I picked it up today, it is beautiful. I'm only on my way to the Geodesic Psychoisolation Chamber, but the whole sequence in Coach Oliander's head was a blast.

Yes I'm playing through it too, and I'm not that far ahead of you It was truly worth the money and I recommend it to everyone, too--- especially fans of Tim Schafer.

Awesome. I've never played any Tim Schafer games, but I might just go and check them out if I can find them.

The art style is really intereseting, it exaggerates undesirable characteristics associated with the personality of the characters. For example, Bobby the agressive bully kid has huge hair, representing big-headedness. And the kid that makes people's heads explode is short and has eyes that are very wide apart, showing his weak constitution and simple mind.

Those little memory slideshow things also add a lot to the experience.

Oh this is the new Tim Schafer game? Sweet. I loved Grim Fandango (Easily in the Top 5 games of 98, next to MGS and Gran Turismo ofcourse), and full throttle was also fun. I was gonna take a look at it already tomorrow (3 people suggested to me tonight that I should play this game), but now that I know its a Tim Schafer game, i'm freaking sold

I hope this follows in the same "insane" style that Grim Fandango did. And I hope the PC version runs good :/

Just remember that this isn't a typical LucasArts adventure where you can Pick Up, Talk, Open, Close, etc. everything. Psychonauts is pure platformer goodness, but the art style is reminiscent of the old Tim Schafer classics

Just finished the training part. I like the way the game plays on the PC...

eh eh eh eh.. eh.. eh eh

The characters are well done too... They have something thats lacking from most modern games... distinct personalitys.

Oh man, wait till you get some more psychic powers.

How are the controls for the PC? I got the xbox version to save my PC a painful death resulting from a fried Geforce 2.
