A solid game with hours of fun

This is a well-made, smoothly-playing, visually-entertaining game. At the sub $10 price, its 4 stars. Anything more than $10 is 3 stars. The reason it doesnt earn 5 stars is that using the same difficulty level, the challenges are not evenly matched. The storyline progression levels are much easier than the skill tests. I understand that "tests" means they should be increasingly harder, but its extremely difficult - almost impossible - to complete all the tests vs the level of skill it takes to complete a storyline level. The other flaw is that the town isnt really interactive enough or usefull beyond a few upgrades. For a classic adventure game-player, like myself, I expect that the town will be a bit of an entertaining break from the slogging fragfest, this town isnt, its just annoying that I have to walk all the way back through it up to the teleport every time. Lastly, the narrators voice and manner of speaking is cool and funny at first, but it soon begins to wear on you.
The game is definitely worth $10.
