Publisher: Sega
Released: 1991
Psychic World is an action game that was first released on the MSX (1988) and then ported to the Sega Game Gear (1991).
+ Terrific level design (including multiple pathways to tackle certain areas) and Stage 2 has some tense set-pieces.+ Weapons are continually added to your arsenal and figuring out the best one to use is similar to the Mega Man series.
+ Environmental aspect of using power-ups to reach otherwise inaccessible areas adds a cool puzzle element.
- Brutal difficulty (compared to the handheld port) and you can find yourself stuck in the scenery and unable to progress.
- There's no grace period of temporary invincibility when you take damage, so your life can quickly be depleted.
- No checkpoints throughout and when you're kicked back to the start of the level your life isn't replenished.
- Many cutbacks and missing several stages from the MSX original, making for an incomplete experience.
