adore this game, tbh.

Just watching this, I learned lots of new stuff about the game that I never discovered myself. I didn’t know there was arcade mini games, I didn’t know you could possess your own squad mates, nor about certain things in that streetlife level. In that last level of the game, do you know that you can use charm to sneak past one wave of psi soldiers? You don’t have to fight them. Fighting those in the scaffolding area, was fairly fun for me too. I just picked them up with telekinesis and dropped them down. I generally agree with your assessment of the levels, but I thought the last level was decent enough. I wasn't a big fan of the stealth in the game, mainly because I found the camera to be hugely irritating. You couldn't see past the threshold of most doorways, meaning you were pretty much forced to use charm or projection in a lot of cases, to see what was there. I did love using those powers, though. But something else that bothered me, was how the loud guns would rarely alert the guards. You didn't even need to use the tranq gun a lot of the time, despite it being OP, because the guards wouldn't be alerted either way.

the good ole shoot people through the locker holes. also i believe in one of the first levels u can go through a door by iether waiting for a long timer like 30 min plus or u can find the key code and as i kid i had to wait that time haha!

Johns horrible attitude made me laugh me a few times

I loved this game.

This game was so cool I wish there was a sequel.

Still think it's insane that these people put all of Timesplitters 2 inside Homefront The Revolution just for goofs.

fun fact about second sight and psy-ops releasing at the same time. I was introduced to both games when they were both on the same demo disc with Official PlayStation Magazine Australia. silent hill 4 and starwars battlefront were also on the same disc

This game reminds me so much of Geist

This game is genuinely one of the greatedt titles i ever played

I own this on Gamecube and absolutely love the game. I hated it when I first started because it CAN seem a little obtuse with what you're supposed to do, but I played it in 2015 and I was used to modern game design at that point. By the time I finished it I was wanting more of it, the escort missions in the game are still extremely annoying but regardless it's a very fun game and definitely worth a play, speaking as someone who enjoys unique retro games.
