It's actually a really fun game. I was surprised by it, to be honest. It's definitely worth the money, however it WILL get repetitive...especially after your characters go through like 3 days to beat a dungeon, and that loser Jasper constantly coming home crying. I would say its better than LostWinds, though.
Also, I think it would be cool if they had more kinds of games like this. Except they wouldn't lose their steam after a few hours...
