Should I listen to the review or buy it anyway?

The only reason I haven't bought Space HoRSE yet is that my computer doesn't meet the minimum specs for it.

I get the impression that that reviewer has no concept of the manufacturing cost of software. Shrapnel's production runs are bound to be smaller than the "big" publishers, so they can't get the same economies of scale. I doubt that even the largest publisher in the industry could turn a profit on a $10 retail price.

Too many gamers whine about the cost of the hobby anyway; they don't seem to realize that games are a luxury item.

On the other hand, other reviewers have commented that $29.95 is a bargain for Space HoRSE. This is from GameSpot:

"If you just want a way to play classic M.U.L.E. on your computer with three friends, Space HoRSE is a good purchase and is perhaps even a bargain." - Bruce Geryk

The bottom line is, if you enjoy playing the game, then it is worth the money.

Space HoRSE is well worth the $29.99. Anyone like me who has been waiting 20 years for an internet playable Version of MULE will agree with that.

I think it's a good game, and the fact the gameplay is still interesting even though the core concepts were laid out in the mid-'80s says something about its design. Download the demo, give it a try yourself, and you'll be able to tell what to expect for the price. Personally, I think it is well worth the money, but you can (and should, obviously) decide for yourself with the demo.
