THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!

Jeez, I'm banning myself from this thread 'cos of the proliferation of spoilers. I've played the demo but the game is not even out here yet and won't be until after I leave the country in (*counts*) 37 days.
Okay, so I left the country, came back and bought the game. I wasn't planning on playing the game because I was halfway through a SW replay but when I put the game in my Xbox to test that I hadn't been sold a dud disk it sucked me in with it's magnificence. It took me a couple of weeks (and 20-odd hours of playtime) but I finished it tonight.

Truly, the most perfect video game I have ever played: On the patented Nate-Omatic (TM) Game Scoring System, Psychonauts kicks arse in all major categories including graphics (especially for providing the best RT graphics I’ve ever seen in a game), design (Black Velvetopia had me drooling), a fantastic hero, great characters (including the supporting ones; I loved Mikhail!), voice acting, level design, FMVs, plot, having a twist that I totally didn’t expect (but really should have), humour and just basic kick-arsedness. I’m sure if I waited another ten minutes before sending this I’d think of another dozen or so things I loved about it.
