Need people's opinions on psychonauts!

I've heard some good things about the game and was wondering if it was worth the microsoft points on xbox live?

I've heard absolute minimal about it, probably for a good reason.

buy the damn game.

I bought it on Steam before it was put on the Xbox Live Marketplace.  I would definitely buy it if I were you.  It's one of the few games that I think every gamer should play.  I'm sure it plays better with a console controller too.

I hear good thing's but never played it myself :(
I'm in the same position as you.

Excellent platformer/adventure game. Nice story, top sound work and music, awesome distinct visuals and art style. One of the best Xbox games and still more than holds up today. Only downside is that it gets a little repetitive towards the end.

I loved that game!  One of the most loved games of the last generation, even though it didn't sell well.  It's really funny, and just fun to play.  ^_^

One of my favorite games ever. Get it.

Great game!

I love this game. It has some freaking hilarious parts which is something very rare in games. It's a gem people need to play.

"I've heard absolute minimal about it, probably for a good reason."

I've never played it so I guess I can't help you.

Amazing game.

You don't deserve to live if you haven't played it yet.

While a lot of the platforming elements in Psychonauts is kind of average, the game's amazing story, characters, and dialogue make this game very well worth playing. It is a very original, hilarious, colorful and entertaining game. Go for it. And for anyone else who wants to play Psychonauts, you can play the game for free on Gametap.

Dunno if you have a decent PC, but you can get it free off of Gametap.

EDIT: Argh, just noticed that was posted. :|

Love the game and I highly recommend it.  The last level will make you want to pull your hair out though, just so you know.

ya this is coming from the guy that said "I dont give a flying shit about multiplayer." and "halo is by no means bad its just average." hes a real master alright  /endsarcasm"

Psychonauts as a game is a fairly average platformer full of collectable quests and some backtracking repetition.

But as a story, everything is so entirely insane and non-sequitor that if you don't immediately fall in love with the major characters and their actions you should die in a fire.

Do yourself a favor and buy the damn game. If you do, Brütal Legend will come out 1% faster. And if you don't want to see Jack Black fight Rob Halford in a metal battle to the death, then I don't ever want to speak to you.

I've heard its really good I wanna buy it but just havent had the time to order

well then you my friend should find a new hobby"

Dude the game is hilarious.

I mean it has a telekinetic bear, a dentist who harvest brains, and a secret agent disguised as a middle-aged housewife brandishing a rolling pin and talking disjointedly about pies.:P

One of the funniest games I've ever played.  Well worth the $15

its an amazing game.

I thought it was funny but I didn't find it super fun to play. I actually think it's one of those games I'd rather watch than play.

Yes buy it, it really didnt get the sales it deserved when it first came out.

The way I describe it to my friends when I recommend it is: it's like playing a really funny, really, really awesome, quirky cartoon.  Sure, sometimes the platforming and level design aren't exactly up to par with, say, Super Mario Galaxy, and the game has bi-polar difficulty levels throughout, but the story, the writing, and the characters are so well put together throughout that it makes for one of the better games of the last generation.  Very highly recommended.

Great game. Flaws are minimal. Fun is maximal. Play it now.
