Possibly one of the most underrated PS2 games of all time.
****NOTE: This is a direct written review specifically made for the video review linked above.
We follow the story of Raz. A young aspiring Psychic who dreams of being a Psychonaut - a group of elite agents who battles evil doers with their minds. In pursuit of his life long dream, Raz decides to run away from home and join the Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp, a place where young kids are given the opportunity to test and strengthen their mental powers and eventually become a Psychonaut. To put it in shorter terms, it's basically Psychic Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts minus the cookies, and tacky uniforms of course. GOD, I hate those uniforms, they always gave me butt sweat.
But moving on, hehehe get it? Cuz I said butt. *cough* Anyway...
Psychonauts is an great action/adventure platforming game. What makes this game so amazing is not the bone crushing, cry inducing, piss your pants difficulty, but rather the attention to the weird, freaky, character designs, laugh out loud humor, and imaginative levels. As Raz enters into different people's minds within the game, you'll be introduced to a great variety of worlds from Coach Oleander's battlefield of pain and misery, to Agent Vodello's bumpin' groovy mind party.
In fact, there's so much variety within the game, it would literally make anyone's head explode! KABOOM! Hey, you see that pink thing on the wall over there behind the couch? Yeah, that's a portion of your brain. Don't worry brah... it's normal. MIND BLOWN!
Also, what other games out there allow you to assert your dominance over feeble, pathetic, little kids!?
BOW DOWN TO ME!
BEHOLD MY POWER!
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?
I'm going to slap you with my face!
MAKE ME A SANDWICH AND THEN THROW IT AWAY YOU PUNK*SS!

Psychonauts is the epitome of a great action/adventure platforming game. If you're looking for a fresh/new gaming experience, or just want a good ol' stomach cramping laughing fiesta, this is the game to go to.
Psychonauts gets 4 child abuse lawsuits.... out of 5.
