Reviews: Psychic World (サイキック・ワールド) - review by Games-X magazine

78% RATED

After an explosion at the lab of Dr Knavik all of his research animals and one of the two sisters hired to help are missing. The doc suggests that, in an effort to get her sister back Lucia must wear... a motorcycle helmet! Actually, it's an ESP booster and wearing It enables Lucia to perform mental tricks.

So that's your mission, rescue Cecile. Lucia, via the control pad, can move left/right, up through doors and ladders, down to squat and descend while one of the fire buttons allows her to jump.

Lucia moves horizontally through a varied landscape, sometimes beneath it into caverns and mini-worlds fighting off strange beasts. There are various weapons she can use represented by icons and are selected via your ESP attack window at the bottom of the screen. You begin with one icon but you can collect more as some beasts leave icons when they die.

Psychic World has four levels, excellent graphics and nice background sound with good spot effects. There is nothing overly original about the game, but It can still be recommended to while away an idle hour.
