The value story
It has been discounted 91 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The nearest things to it, The Universim ($29.99, scores 58) and Stardeus ($29.99, scores 43), are both worse buys on this math.
$67.64 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $19.99.

What players say
It's got amazing replay value due to being able to design your own creatures to play as, lots of customization in the creatures themselves and pretty good gameplay. Definitely recommend if it's on sale.

although the game is very outdated it is always a beautiful experience, the creativity has no limits you choose a world of your desire build life, give descriptions, and have a blast, it is such a great game, after you already do a playthrough your own creations from other worlds can be a part of your new playthrough it is such a cool aspect in a game and i HIGHLY recommend playing it all the way through having tons...
I love this game, I don't play often, but when I do, it SO much fun. It brings me so much nostalgia from playing it when i was younger, back when it came out. This was also made by pre-greedy EA, so its so much fun, even without the two DLC's they made.
