PS2 Psychonauts?

[nsps]

I was wondering what the verdict is on the PS2 port of Psychonauts. I only have a GameCube, but since I have to go to my friend's house to play my PC version of Psychonauts, I was vaguely considering getting another console. It might seem like less of a waste if I could play Psychonauts and Katamari Damacy.

So, enough rambling, does it have everything the other versions have? (I don't care much about graphics as long as I'm getting what the designers intended.)

I played both the PS2 and PC version, but I have yet to beat the PS2 built so I can't say how the Meat Circus is. (I'm trying to get to rank 100 before finishing, I'm currently at 96. It shall be done later today.)

Well the PS2 versions graphics (you said you don't care, but still) aren't as bad as many people say. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of anti-alising. The framerate is also choppy (especially in Mila's Dance Party), but I grew up with the N64 so I hardly notice.

Now here's a real problem: sound bugs exist throughout the PS2 version. There's one specific bug that makes the voice acting disappear until you restart the game, the music also jams when you save 'til it's done saving and then goes to normal (it's not serious, but it bothers me). It's not that serious, but it's definitely something you should know.

I also heard of another bug in the Meat Circus when you're up against Raz's dad, apparently the game got stuck at a certain part of it for some people.

I also have a problem seeing BobCat's logo after the DF one. It just bothers me, it's like a reminder that you're playing a port (though I understand them needing recognition for porting it).

The controlls are great, the FMVs are in the same quality as the rest, and it plays great. So it's still a phenomenal game.

So it's a good version, I prefer it over the PC just because of right stick camera control. It's also more convenient for me because I don't have to handle my brother's tyranny over our PC (damn you World of Warcraft!).

So it's good.

EDIT: And the load times are longer than the other versions by three seconds or so.

Excellent, another Psychonauts thread. I wanted to comment on this, but I didn't want to make a new thread. I have just been digging through the DFAC archives (specifically August 1, 2002) and all of a sudden the

"You have the insanity... of a manatee!"

comment makes a whole lot more sense.

That is all. You may now continue your Psychonauts PS2 discussion.

Hopefully Majesco will get copies of the fucking game in stores so Doublefine won't have to close down because Majesco doesn't know how to sell a game.
