The value story

The value story

88 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 72 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 71 percent. TimeShift™ ($19.99, scores 43) outscores it, and so does Crysis ($29.99, scores 42). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

The atmosphere and cutscenes are pretty good for a game from 2003. Everything is pretty good!

Bought it for insidegaming nostalgia, it's still funny asf and it feels weird to be the one playing it now, remembering all the funny videos they made. Also the level designer must've been high asf, the maps are labyrinths.
