From what I've heard it's not just great if you like the video game, it's excellent regardless. It's supposed to have a great AI system, making it a fantastic solo game as well as a tense co-op. I'm very excited to be getting it for basically $30, I'm sorry to hear about the high shipping costs internationally but TBH it's not that surprising, the shipping weight is very nearly 5 lbs. Importing board games is always an expensive affair.
