From the famitsu thread:

PS2 Psi-Ops 　9988 (34/40)

1. It was released this year in Japan
2. It rocks even harder and has a better boxart
3. ????
4. GOTY

 

[Kon Tiki]

Couldn't you know, post this in that thread?

 

[Matlock]

This is a sexy Psi-Ops party!

 

[Raiden]

I smell O RLY time..

 

[bitwise]

post the jap boxart

edit: o u did

 

[=W=]

I found Psi-Ops mechanics to be clunky and the level design and artwork boring. But whatever floats your boat!

Awesome avatar!

 

[Doom_Bringer]

the game just fell apart towards the end. To be continued? HAHaahaha Nice use of physics though, somewhat entertaining game.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Wow, they got the SNK/Capcom artist to do art for it? That's pretty sweet.

 

[LakeEarth]

They must've given the grade before they made it to the end... the ending is so great...

Spoiler

We finally beat the general guy...wait a minute, my amnesia is magically gone!! I understand the plot to this game! You see.... Oh no a helicopter, run...wait... (raises hand) ... TO BE CONTINUED!!!

I did enjoy the game, but I really hope there's no sequel just to make the ending all the more incredible.

 

[Brannon]

The game isn't perfect, and in fact has quite a few flaws, but damnit, it was fun as fuck. Some of those sections were awesome, especially the particle accelerator area.

Had they only left out the aura beasts... motherFUCKERS.

 

[Geek]

Shame that I'll never get to play Psi-Ops.

 

[Brannon]

Why not?

Ops is on the list of banned videogame title words. Meaning, I'm not allowed to buy any game with the following in the title:

Ops
Legacy
Effect
Rogue
Operation
Project
Elite
Unleashed

I'm pretty comfortable with it, but occasionally some good things wind up on the list. I'll survive.

Seems like it. I thought I accidnetally clicked on a KOF Rebout thread when I first saw the pic.

Why would those be banned and by who? Seems pretty silly.

 

[Brannon]

So the new game "Operation Rogue Ops: Project 'Elite Legacy' Unleashed" probably isn't going to be in your library, huh?

On a serious note, I would totally print that as new box art for Psi-Ops.

 

[Geek]

The list is my own and I abide by my own rules. It's a pretty good system. It keeps my focus away from generic stealth/shooters with that design-by-the-marketing-department feel about them.

This could be a real game some day.

Back on topic! Psi-Ops is Matlock's GOTY!

This, from a man excited for Shadow the Hedgehog.

Ladies, gentlemen, I've found someone with shittier taste than I.

You ABSOLUTELY have me confused with someone else. That, or you are attempting to engage in a smear campaign against me.

I take great offense to being lumped in with this sort of barbaric videogame fan. I expect a written apology on my desk by 5.

So you've missed out on...
Psi-Ops
Legacy of Kain
Fear Effect
Rogue Squadron
Operation C (Contra)
Project Gotham Racing

Can't think of any good games with Elite or Unleashed in the title.

Not out yet, but it's Jaws, it has to be good. :lol

Elite is an actual game, classic space sim, incredible game in its day. Unleashed... yea avoiding that seems to be a safe bet so far.

 

[LakeEarth]

HOW'D I FORGET ELITE?!?

(jumps off bridge)

 

[ohamsie]

It was the best crate lifting sim I have ever played.

 

[Wario64]

I see.

 

[Mrbob]

What is psiops?

I went to dictionary.com and this is what I found:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=psiops

No entry found for psiops

Did you mean poops?

Wow must be really bad.....

 

[gamergirly]

Every game released in this year is a game of the year(goty)

 

[Troidal]

Do I see Itagaki in that artwork? :lol

 

[White Man]

It's no Warriors.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Psi-ops FUCKING ROCKS. It is the perfect remedy for shooteritis.

Oh hello there sniper. You are waiting for me to come around the corner to shoot me from your tower, are you? Well how about I possess you and make you leap off the tower screaming to your death? Or how about you, Mr. Scientist? How about throwing yourself into that furnace? Or you, shock trooper? How about I pick you up with the power OF MY MIND, shoot you a few times so you drop your gat, and throw you into an exploding barrel?

The exploding heads rock BTW.

GREAT game -- and very smooth on Xbox (60fps, ahhh).

 

[Kiriku]

Psi-Ops rocks! Surprisingly enough, I might add. A Midway game actually being good!? I was shocked.
About the game...I never really got bored of fooling around with the psychic powers...great fun. Also really entertaining to play in co-op.

I never finished the game though...ran into a bug towards the end that made it impossible to beat a boss. :/

Yup!

Definitely better than HL2 for your physics based gameplay.

Too bad the last chapter was pretty poor compared to the rest.

 

[mrmyth]

No GOTY would ever contain the Temple level or enemies as shitty as Aura Beasts. They're like fucking infinitely spawning Flood that can smell you coming. Sucked all the fun out of the game for me, and I was having a rockin' time up until then.
The Barret bossfight was one of my better gaming experiences ever.

 

[TTP]

QFT.

I'm really curious to see what the team will come up with the next-gen game Stanglehold they are working on.

Wasn't Doom 1's subtitle 'Evil Unleashed'?

Also, Aura Beasts FTL.

 

[DCharlie]

according to the import store that had the ps2 version in stock, the Japanese version has certain aspects of the game cut (!?)

So...you rent games too, right.

 

[boutrosinit]

Mattlock and Sho Nuff have excellent taste.
