If you like the humor of Invader Zim and the style/mind of Tim Burton then you will like this game. Psychonauts follows the player-character Raz (voiced by Richard Horvitz), a young boy gifted with psychic abilities who runs away from the circus to try to sneak into a summer camp for those with similar powers to become a "Psychonaut", a spy with psychic abilities. He finds that there is a sinister plot occurring at the camp that only he can stop. The game is centered on exploring the strange and imaginative minds of various characters that Raz encounters as a Psychonaut-in-training/"Psycadet" to help them overcome their fears or memories of their past, so as to gain their help and progress in the game. Raz gains use of several psychic abilities during the game that are used for both attacking foes and solving puzzles. The game does have some problems with the controls like input delay or the character might not grab on to a ledge that you need to get on put over all this game has only a few problems which aren't too big of an issue. This game was originally release on Original Xbox in 2005 and ported to the PS2 later that year which could be the issue of some of the games faults as it wasn’t the same company who did the Xbox port. Over all I give this game a 8.5 out of 10. It still holds up very well for being an 15 year old game
