    A cleverly designed tongue-in-cheek conversion of the show for the main-stream-friendly price tag of $19.99. [Holiday 2006, p.112]

    It's lacking in customization options, but there's still a good deal of content to partake in. The episode-style campaign is an absolute pleasure and will no doubt please fans of the show.

This game was not worth my money.… Expand
