Psychonauts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To all of those critics out there who complain that the PC game industry has degenerated into a cookie cutter assortment of FPS or RTS games, it is time to put your money where your mouth is...

I've been PC gaming since the early Sierra days on an Apple IIC, and by far some of the most imaginitive, inventive, and hilarious games I've come across over the years were created by Tim Shaeffer (Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango to name a few).Well he's done it again with Psychonauts, a platform title which lives up to the unique humor and spirit of his previous creations.

With the cancellation of recent titles, such as the axed sequel planned for the great Sam and Max, its time to send the industry a message:

THERE IS AN AUDIENCE FOR THESE TYPE OF GAMES AND IF YOU DEVELOP THEM THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL!

I encourage everyone out there who who remembers the imaginative grand ol' days of gaming to pick up a copy.This really is a game which is truely unique and has something to offer everyone of every age group - plus at $30 its a steal.

And if you pass on this title?Well no more complaints as you're running, gunning, and lobbing frag grenades in different, but really not so different, settings in all of your future games.I put in my ante.

P.S. To really enjoy the game you should get a gamepad...there are some control issues with the keyboard mouse combo.
