Doesn't deserve "cult classic" status
I remember buying this for the Gamecube when it first came out and returning it because you couldn't invert the Y-axis controls. Years later I decided to try it out since you can actually do that with the PC version, and I have no idea why various sites/reviews call this a "cult classic." Second Sight is an objectively bad game. Its controls and camera are some of the worst I've ever experienced in a 3rd-person shooter, the actual gameplay is extremely unfun, and the supposedly great story is incredibly generic and contains some of the worst writing and voice acting you could imagine. There is NO saving; if you aren't down to muddle your way through an entire level which may take over an hour with how bad the camera/controls/gameplay are, you'll have to restart from the beginning if you leave the game before completing a mission. This is compounded by the game's awful checkpoint system, which will dump you way back in a level if you die or restart, which you will, a lot, either because of the terrible basics of the game or its myriad bugs. Stay away, I'm requesting a refund even though I bought it for $5 on sale.
Is this helpful to you?
