Awarded an 8.5/10, here’s what IGN had to say about it at the time:
With Psi-Ops, Midway has managed to create a well-rounded third-person shooter with an optional stealth component. 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. 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. Psi-Ops still suffers from baffling design decisions and is an ultimately short-lived experience. 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.
Of course, we’ll get the complete lineup of PS Plus Extra games for the month to go along Psi-Ops. As Sony has been very consistent in only offering one PS Plus Premium title per month, it is unlikely subscribers will get anything other than the PS2 classic next week.
