Psychonauts demo disc

[phoenix1967]

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 saw the review on X-Play and it looked pretty good. I have the demo too but haven't tried it yet.

I tried the demo a bit this morning before work. it was pretty fun. not something I'd pay full price for though.

I definitely agree. It seems to be a no-brainer when it gets to $19.99, though.

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.

Get the game it rules. If you can get it used great, but the game is worth the 50 bucks.
