I'll be honest, I'd forgotten how strange this game was.
The surprise when replaying it now was that while I can't say it wasthan I remembered, it is a hell of a lot weirder. I was planning to mock it for its silliness, like the fact that main character Agent Cain's superpower is essentially being the personification of the '90s. He wears silly shades. He looks like he fell right out of a Dark Age comic called something like Musclebuster. He's voiced by Ice-T.
The premise is that psionic powers have been discovered and are now spreading, with Agent Cain working for the department responsible for handling them. Who's your first target? A woman who runs an evil psychic hotline, whose attempts to get Cain to join her almost immediately descend into insults about cupcakes. You get a mind-reading power, and just about everyone gets a secret to uncover. And later... well, I'll get to later in a minute.
Each of the bosses has their own theme, and by killing them you absorb their powers. Others are provided by cards dropped or otherwise unlocked during missions. Somewhat oddly, they're treated as being tradable in-game too, with people selling 'talents' and characters handing cards over that perform different actions, with a black-market for them.
Making this sillier, you're regularly expected to threaten people with a gun to make them do things, like open a security door. Hopefully word of this chip doesn't spread to the criminal underworld too quickly, because I foresee a few problems. You and two other contestants are put in deathtraps and asked questions, with the winner going on to face the boss in the final round. You get questions like"What's the name of the park in the middle of the city?" and"What is the origin of psychic powers?" He gets"Who is the sexiest man in the world?" just so he can preen and answer"Why, would it be me?" At this point, even Cain starts calling bullshit.
