Put it like this: This is probably one of the most enjoyable piece of early-Beta code that I've ever played. You want to damn Atari for releasing it like this. However, you also want to hail them for spending money on something of Boiling Point's ambition rather than the safe option. After all, if this sells nothing, the lesson publishers will learn won't be "Don't release unfinished games" but "Don't invest in ambitious ones".

That said, none of those ideological musings should really impinge on your buying decisions. All that matters is whether you're going to enjoy it enough to be worth the money. Hopefully, by looking at yourself and understanding your relative need for a freeform action-adventure game versus your willingness to put up with a lot of unnecessary crap, you'll now know whether this most bemusing of games is for you.

Me? Despite everything, I like it a lot. When talking to someone about this, he asked how can you give something this broken a fairly decent mark? Well, if you still enjoy it.

I enjoyed it. Many of you will too. But don't say you weren't warned.
