 Geist Review for GameCube - Gaming Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Geist, if nothing else, tells an intriguing story which attempts to propel the gameplay to new heights.
Geist is a first-person shooter at its heart with standard controls like those in Halo and countless other shooters.
Geist is worthy of a rental if you’re really curious, but I think most gamers will come away disappointed.

 Geist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geist is German for mind, spirit or ghost.
Geist is a component of several German loanwords such as Zeitgeist, the spirit of the time or collective unconscious, and poltergeist, the mischievous ghosts that are believed to make noises.
The English words "ghost" and "guest" are said to have descended from the German Geist due to the Northern pagan custom in which the ancestral spirits were invited as honored guests.

 Fear Realized: Geist *56k* - Reviews - Nintendo NSider Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Geist is a game that heavily focuses on your possession ability, and in each area of every level you encounter, you will see a lot of detail in the objects around you.
Geist does have its shortcomings with lack of detail in some character models and level design, but in all honesty, they are easy to look past with the entertainment value this game has.
Geist is without a doubt one of the most unique titles from Nintendo to grace their console since it was launched.

 Geist | EBgames.com
Geist's single-player adventure is fairly short and should take you maybe 10 hours or fewer to complete, but it's got a good amount of variety.
Geist's multiplayer portion is subject to the same relative strengths and weaknesses as the rest of the game.
Geist has a good selection of different weapons in it, so this is a decent deathmatch mode with a twist.

 Planet GameCube Review: Geist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Geist is another addition to this fledgling genre and combines the typical shooting aspects with puzzle solving and storytelling.
Geist is a first person adventure, and this is evident from almost the first moment you play it.
Geist weaves a compelling story, which is delivered both in-game and through cut scenes.

 First Impressions - Geist // Gamecube /// Eurogamer
Geist is a first-person shooter played from the perspective of an ethereal weakling, which sees you wafting through the hallways and labs of subterranean-military-installation-du-jour possessing things in an effort to open doors and find out what's happened to you and, presumably, how to reverse it.
Geist's hook, of course, is that you have to possess lots of different things in order to make progress.
None of this is to say that Geist developer n-Space hasn't got plenty of tricks up its sleeve (being able to detonate grenades in mid-air by actually becoming them is a neat trick, after all), but there's far more that we recognise at this point than we don't.

 Geist Review - GamersHell.com
Geist kicks off with a cut scene explaining that a company called Volks Corporation is under suspicion of tampering with cell modifications.
Geist almost falls outside the realms of consideration in terms of the first-person shooter genre, especially since shooting is hardly where the game places its emphasis.
In conclusion, Geist is an original videogame that unfortunately lacks the overall power and control mechanics to emerge as the game it could easily have become.

 Geist (cube: 2005): Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It is Geist's multiplayer component that manages to outshine the single player game, delivering a tremendously entertaining multiplayer experience, and fun to be had by all involved.
The simple truth is that Geist doesn't look quite as good as it could or run as smoothly as it should, and the latter problem occasionally has a detrimental bearing on gunplay.
Geist is a game that has some really well executed and original gameplay ideas only to get hurt by some technical issues.

 Geist Preview for GameCube at Gaming Horizon
That’s what Geist, the mostly first-person shooter coming in August for the GameCube, is all about.
Geist’s interface and control scheme is sharpened down to a real noticeable level of precision.
Geist also includes a two to four-player split screen multiplayer mode, which is less about spirits and possessing things and more about just running around and killing your friends, though some possession elements are carried over for a dash of flavor, like the ability to take over giant turrets and cannons.

First impressions of the game two years ago was that it had potential, but that it’s developer didn’t have the experience to execute some of the very cool ideas it has.
Geist sounds great in theory — possess humans and animals, haunt hallways and shoot-em-up action — but it just doesn’t play all that well, sadly.
Overall, Geist still has some promise — n-Space has some great ideas here — but it’s just not up to part with any other first-person offerings out there, or at least up to par with the ones it should be.

 Geist - GameCube (GC) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
There are only two ways to die: the body Raimi jacked runs out of health or your spiritual energy runs to zero when in geist form.
The body jacking is pretty cool overall, because the gamer will often get an unexpected perspective on a situation such as behind a monitor or looking down the snout of a dog or rat, but the novelty of it wears off faster than you might think.
Geist easily looks at least year behind the times, especially when put side-by-side with Retro Studios’s Metroid Prime games or Resident Evil 4 (a high water mark when it comes to graphics on the GameCube).

 GameSpy: Geist Review
Developer n-Space and Nintendo are hoping to help change that with the release of Geist, a spectral shooter with more than a little adventure thrown in.
Geist is the story of John Raimi, a civilian scientist asked to help out a special counterterrorism task force in their investigation of the mysterious Volks Corporation.
What sets Geist apart from the rest of the FPS crowd is its innovative possession mechanic.

 Geist | PopMatters Multimedia Review
Geist thus forth dramatically shifts form, as the game focuses on the peculiar afterlife of John Raimi.
Apparently Volks has been exploring the notion of extricating the human spirit from its host body at the point of death, so that it can be harnessed, exploited, and manipulated towards all sorts of wicked evil.
Geist won't just steal your hard-earned cash, but also a bit of your time, your life, and well, your soul.

 Review - Geist // Gamecube /// Eurogamer
Although Geist's opening salvo gives you the impression that it's little more than a fairly uninspired FPS 'with a twist', the twist gradually evolves into something rather more interesting than being able to run around inside a dog, a bat, a rabbit or a rat.
At first, Geist makes it pretty easy for players to spook the populace, be it through allowing you to possess boxes, fixtures and fittings, and even dog bowls.
Essentially, this is where Geist turns into a simple run-and-gun into a charming puzzler, and the further you progress into the game, the less handholding there is, and the more enjoyable and challenging it becomes.

 Electronic Gaming Monthly: GEIST
Fortunately, this early dose of first-person blasting is short; Geist’s primitive shooting sections are less fun than sitting through that mid-’90s live-action Casper flick.
Geist, however, is a sloppy mess of nonsensical plot points, dumb puzzles (which often boil down to trial-and-error guessing), and yet more bland blasting sections toward the end of the game, when this whole ghost train really derails.
Geist’s three splitscreen multiplayer modes are certainly different—and fun.

For whatever reason, Geist's potential is clear to see, and while it remains satisfying, it just doesn't live up to it.
