I feel sorry for anyone who looks upon the game and says it is not as good as Psychonaughts.
Perhaps people want it to be the sequal to Psychonaughts, maybe they expected it to play like Psychonaughts.
It doesn't.
It's not Psychonauts, nor does it play like Psychonauts, the source material is different from Psychonauts. And so on.
Does that make it a bad game?

Not at all. I happily (even before BEATING the game) can declare this game SUPERIOR to Psychonauts in almost all regards.
I can say that I didn't laugh out loud at the jokes in Psychonauts all to often.
Brutal Legend had me rolling countless times, even when I was in the middle of fighting a boss battle.

This is for Wade and your sad misconceptions of a great game.

I think Wade is all to often a part of a crowd that heralds what they were first introduced too, and anything other/different than that they deem unworthy or insuperior. It happens with fans of video games allot.

Anyway the game's lots of fun. I'm just typing this while I wait for my new project board to dry. Then I have to glue more stuff yay!
