We're especially fond of the nefarious Michael Clark Duncan clone - former pizza devouring trainer of Nick who now spends his off hours playing with gasoline trucks and the massive crates of every shooter's obligatory warehouse levels. These twists are of the typically predictable videogame variety, but the acting isn't half bad and the characters are laughably evil/seductive. Of course, there are a few twists along the way. The plan is for him to be captured by The Movement, which he'll then infiltrate after his memories are restored by another operative. In order to crush The Movement, an army of brainwashed meat puppets controlled telepathically by ex-Mindgate personnel, Nick is memory-wiped and dropped into a hopeless battle. Trained by the Government's Mindgate department, Nick is a telekinetic telepath who can also disembody himself and float through doors.

Nick's a normal guy, only he can kill you with his brain. But in this case, the benefits of a lethal cerebellum far outweigh the negatives of being a brightly burning flame that's perhaps a bit too ambitious. Psi-Ops still suffers from baffling design decisions and is an ultimately short-lived experience. Unfortunately, boasting the most well-developed psychic brain in action (a brain that's even better than those of the super-powered Jedi in games of a similar nature) doesn't imply perfection within the genre. It's a game that necessitates the use of its initially gimmicky psionic slant, but also provides gamers the option to approach situations with a little more finesse than its mundane competitors would. With Psi-Ops, Midway has managed to create a well-rounded third-person shooter with an optional stealth component.
