Tim Schafer is a genius without a doubt, and this game shows it. Under-appreciated and fun, Psychonauts will leave you wanting more. Though I must point out its slightly hard to play on the PC version. The keyboard and mouse control actions, camera, and movement but due to annoying enemies, lag, and the fact the character is a bit hard to controls in those tight spaces make the game hard just to get to the next platform. Story: Razputin (voiced by Richard Horvits, the voice of Zim from the TV show Invader Zim) is a young circus boy psychic who is shunned by his parents for having psychic powers. His family pretty much hates psychics because of the fact that they killed Raz's granddad and curesed his whole family to die in water. Gameplay: The levels are detailed, stunning, and beauiful to say the least. From the camp grounds of Whispering-Rock, to the many mental worlds of the game, and even the demented floors of The Thorney Towers Home For The Disturbed you'll have a hay-day with these levels. Characters: Psychonauts took FIVE YEARS to make and one of the main reasons is because every time the story progressed a little (E.G. you complete a mental world at the camp) each of your fellow campers would have something new to say.
