  • Psychonauts

    So far better than Jade Empire.

    Immersive, funny, crisp, challenging, psychological, banjo and kazooie esque but better.

    Those are jsut some of the adjectives that this games brings to mind. In it you are a psychic warrior, sort of, you are a psychic/psionic/telekineticish kid sent to psychic camp.

    basically you have psychic abilities in the real world, however you also have the ability to go into your mind, adn the minds of others, inside of these worlds you have the smae powers.

    So far I can shoot psychic blasts, set things on fire,hit with psychic powered punches. psychic powered double jump, telekinesis.

    The telekinesis is quite cool, and fun to use.

    The gmae is heavily based in cut scenes that (surprise) DON'T SUCK!!! In fact you end up seeking them out. They are quite funny and fun to watch most of the time.

    The characters are very well developed, adn the psycholigcal elemnet in the game is a true splendor.

    They take wonderfully selected bits and ieces from Freudian dream analysis, Gestalt dream therapy, Carl Jung's collective unconscious, and much more to create a very fun and interactive world to play in.

    Worth picking up at least as a rental. I was going to trade it in for the shakey KOTOR2, but a very good XPLAY review coaxed me int oat least trying it.

    It's a great game, I've got the PC version though.

    You are right that this game is genuinely funny. The cutscenes are really enjoyable.

      I want to remove someone's brain and use it to shoot innocent civilians with a PSYCHIC DEATH BEAM!

        I acquired this a while back, but I am too busy playing Guild Wars to check it out.

          I'm kinda stuck on level six inside of this schizo guy's head.

          I have to find a sewer worker disguise, and I've really run out of ideas. I think maybe if I got a phone worker disguise then I could tightrope walk the phone lines to this one weird triangle island, but I can't find a phone worker disguise.

          Anybody got any bright ideas?

              Definitely added to my buy list!

                the premise looks really fresh.

                how does the action play out though? what type of game is this really? It's not a shooter I take it. Would it classify as an action game? Can you pause it? Do you have to do stupid jumps over and over?

                  It's a platformer.

                    A puzzley platformer though......just calling it a platformer doesn't really do it justice.

                          I think it is more than a platformer.

                          It is liek a hyper platformer.

                          It is approaching a synthesis of platformer adventure and rpg.
