Psychonauts

"Psychonauts? More like Psychotic Amount Of Fun."

Alright. First, let me get this straight. If you see this game ANYWHERE, dish out as much money as you can, and pay extra for the people getting this game without fainting from sheer awesomeness.


Gameplay- 9/10
Well, the only reason it's not a 10/10 here is because you can't get a "psychotic" amount of powers. But other than that, there's incredible powers, like levitation and pyrokinesis. There's a LOT of fun in picking up bears with psychokinesis. Trust me, this game is worth getting just for it's gameplay, and even more if you take other factors into account. There's not much else to say, but, if you're into gameplay, and nothing else, STILL get this game.


Graphics- 10/10
Everything pops out so much! There's great shading, and everything. As Frankenstein probably said "Pretty colors...". Plus, there are SO many cool-looking things in this game, like a certain spiky metal dome. Everyone with a unique shape deserves it! Like Coach, or Sasha Nein. Of course, I could be saying this because I've been playing old games like Sonic the Hedgehog for 4 hours straight. But probably not.

Story- 9/10
I haven't played this game all the way through yet, but so far so good! But seriously, even though I hardly know anything about the story, I have a feeling these Sasha Nein and Milla Bodello people are INCREDIBLY important. That's not a spoiler so you have no right to get mad at me, it's just a prediction. And by incredibly important, I mean more-important-than-those-cookies-you-had-2-weeks-ago important, not more-important-than-gravity important. I won't give you any spoilers, but, let's just quote that Dutch guy from Austin Powers and say "faah-zhaa". Or however you want to spell his weird way of saying father.

Sound- 9/10
Well, Milla Bodello is kinda annoying, and so is the music. But other than that, there's only positive. Almost all of the voices I've heard so far are really cool, especially Raz's, since he reminds me of a non-space invader version of Invader Zim. This game has some pretty cool sound.

Conclusion-9/10
Great game! Definitely buy it, and I'm saying this BEFORE I beat it. After I beat it, I'll probably invent a way through my computer into yours, and yell at you until you buy this game. Definitely go and buy it! I would buy 6,000 PS2s, 6,000 copies of every game out there, and sacrifice them along with $1,000,000 just to play this game. And then I'd eat 6 tons of poop to get back to the game without any disturbances. So...um... Get this game! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
