Next up is the Area Survey page. Whereas places such as The Motherlobe. Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy. Delivered by FeedBurner.
Telephone Your telephone number is opetional. Search for:. And then myself. Did I mention it was funny? It's very, very funny. Fizzy pop snorted out through nose funny. It's easily the most charming and unremittingly amusing game that I've played since, well, Grim Fandango.
But it's also, again like Grim Fandango, pretty damn dark. You're entering people's heads you see, and they're not necessarily happy places. The second head you go into is that of po-faced Agent Nein, he of straight laces and nerd glasses, and should you break open the safe containing his memories you'll find scenes of the death of his mother.
Likewise, should you go exploring too deeply in the crazy, disco-funk head of Milla Vodello, then you'll find things to suggest that her happy-go-lucky party fever is perhaps a front to cover up some overwhelmingly tragic events. There's some extremely clever stuff going on here that goes far beyond the normal treatment of videogame characters.
It's a bit of a crap thing to say, but here you actually 'get inside' the people around you, and learn what makes them tick. The characters themselves are wonderful, and none are more wonderful than Dogan - who is without doubt the star of the show. He's a spherical blue kid.
His childhood insanity and confused ramblings make for some real, heartfelt laughs, but you genuinely start giving a shit about him - just as the superb voice acting and wonderful character design leads you to really hate the bullies and really find the irritating kids irritating. It's a shame that you lose a lot of this halfway through the game when the plot renders all but Raz into mindless automatons, but you just can't wait to thwart the evil and get Dogan back to normal again.
If you consider a child who kills squirrels with his mind as normal. I have love for this game. Great, great love. So the next few paragraphs are going to hurt. There are problems with Psychonauts. There, I've said it. Big ones. Deep, deep breath. The first one is that this is a console game. Mouse and keyboard, the way I played it, doesn't work at all - the correspondence between mouse-look and WASD-move is out of whack, and can render some boss battles a nightmare.
Combat is done through laser mind-blasts with a lock-on button, mouse-tap thwacking and whatever other psychic powers you have selected - it feels clunky and not at all in keeping with the quality of the rest of the game.
Accessing inventories and assigning skills also impinges on the action. I hate to say it, but marvellous as it is, Psychonauts is better suited to Xbox.
But, better to play it on PC with a gamepad than not at all, because remember! The camera is pretty dodgy as well. On wide-open mindscapes such as the otherwise remarkable Napoleon Complex level it's easy to get lost, and every now and then you won't be able to see where the hell you're going.
What's more, remember how I said playing Psychonauts gives you the same feeling as when you were playing an old LucasArts point-and-click? Well, do you remember the frustration you used to feel when you got stuck?
Sometimes for hours? Well Raz's adventures do that too, but whereas Monkey Island et al used to make you feel as if you weren't clever enough, when you get well and truly stuck in Psychonauts you feel its more a case of bad design rather than your own limitations. True, waving bacon near your ear can give you comprehensive advice from your mentor - but there are some occasions when he's useless and your frustration and anger mount and mount.
I was lucky enough to have a fellow games journalist on MSN a few levels ahead of me to fill in the gaps, but gamefaqs. Any other quibbles? Well, yes. I felt that a lot of the collecting of various bits and bobs was a bit tacked on - so much so that I've given it its own personal boxout see Collection Point', below. And the FMV's a bit ropey compared to the shiny in-game action. And there's a bit just before the end that's really, really rubbish -but I can't give away.
But you simply must understand that you'll forgive all this well, most of it because Psychonauts will make you feel so happy that you'll want to go to America, visit DoubleFine and give them all a big cuddle.
I've read back over my review, and I've realised that I haven't got anywhere close to describing the fun that Psychonauts provides, despite its limitations.
This is because there is no way to truly appreciate the brilliance of the game apart from playing it. You can't convey it - it's like telling someone an anecdote that was funny at the time". Even though there isn't one duff character in the whole shebang, barely a line falls flat and some of the levels one in particular - the I am a roadmender level for those in the know are so wilfully and gleefully insane that they surpass anything 'alternative' that I've seen, heard or played in a very long time.
I have no idea where Schafer gets his inspiration from. I don't know, and I don't care - just so long as he's reinstalled as king of gaming. And this means, friend, that as soon as this game is released in this country, you have to buy it. Because the only way that we're going to get more games like this, games of such absolute joy, is to buy them.
The only language understood by the who run the game industry and yes, that began with the letter c, and no, my grandmother isn't proud is to talk in their language - the language of cold, hard cash - and all the Sims expansion packs that go with it. It's very important that this isn't a commercial failure and so, despite the camera problems and the moments of frustration, I beg of you to sample its delights.
It's only available on import at the moment, but word is that UK distribution will happen this autumn. Buy a gamepad now while stocks last forget about the mouse and keyboard and make sure you flex your brain at least three times a day - it's in for some expanding, and you need it to be ready for the workout that Psychonauts will provide. I hate collecting things in games, especially when you feel that you're not really doing it for any particular reason. Psychonauts has you collecting figments neon-coloured patches of people's imagination in order to level up, but it also complicates matters with secret rtemo, machines that convert some things into other things never quite understood what and various other bits and pieces.
I don't care about this kind of thing in LEGO Star Wars or Hany Potter as kids seem to like it but it often becomes quite a nuisance in a game as wonderful as Psychonauts.
Still, life goes on The team at pc hold a special place for Tim Schafer. It's an altar, right next our places of devotion for Warren Spector and Maggie, where we leave offerings of Jelly Babies and small toys to one of the high gods of gaming.
