Psychonauts

Psychonauts was one of the best buys I have made. This game simply delivers. The surrealist graphics greatly augment the weird sense of humour. The plot is nice. The level design is simply amazing. Black Velvetopia could be describe as "scenery porn", The Milkman Conspiracy is the best level in the whole game imo, Lungfishopolis plays the Godzilla parody perfectly and the other levels rock too. Simply, just buy this game. The only downside is the final level. It is horrible. The game was rushed, and the last bit suffered. But the remaining 90% worths the 10 bucks for this game.

Psychonauts is one of those few platformers were everything is pretty much perfect. The control scheme is simple, responsive and fluid, the in-game powers are useful and inventive, The characters are dynamic and engaging and the storyline is both immersive and entertaining. Psychonauts is a truly great game, with only two glaring problems. Problem number one is that it is too easy. A lot of platformers are known for being notoriously difficult, but playing Psychonauts is like taking candy from a baby. With no arms. Problem number two is that it's too short. I don't know about anyone else, but I finished this game's story in under 10 hours. It'd probably take a lot longer trying to go for 100% completion, but after there's no story to see, some of the fun just isn't there anymore. In short; Psychonauts is a great game. It's just too short and easy for it's own good.

I absolutely loved this game! It is one of the most hilarious games I have ever played. It will have you laughing the whole way through. The platforming is good. Not the best, but it's still a blast. The story is ridiculous but fun, and characters are all cute (or sometimes morbid), interesting, and just super funny. It's just a weird, quirky, and incredible game! Play it! You will not be disappointed!

If you havn't played this game you need to. It's funny and gorgeous. I garuntee that you haven't played a game like this before. I own this game on the xbox 360, so I can't attest to the controls of the PC version, however anyone who enjoys funny, platforming goodness will love this game.

You know how some games are great and some are just kinda average? Yeah? Well this game is better than those great ones. This is how games should be developed. Totally different, fun and creative. The graphics still look relatively good even by today's standards and the gameplay is smooth and fluid. The interface is basic and intuitive and it's simple to get the hang of. Basically, if you haven't played this game then you haven't played one of the greatest games ever written or designed. I can't even say anything bad about it - it's just too good. And, for the record, I never played this when it first came out so this isn't even a rose-tinted nostalgic review. This is a great, great game indeed.
