Zer gave it a9: Psychonauts is one of the best platformers of all time, and it's free until Dec 31 '08 on Gametap and $10 on Steam. Everyone who enjoys platformers should play it. It's sad it bombed and caused Majesco to leave the console buisness.
Christopher H. gave it a10: One of the top 3 greatest games I've ever played. And I don't like platformers.
Daniel P. gave it a10: This is the best game i have ever played. It's not the longest, but it has great gameplay. If you dont like platforms you wont like it that much, but i absolutely LOVED it.
Ken S. gave it a10: Just fabulous, each level is a new world a new surprise and a whole new perspective. Brilliant and very funny.
Mark gave it a10: Best platformer ever! A classic by Tim Schafer and his team, Double Fine! Simply not to be missed!
Eric S. gave it a10: This game is wonderful, and at a low low price of only $20 for PC.
Dr. Worm gave it a9: It's a great platform game with good story, not bad graphics, and it brings originality to a franchise most give the cold shoulder. It does leave room for improvement though, it was a little too linear towards the beginning.
Uwe P. gave it a4: Definitely overrated. Maybe because it's an 'underdog' of a game by Schafer, and people wanted it to be a return to form for him. It's just not anywhere close to delievering the clever humour and characterizations of, say, Grim Fandango. And, unfortunately, it does feel like a point'n'clicker shoehorned onto an average platformer. What ticks me off the most, though, is the amount of rubbish you have to collect. It's like Rare's worst platformers/collect 'em ups multiplied by ten.
Steve P. gave it a10: I was worried for a wile that plat formers, the purest form of gaming was doomed to die. The only good ones coming out where Mario Sequels, and I’m tiered of that little Italian Plummer. This game is the best plat former I have ever played, it’s fun creative, and it has it’s funny moments. Support this kind of game making, get this game.
David L. gave it a10: An impressive game. Brilliant design, clever writing, ingenious puzzles and addictive gameplay. Another fantastic game from Tim Schafer and the team at DoubleFine.
John D. gave it a10: this came is the best game ive played all year. It is creative,funny,not all that long but worth it.
Zimbo74 gave it a10: One of the funniest games I've ever played! I'm taking my time with it because I don't want it to finish!
[Anonymous] gave it a10: One of the top XBOX games. Wonderfully inventive and hilarious. Very well designed.
Chris G. gave it a9: This game has more imagination and variety than aything else I've played in 2005. The premise is unique, and the execution is outstanding. Here's why I didn't give it a 10: The jumping felt a little mushy at first, but you get powers later in the game to make up for it. The camera controls felt a little off. The very last challenge was a huge spike in difficulty. I found it fairly frustrating. I also had to turn off the music in this part- it was driving me INSANE!
Pimp Player gave it a10: Perfec1t
Anderson M. gave it a10: This game is unbelivable the voice acting is perfection and is unstop fun. this is by far the best platformer ever. a must buy!
Tony B. gave it a9: I'm a guy that hates boss fights. I was strickly a PC gamer, so avoiding boss fights isn't too hard...but playing this game on the Xbox is just sheer fun. The games creativity and imagination is incredibly refreshing after playing (even good) mass amrket games that all seem to blend into eachother. I'd recommend this game to anyone that can stand to laugh a little while playing video games.
Paul P. gave it a9: Fantastic creativity.
Soiled Patsy gave it a10: I soiled myself after this amazing creation came out. Wow. Not world of warcraft, but wow as in amazing.
Jon D. gave it a10: Best game i have played this year!
Folarin S. gave it a10: Simply amazing!!!!!!! I had almost given up on computer games, then along comes this psychadelic experience. The humor is outstanding and Raz's is so eager to face all comers that you cannot but enjoy playing as him. Lungfishopolis on its own is worth the price of admission.

Charlie gave it a10: Unbelievable!
Brent C. gave it a10: This game has all the originality of old school Nintendo games while putting the Xbox to full use. The puzzles are hard mostly because the game does its best to annoy you to put you off your best possible mental condition. Though you don't like getting annoyed, if you can accept it as a way to crank up the difficulty in some challenging situations, you'll appreciate it. The art is beyond superb. I only wish there were more places to "visit." This is the only game ever where I replayed a training level just to have the experience again. I'm probably a third of the way into the game, and I can't wait for te levels that follow. Buy this now.
Scott C. gave it a10: Psychonauts not only sets the bar higher for games, but in my opinon, forms the genre of movies you can play and participate in. Superb story that grips you and makes you laugh and truly Think (and not just about the game puzzles). Few games can accomplish that, and this is such a game. Even people who don't particularly like this style of game will have to admit it is an exceptional game. Highest recommendation possible.
Steve S. gave it a10: Amazing, varied gameplay that never ceases to produce a smile.
John K. gave it a10: Truly great game! Very intriguing and extremely creative level design-- you really never know what to expect next! If you like games like Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter (or if you only have an X-Box but have heard that those games on the PS2 were fun), then give this game a try! The game provides hours of entertainment, and its quirky humor keeps things interesting. The game does a nice job of pulling you into the story, and has a free-roaming feel to it. You really do feel like you are trying to solve this brain-stealing mystery, and the game's little puzzles are fun to solve in order to move on to the next level. And when I say "puzzles", don't be put off by that if you are not a fan of such things-- the puzzles are just the creative ways that you will need to combine your powers in order to achieve your objectives. Bottom line: If you like action/adventure games with a little creativity (actually A LOT), then BUY THIS GAME. There really is no comparison on the X-Box!
RaZ B. gave it a10: Once you really get into this game, you will realize that it has just about everything. I have laughed out loud many times at the one-liners in this game. The environments are amazing, and the voice acting is spot on! This game will make you think and laugh... a lot! Thanks Double Fine for setting the standard of actually taking time to completely fine-tuning a game before releasing it.
Brian J. gave it a10: It's a pitiful world we live in when an amazing title like this is not loved by all fans of gaming. It has amazing characters, well written dialog and story and oodles of fun. If you don't play this game and enjoy it you are not a gamer.
[Anonymous] gave it a10: One of the most important video games of all time.
Scott G. gave it a10: Great game,fun for the kids and adults. . .thank you Double Fine for all the hard work...it paid off as on of the best platformers. . .ever!
Ryan W. gave it a10: This game is excellent. The art direction, the soundtrack, the storyline (from what I've seen), the character depth, the universe realistation -- it's all perfect. I cannot recommend this game enough, and any gamer with the slightest interest in either the platforming or adventure genres should try it out. Hell, try it out even if you aren't. With the free demo, you can't really go wrong.
Birthday Boy gave it a10: Extraordinary, original, beautiful, deep game. It's Zelda for grownups. The young-looking graphics are not indicative of the experience. One of the best games of all time, from one of the greatest game designers.
Chris R. gave it a10: Psychonauts seamlessly merges the legendary adventure sensibilities of Tim Schafer with fluid and engaging platforming gameplay.
