 Geist review: Possession may be nine-tenths of the Nintendo's new first person shooter, but the other one-tenth of the game could have used some extra work.

SwankWorld reviews 80%
 Geist review: Sure the levels are linear and the story mode can be cleared in a weekend, but the prospect of unlocking the multiplayer goodies may be enticing to some especially given the unique premise of the multiplayer game. Geist is equal portions innovation and average, but it definitely has its moments. - Brad Hicks (Dr. Swank),
Game Informer reviews 60%
 Geist review: Despite a few memorable sequences, the occasional good puzzle, and some barely adequate multiplayer modes, Geist fails in most respects. The game certainly doesn’t live up to the promise of its premise, and at the same time can’t manage to deliver even basic first-person action in a competent manner. I expect more from a Nintendo-published title, and so should you.

Snackbar-Games reviews
 Geist review: It's a delightful experience, and there are some laugh-out-loud moments and some truly twisted puzzles near the middle and end that make you wonder what they're smoking over there at N-Space. Overall, the game controls well, it's fun, and it's original. You can beat it in a rent, but the multiplayer might bring you back for a few rounds.
Eurogamer reviews 60%
 Geist review: As much as n-Space tries to do things a little differently, and as fun as it is to walk around in bodies that don't belong to you, too much of the game plays it by the same old rules. Much of the time, Geist just feels plain unremarkable, and although it's good enough for a weekend rental, you’d feel robbed of body and soul if you'd shelled out full price for it.
Gamer Within previews
 Geist preview: At this point in time, however, we remain optimistic as to whether Geist will be as good as we want it to be. While the premise is definitely interesting, there are just a few little niggling problems that could potentially ruin the experience. Naturally, only time will tell, and we’ll let you know our thoughts on Geist closer to launch. Stay tuned.

Game Chronicles reviews
 Geist review: Instead, it uses more stealth and manipulation to achieve goals and only a moderate level of firefights. Although it seems to have had potential, it lost that somewhere in development. With normal graphics, background music that tends to be forgotten, and low replay-ability, Geist is better off on the store shelves than in your Gamecube, at least until it hits the bargain bins.

 Geist review: Pros: - A completely different take on the paranormal game type- Carefully thought-out and rewarding puzzles and structure- A lot of good ideas in the plot and game design... Cons: - ...partly let down by some of the execution- Graphics engine struggles from time to time- Possession puzzles could have been more freeform

 Geist review: Sound: 6/10There’s not much to hear, and what there is isn’t exactly beautiful.Value: 7.5/10A short single-player game, but a fun and unique multiplayer experience.Total: 8/10Give the game a chance at the very least, but don’t expect too much, especially if you value technical quality.

 Geist review: If you enjoy action games but have grown tired of shooter after shooter after shooter, Geist will surely keep you occupied and entertained for a little while, despite its myriad flaws.

GameShark reviews 75%
 Geist review: Since the GameCube is so short on first-person shooter games, I’d have to recommend it to people who only own that system. Multi-system owners who have access to better shooters should probably stay away. But for the flashes of brilliance it does possess, Geist earns its B- score.
