At $U.S.15 it's DAMN cheap, and well worth checking out,but admittedly it's not my kind of game. If you haven't played it, I'd still rent it first though before buying, as the game really does cater to a niche audience demographic.
I found the fighting controls a bit awkward (not as bad a Resident evil though!), and the gameplay lacked any real fun, but as I said, phyco thrillers aren't my kind of game, and I only bought it because of the stella reviews - you might love it!
Maybe Nintendo is trying to create a sales surge so that Silicon Knights don't feel too bad about it's relatively low sales?
I just wish all publishers would DRAMATICALY slash prices of games a year after release! I know my bank balance would be a lot higher!
