Psi Ops - The Mindgate Conspiracy - PS2 (RESTART)

Nick Scryer is a soldier unlike any other. And much more than just a tough American, Nick is part of the Psi-Ops division, a section focused on the psychic and telekinetic powers of the mind for military purposes.

Scryer's mission is to infiltrate and take down a psychic terrorist organization known as 'The Movement'. An organization made up of dangerous, mentally advanced elements who have been kidnapping soldiers and manipulating their minds into unfeeling, incapable of thinking for themselves 'Flesh Puppets', and it's up to Scryer to put a stop to it. Since he'll be infiltrating an organization made up of mind-readers, extreme measures have been taken to ensure Nick isn't discovered.

Scryer had his mind wiped and his face completely altered to avoid being recognized by old acquaintances, which is why he is unaware of his psychic powers. He is then imprisoned after being captured by The Movement, and it is from prison that he is ready to become your personal flesh puppet.

Help Nick gradually rediscover his devastating mental abilities—including pyrokinesis (the power to manipulate fire), remote viewing (the ability to see through walls and doors), and mind control—in this surprising and highly original adventure from Midway.

It's Nick Scryer's psionic abilities that separate Psi-Ops - The Mindgate Conspiracy from the myriad of action adventures on the market. Abilities like telekinesis, which allows you to lift and throw objects - and even humans - are not only intuitive to control, but also a lot of fun. This is thanks to the brilliant physics engine called Havok, which allows all the elements of the environment to react realistically to your actions. Send a barrel into a pile of boxes and watch them all fall to the ground and break, 'catch' an enemy and you can slam him repeatedly against a wall or shoot him while he hangs helplessly in the air.

And that's just one of the powers available. Set an object on fire using pyrokinesis and use it to set all surrounding objects on fire, use mind control to take over an enemy and manipulate them into first eliminating their accomplices, then forcing them to throw themselves into a chasm, or surprise a Flesh Puppet from behind and drain its psionic powers with your mind, subsequently blowing its head off...

The possibilities are many and the game does not deny you the ability to improvise with what you have. Need to cross an empty space with many armed and shooting enemies located on the other side? Well, you could create a bridge by putting together the objects around you, as well as slide on an appropriately shaped object, or use mind control to get rid of the threat looming in the distance and then calmly walk around the cavity. It's all up to you.

Characteristics:

• Wield six powerful psionic powers - Telekinesis, pyrokinesis, mind control, mind draining, remote viewing, and aura vision.
• Open game structure - Solve puzzles and defeat enemies in any way you see fit.
• Realistic physics - Slam enemies across rooms, light fires, create blockades, or even 'slide' on objects.
