I'm not sure if this is an example of good Shiny games, they has their "wow" games that you don't see today, sacrifice being the most different to me. This game, its pretty unremarkable and quite boring. The only reason its worth 2 stars over 1 is because the Shiny vibe it gives off. I need to buy sacrifice :-P

I loved Sacrifice and obviously Earthworm Jim 1 and 2. I also found Enter the Matrix to be a fun and fairly solid game. I know it had issues, but it told a decent story and recreated some great Matrix moments or at least gave me the feel of actually being part of it all.
It often seems that the more ambitious a project the more gamers get left with shattered expectations.
