I played Psychonauts on Gametap while it was free near the holidays last year. Definitely a great game if you haven't played it before. It might take a while to download, but its worth it.

I have played the demo and its pretty cool. Would it be better to just try and find it in a store rather than download it?

I'm worried about my download bill. We have 15GB on peek/15GB off peek.

1.5Gb? Vanguard beta was 20Gb. You need a faster connection if you think that 1.5Gb is large.

Great game no matter where you get it from. Only you can make the decision regarding your download bill. I do also suggest playing the game with a controller, as it's not very keyboard friendly.

Do you get charged extra or does it just go to 56k if you go over?

I'm not really sure. I doubt we will use 30 GB all up but I would just feel guilty lol.

I can't have that on my conscience Buff!!

Mine goes to 56k. I always buy games towards the end of the month because my Internet is almost usless then. The time spent playing Psyconauts will surely make up for the bandwidth lost from downloading it.

It's the best adventure game I've played. Massively underrated, it's pure awesomeness.

Still not sure? Click

The gameplay itself is tedious unless you enjoy generic platforming and collecting stuff - it's like Sonic or Mario, only much less fun.

But there are two scenes that are just so absurd and hilarious and genius that it makes the whole experience worthwhile.

If you can suffer a lot of crappy platforming, then yes, get it. You will not regret it after seeing Lungfishopolis or The milkman conspiracy levels, but the game as a whole is not worth a play in my opinion.
