The value story

The value story

July 2013 is where it bottomed out, at $0.62. It has been discounted 90 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 86 percent, about 6 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 65 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 87 percent. On the same math Tomb Raider I (1996) ($6.99, scores 56) and Tomb Raider II (1997) ($6.99, scores 72) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
