Imagine arriving at a summer camp, where on day 1 your new best friend starts arguing with squirrels on the ethical dilemma of killing everyone with his mind. Suddenly the course co-ordinator asks you to take some drugs and get on up into his head, where you have to fight off neon outlines of world war 1 zeppelins and swing across contraptions that would make Dr. Seuss dizzy.
After all of this, the rest of your week includes becoming a reverse Godzilla in the city of the Lungfish, convincing CIA agents that you really ARE a housewife, see, I have a rolling pin right here, and stealing back the brains of everyone in camp from a crazed dentist and facing off a circus master in a tent full of steaks.
Not to even MENTION the psychic tiger that burns you every time you try to reach the cabins.
Yes, Psychonauts is brilliant. Absolutely and utterly brilliant in almost every way.
