It was alright. Honestly, while Psychonauts had a great story and stellar artwork, it REALLY isn't as inspired mechanically as people make it out to be. It played well enough, but there was nothing spectacular about it. As far as action/platform games go, there are much better out there.

The dude in the review came off as one of those moronic assholes who are too "hardcore". You know the type; the polar opposite of the cracked out FPS gamers he mentions in his rant. The ones who think every piece of mundane sh*t with some nice art and slightly modified takes on familiar gameplay mechanics* are works of genius.

*See 'Odin Sphere'

Nevertheless, an enjoyable little video. The Escapist is great, and the addition of this fellows unique brand of reviews is a nice addition.

I totally agree. Great artwork and good story and premise but otherwise mediocre. I didn't even finish it because I got bored towards the end.
