Video Game Reviews of PsychoNauts

Customer Review: Snarky Fun
Summary: 5 Stars

A sharp-witted game designed with at least two different types of players in mind. The linear gameplay and non-linear game maps allow the player who wishes to play just the storyline to do so, but also has a treasure-hunt quest for the player who likes to explore every nook and cranny. The main character uses PG-13 language, and some of the monsters are a bit on the disturbing side... in a cartoonish way. But the very BEST part of this game is its sense of humor. Among the many humorous elements are telekinetic bears that dramatically fall over dead (with a pirouette and a hand over their heart) when you attack them, evil squirrels, and a Russian kid that keeps talking about the bears: "Have you seen hairless bear around here?", secret agents that don't use their props correctly (one who is supposed to be a rifleman cradles his gun treats it like a baby, and another who is a grieving widow uses their prop lily as a golf club), and a paranoid milkman who talks crazy and sees things -- a psychosis you are able to share. I first played it with a friend who got it through GameFly and beat it, but I found myself repeating lines from the game and wanting to share the humorous cut scenes with my husband, so I bought it and played it through again. It's really sad that the creators went bust, because the genius behind this game is, well, genius.

Description of PsychoNauts

Psychonauts are special psychic operatives with powers they use in service to the world's governments. When students begin disappearing from Psychonaut boot camp, a young recruit begins tracking down the mad scientist responsible. Face inner demons and wrestle with other people's nightmares, while accomplishing your mission -- all without going insane. Immersive story injected with lots of humor and lots of imaginative environments Challenging puzzles with alternate solutions that self-tailor to your strategies&abilities
Following in the footsteps of the award-winning titles Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, visionary designer Tim Schafer delivers his newest creation--the bizarre, psychic adventure, Psychonauts.

For years, the Psychonauts have deployed their psychically-armed operatives all over the world, but now there is trouble brewing in their own boot camp. A deranged scientist is abducting camp cadets for their brains! One student, a mysterious and powerful new arrival named Raz, stands alone against the lunatic. Raz must develop and unleash an arsenal of paranormal powers, including his most powerful weapon of all--the ability to launch himself telepathically into the minds of others. Ultimately, he must enter the psyche of his worst enemy and destroy his dark plans at their source. Entering the mind of madman has its challenges, and Raz must struggle to preserve his sanity while he battles to save the day.

In this third-person shooter, you will explore 13 levels--three that are set in the "real" world, and ten that are set inside the mental jungle-gyms and terrifying prisons of dementia. Journeying through the mind of a lunatic, Raz, you will rise through the ranks as you collect figments of imagination, sort emotional baggage, clear out mental cobwebs, and crack open memory vaults. After you complete special training missions, Raz will learn new psychic powers, such as levitation, telekinesis, invisibility, pyrokinesis, clairvoyance, and confusion.

With tightropes, trapezes, ladders, poles and other dynamic environmental features, you'll zip through an engrossing story injected with humor, vivid characters, and a spectacular range of wild, imaginative environments. The non-linear plot offers incredible depth of play, loaded with multiple paths and strange sub-challenges like digging up imaginary atomic elements, finding lost brains, and telekinetic canoeing.

You'll thoroughly enjoy the journey with Raz as you make your way through weird worlds and the dark recesses of Schafer's creative, squishy gray matter in this oddball, puzzle-game shooter. Psychonauts delivers monsters that slink like cats in the night and puzzles that will bend your brain like string theory--you'll be dazzled, confused, and challenged.
