Title: Psychonauts demo disc Post by: phoenix1967 on June 15, 2005, 04:42:49 PM This is one of those games that flies under the radar. It's original, it's challenging, and very overlooked in my opinion.
This could easily have been made into an animated movie if it were not a video game. You play Raz, a Psychonaut-in-training that is at a summer camp for kids that aspire to enter peoples brains to help them with "emotional baggage", pick up "figments of the imagination", and the like. Your first challenge in the demo disk is to complete Basic Braining in order to get your first merit badge. It's basically a platformer, but the visual creativity is really something special. Controls are pretty straightforward and action is challenging, but not impossible. Gamerankings.com has around a 90% favorable rating as well. It's still at the $49.99 price tag, but I think if it drops to $29.99 or less, I'd pick it up.

I definitely agree. It seems to be a no-brainer when it gets to $19.99, though. Title: Re: Psychonauts demo disc Post by: Izret101 on June 23, 2005, 06:32:18 AM I saw it on Xplay too.
Looks pretty cool. I like how you are "Raspueten" too. Hopefully i can get this one before it is so old i won't want to play it because i have something new.
