Borrowing heavily from Japanese sci-fi animation films likeAkira,Galeriansis a survival horror game with a twist. As Rion,  a 14-year-old boy with powerful psychic abilities but no memories, players must  explore a hostile cyberpunk world to unearth clues about Rion's mysterious  past.While gameplay mostly consists of exploration, combat, and puzzle solving,  Rion's powers add an inspired--although somewhat disturbing--gameplay twist. In  order to perform psychic attacks, Rion must inject himself with various  chemicals. However, excessive use of his powers have an adverse effect on his  health, which forces our adolescent junkie to ingest pills to counter the side  effects.AlthoughGalerians's stylized, computer-generated cut scenes give the  game a cinematic feel, there's an odd sense of discontinuity in this game. This  is mostly caused by an annoying pause that occurs when your character moves  between fixed camera viewpoints. In addition, there is a total lack of  transitional graphics during the disc load times, which occur when Rion is  opening doors and such.--Joe HonPros:Intriguing storylineInspired--although somewhat disturbing--gameplay twistCons:Annoying pause when moving between fixed camera viewpointsLack of transitional graphics during load times between areas
