Innovative, funny and just plain weird

User Rating: 9 | Psychonauts PC
I've found the game a blast to play, and wholeheartedly recommend it to all. It has everything a good platformer should have, from colorful, weird characters, to awesome level design, and of course, the fundamentals of platforming gameplay and item collecting. Add to that a great story and you have a game, that, while not doing much new in terms of gameplay, does so much for story and visual style that it feels like the first platformer you've ever plaed anyway. Mention should also be made of the humour, which is absolutely hilarious in a very Tim Burton-esque way. It's a bit of a shame it sold as poorly as it did, but seeing as its now available for free on gametap and also for download on steam, I say don't miss it. It's the kind of game you won't see again for quite a while, and the kind of storytelling you just don't see that often in a game at all.
