Embark on a unique third person psychic adventure through the minds of misfits, monsters and madmen....For years, the Psychonauts have deployed their psychically-armed operatives all over the world, but this time trouble is brewing in their own boot camp.

Awesome!

Strengths: Outragouesly Funny Humor, Unqiue and Creative Enviorments, and an aboutsoultely amazing storyline!

Weakness: Somewhat Challegning Gameplay, but not very hard though

In Physconauts, The Player Controls 10 year old Raz, a kid with psychic powers, but forbidden to use his powers by his father. He then arrives at Whispering Rock Pyschic Summer Camp, where young psychics train to become Pyschonauts. He meets weird campers, horrifying monsters, and strange characters, that help him on his quest to become a Pyschonaut. The Gameplay includes a kind of "set-up your...

Psychonauts

Strengths: Graphics, story, and funny.

Weakness: Length of game.

This is one of the best platforming game ever. The story is funny and entertaining. It is a pretty short game. You can complete it around 13 hours. It has a funny storyline. I will definitely recommend to people who loves comedy and platforming games. If you like Jak series, you will like this game.

Most Unappreciated Game of the Year

Strengths: Great graphics, excellent voice work, the level designs are gorgeous, and the game is loaded with humor.

Weakness: Camera (like most 3D platformers), and the game can be short if you don't go for all the extras. Don't let these minor issues detract from your decision to buy this great game!

This game is packed with all you could want for graphical settings. The controls are fully customizable so you can use a keyboard/mouse combo or go with a gamepad. On the audio side the voice talent chosen for this game did a wonderful job. Sound and music are top notch as well. The level designs are very unique and distinctive from each other, and among some of the best I've seen. If you enjoy...

Psychonauts

Strengths: Graphics, sound, humor, storyline, hidden extras

Weakness: None

Psychonauts is one of the best and entertaining platformers I have played. The graphics are solid and the sound as well as the music is excellent. The storyline is very engaging and fun. Also, there are very few repetitive moments. This is a very well designed game. The best part of the game has got to be the humor. During the game, there are many parts in the dialog that you will find yourself...

a review

Strengths: Very comical. Graphics are decent. Sound effects are the game's biggest strength.

Weakness: Jokes and one liners fade later in the game but are still "ok" funny.

If it's still $50 in your area, wait until it drops in price. I am looking forward to Psychonauts 2. I rated this game 4 out of 5 stars.

Psychonauts

Strengths: Creative and entertaining platformer

Weakness: Game length

Psychonauts for the Xbox is a fantastic platforming game that is filled with humor. The game never really sold as well as it should have (probably due to a lack of advertising) which is a real shame as this and perhaps Voodoo Vince are about the only quality platforming games that I've ever played on the Xbox. The game allows you to play the character of Raz and follow his exploits in becoming a...

Psychonauts

Strengths: Filled to the brim with creativity, laughs, and charm. Pure fun to play and experience.

Weakness: Nothing really... although you might laugh so hard your head explodes. It's that funny and psychedelic.

Please, buy this game! This is the kind of creative and authentic effort that needs to be supported. Unfortunately, this game has been overlooked by mass audiences and it's a true shame. This game was designed with passion and care and it shows in the charismatic characters, clever levels, and hilarious story telling. There is a whole lot to appreciate. Essentially, the gameplay involves using...

The best role player in a while!!

Strengths: Great script and gameplay. If you longed for something to top Grim Fandango this is it. Can replay this game.

The game is funny and entertaining with great sequences. Gameplay is excellent with many twists and the characters are well thought of. Script is excellent. Great work from the creator of Grim Fandango.

Twisted Adventures through the Mind

Strengths: Humor, Humor, and lots of Humor Nice presentation

Weakness: Overall product lacks some polish

From the mind of gaming legend Tim Schafer comes his adventure of Raz's journey to become a Psychonaut. The game features Schafer's legendary brand of humor. Nearly every line backs some joke. This adds to the experience, giving you a reason to actually pay attention during scenes. The game overall works well. The graphics work well with the gameplay which works excellent the sound. The game...

Psychonauts

Strengths: Awesome gameplay, Good graphics, Very creative

Weakness: Nothing really, but the voices get kind of annoying after a while

This game is brilliant. It has one of the most creative and funniest gameplay that I have ever seen. Just in the beginning of the game I was laughing so much. Other than the funny factor of the game, this game is a great platformer. It has all the essential factors that you need to make a great game. It has awesome graphics, great story mode, and is challenging enough to keep you going. This is...

Psychonauts

Tim Schafer has a loyal legion of fanboys with good reason. The creator of PC classics Sam & Max and Grim Fandango is one of the most innovative game designers in the industry. Previously, Schafer worked at LucasArts, but left the company a half-decade ago to start his own company, Double Fine Productions. After a long journey that involved multiple publishers and a slow development process,...
