Funny but oh so frustrating

The Good:
Funny, original, well-animated cut scenes and in-game quips. Nice use of spatial sound.
The Bad:
The camera looks everywhere but where you need it. In some places, like the museum, you miss the humor because the camera is looking elsewhere. Now add imprecise controls. Sound fun yet? Well, it's full of game play clichés and not just the measly 31 you are rewarded for finding. Then there's "Around the world in 80 bites" where the developers made an 8-hour game last for 12. This level has a time limit and, when you don't complete all the goals in time, you restart the level over again ... and again ... and again. Plus the in-game graphics are a jarring contrast to the well-drawn cut scenes. Where's the shadows? In some places you can't judge your character's depth without a shadow.
Summary:
If you can, try a console version of this game. Otherwise, pass on this poorly put together PSP port.
