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.

Fight mental demons! Uncover hidden memories! Sort emotional baggage! Explore the fantastic realm of the inner mind! Join the Psychonauts!
Frustrating controls and a few game-stopper bugs. Never completed the game due to crashes. Mildly entertaining while it lasted.
Psychonauts is not a flawless game. The controls are wonky, the difficulty curve is weird, the graphics are passable, and some of the levels are weaker than others. However . . . when I think of my experiences playing the game I have to force myself to think of any negatives, and when I think of my favorite gaming moments ever parts of Psychonauts positively leap to mind. It would be impossible to discuss what makes Psychonauts so wonderful without spoiling some of the magic; when a game as unique and imaginative as this is around all that can be done is to play it and experience it for yourself.
The perfect game.
It has them all: engaging story, loads of fun, lots of action and creatures to smash, lots of collectibles, great music and great humour. It's the most complete game I've ever played!
The Most Excellent Game; The writing, characters, environments, music, gameplay, everything is just great. Definitely one of my favorite games ever.
Everyone should give this a try. Seriously, do it.
