5.0 out of 5 stars Get it While You Can, August 23, 2006

This review is from: Psychic Detective (Video Game)

My brother received this game YEARS ago as a gift from a friend, and it gets harder and harder to locate as time goes by, so if you are considering this game, grab it while it is still available.

I have to disagree with the review that called this game boring. Since there is little review on the game plot, I will try to explain it here.

At the start of the game you are hired by a mysterious woman to accompany her to a family gathering, a wake for her recently deceased father. There is a murder at the house where the gathering is taking place, and you are in the wrong place, at the wrong time, sometimes with blood on your hands.

The scenes are filmed by real actors, and unlike other video games that offer alternate endings, in this game everything you touch and everyone who's head you take a ride in changes the entire rest of the game.

During game play, bubbles pop up on the side of the screen. When you touch an object, you view traumatic events associated with that object. Some bubbles are the faces of people in close proximity to you, you can walk around watching what they see, hearing what they say, etc.

The point of the game is to find four mysterious objects, learn the psychological strengths and weaknesses of those involved and play one powerful psychic in a mental game called "Black Diamond". There are multiple endings to the game, and my siblings and I have played the game again and again and again in an effort to get them all.

I find that this game has maximum playability, there are so many different options. I wish more games were made of this quality, this much playing time, so many alternatives to gameplay and as much thought given to plotlines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique, one-of-a-kind Experience!, January 5, 2009

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Psychic Detective (Video Game)

This game is incredible that there is absolutly no game even close to it anywhere in the world. You get to jump into other people's heads & see through their eyes, where they go, who they see, meet & talk to. This gives you tons of optional paths which means you'll get to play a different game almost every time! Incredibly inventive! Sad to say thumbing through my video game magazine there's yet another of a zillion boring shooters on every other page. But Psychic Detective like so few other offers a real change of pace. If you enjoyed Zork, Tex Murphy, Phantasmagoria, Amber, Calahan's Saloon, Toonstruck & other cozy cuddly hot-chocolate type winter games, you'll love the unique experience of this amazing head-hopping detective adventure!

This is one of the Worst games ever. I would give it away for free. I am not kidding guys it is really really bad. The picture is distorted on newer tv's. The Characters/actors are just plain cheesy. I would strongly recommend not one buy this. Not wanting to waste my money I tried to give it ago it was almost painful and I ended up just turning off the tv and walking away. $20 down the drain :(
