A great game wrapped in a brilliant story

Psychonauts is quite likely the best platform game ever released on any platform.

The game is smart, funny, challenging and overwhelming creative. There is even a level seemingly dedicated to the artistic stylings of Mark Ryden.

I've enjoyed platform games like Ratchet and Clank, Jax, and Katamari Damaci, but Psychonauts leaves them all in the dust.

This title gets my highest recommendation.

A Delightful Romp Into the Game Character Psyche

Psychonauts was a great game to play. With the PlayStation, I believe it was easier to control than it would be on a PC, and with that being said, it still took awhile to get used to them. The designs for the many students (and eventual mental patients) stood out with so many games coming out with more realisticly rendered characters, this was like a breath of freash air. Each foray into the different characters minds was incredible. The Black Velvotopia stands formost in my mind with its black light highlights and the Milkman Conspiracy second with the world being so topsy turvy you have no idea which direction is truly up or down. Anyone a fan of Invader Zim can appreciate the voicework of Richard Horvitz in the lead role of Raz but all the voicework was topnotch and the comedy easily rolled from the great cast of characters. I wholly recommend this game to anyone looking for a interesting twist on an adventure game.

It's the narrative, the art, the range of ideas

I am just an old patent attorney, and don't always know what the kids like, but I loved this! Extremely creative. Fun for anyone who wishes they had powers of pyrokinesis and teleportation. A platform-shooter-puzzle-scavenger hunt game that is not brutally hard, but hard enough!

really fun game

I've just recently gotten my PS2 (1-2 months) and this is the third game I've rented. This game is great and the levels are very different from all the other level. For instance, one level you get to go on a ginat monster rampage. But if you happen to stop by Fred's mind (one of my favorites) you get to engage in a battle of wits by going into a gameboard and recruiting soliders and stuff to win the game. And my god, some of the humor on this game is sooooo funny. There's quite a few collectables, and your phsycic moves are pretty good. But let me just tell you though, if you're looking for "super big and powerful weapons to beat the living crap out of people" game then I reccomend for you something like Rachet and Clank or Destroy All Humans, since the main tactic you'll most likely use is either invisibility and pyrokinesis or Shield and pyrokinesis considering the fact of low offense selection. But still, I reccomend this game, and I do want to tell you what the final level is(It's freaky, I'll give you that.), but I don't want to spoil the fun.

So Much Awesome!!

I love Psychonauts, because it's so different from everything else. Double Fine may be a small company, but they know how to use what they have. Yes this game doesn't have the fancy graphics of, say, Final Fantasy (which I also like) but it's got a great story, interesting characters, amazing design, fantastic worlds and more. I really love this game.

A Must Have in Your PS2 Collection

Didn't know quite what to expect when I purchased this game, but based on positive reviews I took a chance...and I'm so happy I did. Psychonauts is now one of my all time favorite games!! Each world was a pure pleasure to explore, the game was entertaining and sufficiently challenging, and I loved all the humor. I really hope that the game creators will soon give us a sequel.

Get a copy while you can; I've recently read that they are no longer printing copies of the game.

A good title to have for your game library. It's non linear, has fun graphics (kind of 60's imagery), and has quirky characters. Too bad it was underappreciated when it came out; I would like to have seen a sequel. Maybe it was the word 'Psycho' in the title that turned off parents.

best game youve never heard of

this game is WILD and tons of fun. it's interesting and it has great gameplay. the basis of the game is you're a camper at a psychonaut program, and end up learning a lot of psychic powers and saving the rest of your friends. the graphics are sick. some of the locations you end up visiting end up getting twisted and turned. its totally insane. it's also a great game because it's very psychology based. you travel in peoples' minds, destroying their demons. its incredibly clever and very touching at times. i laughed, i cried, and held my bladder for hours while playing.. it was beautiful. i recommend this game to everyone and anyone.
