Waah, I played the game because you know, bored and it made me want to pull out my hair. And that was only the demo! Stupid Yahtzee for having such weird taste in games.
I'm really just posting to stop the ridiculous window stretching of the esteemed fellow above me. (Really, there should be some kind of limit on the amount of characters one can have in a username.)
That said, Psychonauts is one of my all time favorite games...but, I can't quite shake the feeling that it may have been down hill from there on for Mr.Schafer. I mean...Brutal Legend was a fine game all said, but there was just something missing, something lacking, and I hope it's just a hiccup, but it doesn't stop me wondering whether or not we'll see the likes of Psychonauts again.

Watching these all again, and its hard to believe that he is actually encouraging you to buy a game. Still, it was a fair review and I'm glad to see this is the ONLY game he enjoys.
Everyone should do laughing gas whilst watching these reviews cos you'll love it. You won't have a clue whats going on but you'll want to marry a voice by the end of it. Actually..... time to put the gas down now.
I actually just joined this forum to post how happy I am that Yahtzee actually likes this game. It's one of the most endearing games ever released. However, in addition to the madness brought up in the review, there is also a very sinister tone to some of the game. Follow the story of the two cheerleaders (find them in the levels, and read the notice board), and it gets seriously creepy.
All-in-all, it's one of my favourite games of all time.

Tim Schaefer (or Schafer?) did a great job at LucasArts, and Psychonauts was fantastic when it first came out. Then there came Brutal Legend, which I felt was a kind of hit-or-miss game, it was fantastic in certain places and it was awful in other places. I was sick last October and spent a few days playing (and finishing) Costume Quest, which I loved and can heartily recommend (perhaps a good game for next Halloween?). Stacking is his latest, and is completely boring to me. Yet, I'm surprised Yahtzee hasn't reviewed either one, seeing how disappointed he was with Brutal Legend... Oh, well. I guess he's gotta review what he's told to review. I think that's why I'm watching these older vids of his - I liked them better before it was like a 'job-thing'. Oh, well... Keep 'em coming Yahtzee! 
Only one issue with the game:The Cobweb Duster bug (It's a bug that removes your cobweb duster from your inventory and places it back in the store,forcing you to A.Reload an old save B.Cheat the item back in or C.Buy it again)
I went out and bought this game after i saw this review.
I love the game!!! It was one of my favorites even if the last level is painful to play due to level design. But the story line is top notch and it is just pure fun. I have yelled at all my friends who have not played the game and the few who have tried it said it was amazing. Thank you Yahtzee for bringing this beautiful game into my life.
