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... |
