Psychonauts is probably the best and funniest game of this decade.
I can't begin to tell you how good this game is. It got all the things of an action-packed-platformer-adventure game that you could want. Since I'm very intrested in sick and bizarre games this must be the best game in that area. Then it's not that suprising that Grim Fandango was the best game last time around - it really do got the sense of bizarre fun.
The game starts off when a boy name Raz comes to a summer camp for people with psyhicic powers even though he's not suppose to be there. Still the recognize his strong mentality and lets him stay until his parents come. Without the knowledge of what there is to come the next few days.
I don't really know how to begin to tell you how good this game is. The game takes place in the summer camp, but in other platformers we usually go somewhere to do things but this game mostly takes place in the brain of someone. Either it's you or those around you. You learn things from people who know things by entering their minds, and it can't be much easier than that? I don't mean it in such way, but I think we'd all learned everything about everything if we could just jump into our teachers brain.
But like I said earlier, or maybe I didn't, some minds are more delicate and sicker than others. Since your part in the game is while you're around trying to learn everything you can (since you only have a few days at the camp until you have to go) there is something happening around your classmates. Their brains are getting stealed and no one knows who's doing it. So it's up to you to sort that mess out.
Most of the aspects of the game is unique and very well presented. The characters in the game are probably the best part of the game. At the middle of the game you visit an a asylum with crazy people (including the guy standing guard outside the asylum seems to be more out than those inside the asylum). So it really found the best way to get the laughs out of you.
It's worth replaying, but maybe not a hundred times and the grapichs are great but not perfect. It fits in and there's plenty of varieties never to get bored of your enviroment. Sound is perfect and the tilt of the game should get a higher rate than it can have cause it really twists your own mind in an unique and indescribable way.
Or maybe I've just gone nuts after playing it?
The length of the game gave me about 20 hours of gameplay so it's not the shortest of its type. It's really more than you could have expected out of a game of its type.
Funniest game of the decade, that is to say alot. Anyone wanna challenge it? Didn't think so.
If you don't play this or haven't played Tim Schafers other games. You shouldn't waste any more time reading this. You should get it and play it!
