 Second Sight Q&A - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
Second Sight is a clear change of pace for the developer and offers a third-person, story-driven action experience that's quite different from the FPS genre.
Second Sight is about as far away as you could get from the games Free Radical is known for.
Notably, we didn't have multiplayer to deal with in Second Sight, but on the other hand, we were creating a considerably deeper single-player adventure narrative experience that necessitates dealing more fully with the player's exploration of the game environment.

 Second Sight - review - play™
Riding the back of the psi-power bandwagon, Second Sight places you in control of sceptic scientist John Vattic, who in a rather unoriginal fashion awakes to discover that he's lost his memory.
One of the strengths of Second Sight is that you're not forced down a linear route or spoon fed with not-so-subtle hints on the best route of action; most situations have more than one solution.
Also in opposition to the generally consistent world that Second Sight offers are the feather-like wooden crates and furniture that are sent toppling across the room with even the most casual of touches.

 Second Sight (ps2: 2004): Reviews
Forced stealth quibbles and slightly iffy physics aside, Second Sight's offering of a decently complex story (or as complex as you're going to get for an 8-10 hour action game) with a couple of twists and a silky smooth, high-budget presentation is one of the best Free Radical has pulled off to date.
Second Sight's absorbing plot and high-quality cinematic presentation are backed up with tight and entertaining gameplay.
Second Sight’s fair share of nice touches (such as weapons handling and level design) demonstrate terrific attention to detail.

 Second Sight - review - play™
And while I had my suspicions, despite its clichéd beginning Second Sight delivers an engaging and adequately inventive plot, a story which was strong enough to ensure I wanted to discover its conclusion.
Second Sight's biggest crime, one which is inexcusable in any form and utterly reprehensible when it is so out of control as it is here, is respawning enemies.
So while Second Sight is frequently different from other examples of the genre I never felt that the developers had truly exploited the possibilities that these supernatural powers could offer.

A patient first has a consultation with their local optometrist, who scans, measures and - if the eye is free of irregular astigmatism (elongation) - approves the patient for refractive surgery.
The flap is then folded back and swabbed back into place, given a few seconds to cure, and vision is fixed in less than five minutes.

Such is the case with Second Sight; its gameplay mechanics are so similar to Psi Ops, but it doesn't quite measure up.
While you can do this in Second Sight, your psi power bar drains so fast and the enemies require such an immense beating before they die that it is easier — and often required — to use your guns.
The second problem is that you can do what I just mentioned and simply use brute force to blast your way through these "stealthy" areas.

 Second Sight - ps2 Review - Game Revolution
Developed by Free Radical Design (famous for the Timesplitters series), Second Sight is essentially Psi Ops with some serious design flaws and a trippy plot.
The episodes in Second Sight that deal with Jane and John attempting to help each other cope with their mutual lack of identity in a hostile world are excellent, but in a weak turn of events, Jane gets kidnapped and essentially disappears from the plot.
Even though Second Sight effectively incorporates plot elements into the gameplay, the loss of the romantic element is fatal; without it the plot quickly becomes tedious and predictable.
