Game ID - Xbox platformer

I was playing an Xbox kiosk in EB today when I was picking up Phantom Brave... it was a platformer with some little kid with a big head and goggles... and it was pretty much your stereotypical 3D platformer - you have a double jump, have to collect 100 widgets (which look like outlined 2D sprites), and the first level was surrounded in barbed wire. Like, you had to walk through a mine field and dodge cannon fire. And there was a suitcase who asked for his tag. There was talking in the game but it was inaudible to me cuz the volume of the Xbox kiosk was so low and all I can hear was the riff from the Gamecube demo disk selection screen (do-do-da-da-da-doo). Seems a bit like a kid's game, due to simplicity of controls and graphics. Pretty sucky description I know but the game played pretty smooth, better than most 3D platformers usually turn out. Was wondering if anybody knew the name of it.
 
Psychonauts it is... and no it wasn't a joke... (I've never really seen anything or paid much attention to the game originally). But it's a pretty good game based on the demo.

It's even better when you can hear the music and voices.
I prepaid for it once I found out it had gamepad support. I was glad I did when I hooked up my PS2 -> PC adaptor, and found out, in the demo, that my logitech wireless worked with it :D
