Damn - and I thought pre-ordering it for 30 bucks was a good deal. Looks like I should've just waited a few weeks... :(
Oh well - cool game so far, at least.

11 hours sounds like a good length to me. If it weren't for the upcoming TRU sale I'd be all over this.

Well, this is as big a save as the TRU sale will get you, unless it is a universal price drop.

I think he just meant that he is saving his money to buy other games in the TRU sale, not that he is buying Second Sight in the TRU sale.
Edit: This is a great price, I almost wish I hadn't done the pre-order deal, but at least GS didn't charge tax, so it is more like an $8 difference rather than $10.

Hi:
I jumped in when the price was $29.99. I highly recommend this game. Great story and great gameplay mechanics. There is some stealth but if you choose to, you can shoot your way out too. It's very free with what gameplay type you want to use.
For $20 it's a great bargin.

It may, but it might not include the bonus DVD at that point (that might matter to some people). If I didn't already have it, I'd buy it now for $20+tax for sure.

Very nice. I had ordered it through the CAG deal, then cancelled when I got buyer's remorse. Now I get a better deal and still with the bonus DVD, no less. Thanks for the post!

I beat Second Sight when I rented it on my BB Gaming Pass. Great game, I really enjoyed it from start to finish. It took me just about 8:45 to beat, but considering I died several times, I would give it about a 10 hour estimate for my playthrough. I tab it as a sleeper hit of 2004.
If you got some free time coming up for about a week, just may want to drop 5 bucks and beat it over a rental. But if you only got a few hours a week to game, I would jump all over this 20 dollar price.

Yea, this is just and temp sale like many of the daily price drops from eb. Esp. since the PS2 version is higher it really is just a temp drop. I'm annoyed that i pre-ordered, still was worth the 30 i paid.

Not every spends the time some of you complainers on these boards.. Get over it, at least these people are trying. I have been helped before by reposts, as well I'm sure others have also.

From the review I read, they're pretty much the same (both are much better than the PS2 version). So it boils down to what controller you like best or, in my case, I just like to give the Cube third party support.

There's going to be a LOT of games that nosedive in price this season. There's *so many* games coming out, that the only way to stand out among the noise is to be Halo 2 or GTA, market to a "known" audience (Katamari), or be cheap. A lot of games are going to think they can stand out, but then drop like a rock after initial sales figures come out.

And you may want to find out how many blocks it takes up on a memory card.

Hi:
I actually just finished this game 5 minutes ago. I was very impressed with the voice acting and the story itself. There are two stories being told at the same time which is a great plot device. It revolves around a scientist being asked to go to Russia to help find a Doctor who has been doing some kind of experiments and they need the scientist. to help figure out what's going on. The gameplay is third person action/stealth. I hate stealth games so I choose to play the game wih a more run and gun style. The game does not force you to play any one particular style. If you like stealth you can sneak around. If you like gunning you can do that too. I completed the game in 5:36 which is VERY short. I know some people said the game will take 8 hours but I did it in 5 and a half.

The GameCube version got a higher rating at gamerankings.com than both the PS2 and XBox version, so you know which one I would recommend. And as someone else pointed out, the GC could use the support.
The game uses 5 blocks on a GC memory card.
Josef

Outpost.com now has the PS2 and XBox versions listed at $19.99 as well (no sign of the GC version at Outpost). This may be a universal drop.

It appears the DVD bonus is also online only, as 4 EB B&M stores around my home do not have the bonus dvd; employees are either unaware, or said it was probably a pre-order bonus.
I wanna get this game of the Cube, but I have a strong feeling it will drop even lower than this.

How are the psychic powers handled? Is it hard to choose your target as from what I've read it automatically highlights objects you can alter in the world (auto-aim).
Are there lots of grief inducing points because of the controls?

Shame to see this drop in price so quickly. Partly because I could've saved an extra 10 bucks had I waited a month, of course. :? But also because it's a pretty cool game, IMHO, and it's a shame to see it be the first major casualty of this fall's season already.
Though I suspect it won't be the only worthy game to suffer that ignominous fate this year... :(

On the Xbox version, you use the D-pad to cycle through your weapons and psi powers (game auto-pauses while you select, a la MGS); hold the L trigger to auto-target whoever or whatever's in front of you; use the right thumbstick to move the targeting cursor and lock onto a different target. With weapons, you also use the right thumbstick to adjust your aim to go for those all-important headshots. 8) A highlighting circle does appear over objects you can affect with your selected power / gun, which both simplifies using the auto-aim and makes sure you don't try to waste your abilities on static objects. I presume the GC & PS2 versions work basically identically.
It can be a bit of a pain when there are multiple targets and you're trying to pick a specific one; or if you're trying to target someone above or below you. [I kinda wish there was a cycle-targets button, but that's a bit of a nitpick.] But for the most part, the controls work pretty well - I'm roughly 2/3 of the way through and I don't recall any moments of controller-hurling frustration. If anything, I half-expected to read more bitching / whining from the self-appointed hArDk0r3 gamers that the autoaim makes things a little too easy...

Well, I'd be all over this if I hadn't already done the original CAG gamestop deal, and that shit went incredibly sour, I'm still waiting for them to ship out my bonus disc as it was missing from my original order.
It's nice to see that gamestop.com made the choice painfully obvious who I should give my future business to, I'm never ordering from them again.

Buy the big titles, ignore the better, lesser known titles, then buy in bulk when they all hit 19, ala Beyond Good and Evil and Prince of Persia!
NO ONE buy Prince of Persia: Warrior Within for 49! If I can't get it for 19 by January, i'll be pissed! :P

Yep just got my Xbox version, this is a very cool game so far. The voice acting is great, the guy playing John Vattic sounds suitably weird and paranoid, and the story is pretty intriguing too. A really solid $20 game.

I thought last year's rush of holiday games was bad...but this year is much worse. Expect a TON of games to pull a 'Second Sight' on us.
