The first level in the game is the best part, but it slowly gets worse. Three of the four levels are great, and each one is a bit different. Escaping from a hospital, exploring your home and finding out who you were, and being a detective in a hotel following a string of murders using your psychic powers. The main issue with the game comes from half the boss fights; they're trial-and-error bullshit that wouldn't be hard at all if it weren't for the fact that this game utilizes tank controls. These controls are fine for the majority of the game; it's just those sections where you feel like grinding your teeth with a belt sander. The final level also decided to mostly focus on combat and is just a tower where you fight a few enemies on each floor before reaching the top, when the game before hand never focused intensely on combat. There are a lot of good ideas, especially in the story and atmosphere, but they fall flat in areas that just make it an okay PlayStation 1 game.
