From the Manufacturer

A Psychic Odyssey Through the Minds of Misfits, Monsters, and Madmen.

This classic action/adventure platformer from acclaimed developers Double Fine Productions follows the story of a young psychic named Razputin. In his quest to join the Psychonauts--an elite group of international psychic secret agents--he breaks into their secret training facility: Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. But this is no average psychic summer camp! A mysterious villain has kidnapped Raz’s fellow campers and stolen their brains. Now he must use his psychic powers of Telekinesis, Levitation, and most of all his ability to project himself into the minds of others--to find the loose noodles and keep them from falling into the wrong hands. Fight mental demons! Uncover hidden memories! Sort emotional baggage! Explore the fantastic realm of the inner mind! Join the Psychonauts!

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Imaginative Game I've Ever Played May 6, 2012

By S. Kennedy

This is one of my favorite games of all time. I've gotten to level 100 four times (collecting everything). I own it on PS2, Steam, and XBOX 360. When I played it on steam I used an xbox wired controller with my computer. I'm personally not a fan of computer controls.

The story:
Rasputin is a misunderstood kid who longs for adventure. He knows he has psychic abilities, but his father refuses to allow him to pursue them due to a gypsy curse put on his family. You begin your adventure at a camp, filled with interesting campers and bonuses to unlock. As you traverse the brains of camp counselors, you earn psychic merit badges (pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation ball, etc.). But your summer camp fun gets disrupted when you realize their is plot to steal everyone's brains. You must team up with a mentally unstable, retired psychonaut, Ford Crueller to save your fellow campers and potentially the world.

Pros:
Each of the worlds is original and different
The psychic worlds really help you understand each character's emotional complexity.
10-15 hours of gameplay
A lot to collect, ranging in difficulty to find.
Leveling Up is useful - extra fire-power, regenerating health, etc. - but not necessary in the grand scheme of things

Cons:
A couple levels take forever to beat if you don't know what to do. Especially the last level can be really irritating if you are trying to collect everything.
The bonus for reaching level 100 is a 30 second clip... it's a funny clip, but probably not worth trying to collecting every figment.

This game was written and designed by Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango, Monkey Island Trilogy, Brutal Legend, etc). If you enjoy original games and gameplay with over the top story and characters I would highly suggest this game.

The internet loves this game and for good reason. The story is great, the game play is fun and while it is a bit old, it feels very creative and interesting with it's story, cast of characters and art style. The game is cheap and worth every dollar.
