while the production values are certainly nice this has to be the most expensive 'runner' type game ive seen.

Exactly.

If i needed (intro) animation for products or other 'show' related i'd pay the list price for it....it has great value,
but as a game ? (thinking........ ) ah : nope :D not even at 9.99 or less. Sorry.

Anyway, this doesnt mean i never spend money on games, i did, but the games were real games

before the euro i easily spend 69 to 139 hfl for 1 (one) game ( retail ofcourse on cd/dvd)
examples:

Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty ,Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines,Fallout , Fallout 2 , Fallout Tactics,
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 Red Alert, , Red Alert 2 ( + expansion yuri revenge) Age of Empires 1 and 2
Dune, Dune 2000,Gorky 17, ( and many more) in short: all real games with beautiful backgrounds and art, no 3d renderings.

They don't make games like that anymore, they can't and don't want to make games like that cause it looks too old and dated to the develoeprs and publishers ( thats why the switch to casual games which do look modern BUT casualgames are supposed to look modern).

Anyway trying to get my old Dune 2000 to run again cause it will never be released again (DRM free) and i don't intend to buy games from EA with shiploads of DRM :D

Not Thumper.
*sigh*

Dune 2000 is exellent though my all time fav Dune.

Agreed

It actually looks like a really nice game however, since it's a runner rather than the traditional platformer, I will have to pass on this one. Which is unfortunate since it looks incredible otherwise, I mean aesthetically at least. The one review it has says positives about it as well. I might pick it up on a really deep discount but that's as far as I could go with this.
