@Don Reba – I’d say that probably does change things a bit, as well. A fiver’s less bank-breakingly awful to deal with when you realise the game is bloody terrible. But, depending on your leanings, it might be worth that price for the laughs.

The game is £5 on Steam now, in celebration of Victory Day. :)

It’s one of the few occasions where the price has been a significant factor in my recommendation. For a fiver, like Xercies says, it might be worth it for the fifteen minutes of giggles. For the best part of twenty quid, you can get something far superior that fulfils the same purpose.

I suspect this is going to sell a lot either way, just for the curiosity factor. My take is that it’s irrefutably bad, but you feel somewhat in on the joke. Which is fine – until you realise you could have bought a much better game instead.

It’s probably the most fun I’ll ever have with a 35% game.

It does interest me, but I would only get it if its on sale for at the most £5.

I hope the developers release their sales numbers. I wonder how many people might actually belong to this category.

I am a real person! Honest!

You’re a lucky one. I guess you fall into the same bizarre category as myself. Though I do suspect, had I actually paid for the thing, I’d be far less inclined to have enjoyed myself.

You’re unfortunately right about a lot of the big blockbuster stories. Some of my favourite videogame narratives – hell, *most* of my favourite videogame narratives – are from weird little indie games no one has heard of.

As a reviewer, you understandably cannot say that stories of almost all games are garbage, but a real person can sometimes admit that there are only trace differences between the quality of plot in Stalin vs Martians and almost any of the epic blockbusters released last year.

So… yeah… it is not a good game by any format measure, but I don’t regret buying it. :)
