I have a PS2 and am seriously thinking on trying out Physconauts. I just need to know one thing what is it similar to or what genre would you represent it as.

It's an action 3rd person platformer with adventure themes throughout.

Just a run-of-the-mill platformer.

it's a 3D platformer really innovative because incorporates classic adventure game elements. ArtStyle is unconventional along a really interesting and moving story

It's a 3-D platformer with a couple of adventure elements thrown in. It's a great game though, you should definitely give it a try.

It's a 3-D platformer made by Tim Schafer and crew. If you like his previous games like Grim Fandango, then you'll probably like Pyschonauts. Even if you haven't played any of his older games, you'll still like the game. It has excellent writing with some scenes where you literally laugh your head out. It occasionally pokes at pop culture.

Just give the game a go. It definitely gets better the more you play it.

It's the kind of game that people often misspell. :)

But seriously it's all the things mentioned so far (3D Platformer, unique and interesting world/characters/story) plus a semi non-linear path and the ability to explore.
