GameSpy, however, is a website that gives away the answer to the riddle of whether The Cave is worth playing: yes. It doesn't hit the ability-powered platforming highs of Trine or the old-school adventure challenge of Maniac Mansion, and it appears the devs struggled to focus and define this ambiguous hybrid. Still, it's a unique, funny, $15 adventure with some terrific characters and dialog, and a memorable voice performance from The Cave itself.
