The gameplay is assertively mediocre, and there are massive graphical glitches such as pop-in and slow-down throughout. Unless this game has changed massively from the demo, it's not higher than a low 8, and even then only cause of the awesome presentation. |
I wouldn't care if reviewers got a burr in their ass over the graphics and glitches and gameplay and it ended up averaging a 6.5, I'd still buy it because it's Tim Schafer. ....Writing for Jack Black.
It is good to identify with a fellow fan, but on that note you will understand if I do not give a crap about problems. Psychonauts is still one of my favorite games, and it is almost brutally flawed.

I'm buying it too... just saying it's not a 9 game, objectively, in any way. Look: There's a difference between your favorite game, and the best game ever made. There are standards of quality development that this game is clearly lacking. Again, I love Tim Schafer, and I will buy this game, but as a piece of software, it has major quality issues that are easily visible.
