So... Just finished this. I think I got the bad ending, seeing as the last sequences were kind of dull and the the usual "Stray Sheep" song played during the credit rolls. I was left slightly disappointed by the ending I got, but it still was an excellent experience.
Picked this up for a rather good price the other day at Best Buy and damn is the story as good as I've been hearing. No matter how hard and frustrating a level gets, I just can't seem to stop playing until I fully finish a level, just because I really want to know what happens when Vincent wakes up the next morning. I bet level 4 earlier tonight and was completely absorbed by the cutscene after, that's some top notch storytelling if I've ever seen it.
Speaking of gameplay, I don't understand the comparisons to Q*Bert (although that's usually said by the ill-informed), but to me it's more like a strange mix of Intelligence Cube and a platformer, since the game really makes you think fast in tight situations.
Even tho I haven't completed it yet, it's easily going on my "Best of 2011" list.
