What's the deal with this game? The first release with all its chapters was regarded as an amazing game. I even played some of the first and enjoyed it. Since then, I know they released a 2nd game and then a third? And I think they weren't as good from what I heard. I'm just shocked they are continuing to make new ones, I guess. I just figure there would be no way to recapture what made the first special and will never sell as much as it did.
