What's really weird about the whole mess is that visually, the game is pretty damn impressive. It is, like the rest of the game, something that you start up and give to a three year old to keep them happy for a few minutes.īuy. Your reward? A tally of how far you went before the sweet, sweet embrace of video game death saves you from this nigh-eternal suffering.
