I played that when it came out, having missed out on 1 & 2 back in the day, and despite being able to tough out Splinter Cell this was what finally convinced me that "slow" stealth games were not for me. I tried it again after listening to a bunch of people gush about how much they loved the thief series as a whole, and that's when I put it in the "mail to younger relatives" bin.
It shouldn't discourage you from older console titles, unless they've been horribly ported (RE4 pc springs to mind). I've been on a Gamecube renaissance since buying a Wii, and I'm pretty sure some of those have been the best I've played in a while. You know the PS2 version's like ten bucks at most, right?
It's like 10 bucks on Steam, too. I haven't had a console since the Sega Genesis. I don't EVEN have a TV (psh).

Anyway, I like polished 3d platformers a great deal, and I would say BG&E is probably the best mix of gameplay quality and an interesting story in that genre from that generation. The only thing I remember disliking was the tiny part of hovercraft racing which just felt tacked on.
I liked Psychonauts a lot (even though I never finished the stupid meat circus), and this seems very similar in style, without the parts where I fall to my death and have to restart the level five hundred times. The controls seem a little obtuse, especially for inventory, but nothing serious.
I don't know if I'd really call it a platformer, but I've only played for a couple hours so who knows.

I wouldn't call it a platformer because you can't jump. NT by Fullofkittens 05/16/2008, 4:30pm PDT 
Yes you can. It's not a platformer because you can't instadie by falling. NT by Mischief Queller 05/16/2008, 4:48pm PDT
