    The humor may not be for everyone, and the game fares a little better on Xbox in terms of performance, but otherwise, Psychonauts is definitely insane on your brain.

    People are crying out for new styles of gameplay, which Psychonauts delivers, but we have a feeling that even if we tell you to go out and buy or at least try, most people will find themselves tempted by a more mainstream title, which is a shame.

    It’s not revolutionary by any means, nor is it particularly long, but thanks to some clever creative control the game delivers a funny, engrossing and downright weird experience unlike most other platform adventures. [July 2005, p.104]

This is not a generic platform game, this is what platform games were meant to be like. A gold standard.… Full Review »

    The game starts with the worst voice syncing I've seen, subpar graphics and lame dialog. The first portion of the game plays like a Jak and Daxer clone, but the middle part is rather enjoyable. However with the last part's terrible level design it kinda left me disappointed. Over all the game isn't that good.… Full Review »
