I remember reading about this game in a web, and deciding that while it seemed interesting, it was not enough to purchase it. So, is it really worth it?
I feel it was, and the people I showed it to felt it was. I can tell you, I've spent $60+ on other games that got hyped up I.E. Ace Combat: Assault Horizon and realized that my money had been thrown in the !@#$ter. Tokyo Jungle isn't perfect, and no it isn't worth $60+ but if you ever get a chance to play it at a friend's house or play the demo, you should try it out, you might end up liking it. That's actually how two of my friends got hooked, played it with me, then left to go and buy it and they had resisted playing at first because they were skeptical.
