I plan on buying it it's just, It doesn't seem to be worth $50.

 

And that is the problem RIGHT THERE! That's the same reason I haven't bought it myself. I really WANT the game, but I have doubts as to what the price point on the game should be.

...and if anybody is to blame for this, refer back to the same jackass 3rd party developers who have been pushing out shovelware at an alarming rate. In my eyes, they've created a perception of value for their work - unless that box has Nintendo stamped on it, I am NOT putting out $50 for it. I'd pick it up if it were $30 or $40, but $50 is reserved for 'quality' titles, and I'm EXTEREMELY gun shy with any 3rd party game right now.

 

Um, it does offer dozens upon dozens of hours of play time, something like well over a hundred puzzles and levels, and is pretty much fully customizable. The mulitplayer aspect creates limitless replay value. I mean, you'll pay $60 for Call of Duty 4 with it's, what, 6-hour single player game, but you won't pay $50 for a game with dozens of hours of single-player play? Really? You don't see the value there?
