This is a great game.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Awesome. Now I just need a controller.

 

[KaOTiK]

I haven't played this game since it first came out and man it is just as great as it was the first time through the characters/writing is just great

 

[Arglebargle]

Agreed. Just a tremendous game. I think these guys did Grim Fandango as well, yes?

Some of the same people, but not the same company.
The guys who got pissed working at Lucas Arts left and did indie stuff, like Psychonauts.

Have give this a shot for $2. I need something that will play on a GeForce 7900GS anyway while I sell my GTX 275.

Does the game work well with keyboard + mouse controls?

I see that it came out about 6 months before the launch of the 360, so I assume that it doesn't include native support for the 360 controller. May have to dig my Logitech Rumblepad out of the closet for this one.

Pretty old game, but excellent. We need more games in this genre. Also I think this would be best played with a controller...

 

[esun]

Excellent game. I had no problems playing it with KB + mouse controls.

 

[pennylane]

Can't resist.

 

[Born2bwire]

Great game. Too bad I already have it. The levels are really fantastic and imaginative.

 

[Rakewell]

Bought it yesterday. Fantastic game.

Why have I never heard of this one?

Why have I never heard of this one?

Upon it's release, the sales weren't too good. I'm sure the marketing didn't do the game justice at the time.

Agreed. Just a tremendous game. I think these guys did Grim Fandango as well, yes?
