I don't know how this game flew under the radar as much as it did back in the day, but it is a platformer every bit as good as any 3-D Mario.

Tim Schafer really did a great job on this - and it carries a lot of the same vibe the old Lucas Arts adventure games he worked on had.

If you haven't played this, find a copy - it's cheap ($9.99 at Game Stop, and I think $15 as a download on XBLA) - and play it.

If you're a fan of platformers, I think you'll enjoy it, and I definitely thought it deserved a second wind.

I've heard it's bloody awesome but never got around to playing it. Will pick it up cheap when I have time to play it.

That and Grim Fandango.

This pretty much sums it up.

That and I still haven't even bothered getting through tomb raider anniversary once(got it free with gpu), so if I'm in the mood for a casual game it'll be that first of all. Also kind've have far too many things to spend money on really.

Meh - it will age well (and continue to be available for free/cheap). If you don't play it now, keep it mind for later - it's the kind of game that will hold it's value for years to come.

Its just that the older you get the "Games you need to play" list gets longer and longer and you have less and less time

I guess - I just know that the amount of times when I am both broke yet absolutely need something to play that I haven't played through yet is fairly high, so even though the "games I need to play" list is long, it still comes in pretty handy.

Edit: And for PC/Mac gamers, it's free on GameTap.

I heard great things when this hit store shelves back in 2005. It's too bad it wasn't received better. I hear its full of trippy effects as well. I'll have to take the dive at some point...

great game! Dunno how it didn't get more credit when it was first released, as its a blast to play.
