The Milkman stage is one of the singularly brilliant moments of video game history. |

It is all kinds of excellent. |

The Milkman stage was my favorite stage in the whole game. I also really enjoyed the Goggelor stage, too, for its parody of monster movies. Truly a clever concoction of wit they managed to put together with this, and I still think fondly of it despite its obvious mechanical flaws. |

I've gone through again and weeded out the typos I've missed. Hopefully I caught them all. A lot of them came from sentences I edited at zero hour and did a shoddy job of ensuring I'd not taken out then obsolete words.

If it weren't for the Meat Circus level, Psychonauts would almost be a perfect game.

I actually have a save file parked at the Lungfish stage so I can stomp around at will. That stage just makes me smile.

Ooh, this resonates. I'm one of the poor keyboard players, and where else would I strand but at the Meat Circus, where I am pretty certain the sequence of moves the game wants from me requires more fingers than the average human has. By this time I'd long come to rely on YouTube videos showing exactly where to go and what to do - at this point even the LP'er repeatedly failed the move. Made me feel a little better about throwing in the towel, much as I hate to do that right at the final stage. |

I feel for you. When I replayed the game on the PC to write this review, I played more than half the game on the keyboard. I'd like to try and sound noble by claiming this was because I wanted an organic PC experience to base the review on, but the truth was that my gamepad was upstairs and, urgh, stairs.

Sounds familiar. I think it might have been. I do remember I had to gently scroll the camera with a mouse motion while holding down three keys and then still using WASD to steer gently, but not too gently. Perhaps then to press space for a jump, not sure anymore. But it was just more than I could do at any one time, and I tried for a fair amount of time.
