Doctor Who - Time of the Daleks 5th and 10th Doctor Expansion

A long, long time ago (possibly during another regeneration),...

I actually started rewatching the 10th Doctor because I couldn't find my 5th Doctor DVDs.

Yeah, when this was first announced I was SO excited about it. GF9 doing a Doctor Who game and with ALL of the Doctors seemed like a can't miss proposition. But the game was just...a game. It felt rushed, perfunctory, and completely uninspired. It felt like a "bad" licensed game more than it did something like what GF9 did with their other properties. When the other Doctors were parceled out of it, I just lost all interest.

Somehow, I still have it but I didn't bother with the expansions. I guess I'll probably unload it soon.

If these expansions had come out when the game came out I would have bought them, even though the game wasnt really that great. Pretty easy to ignore them like 20 years later.

I'm more kindly disposed toward this game than it deserves, just based on the license. That said, I think a lot of my biggest beef with it is actually how thin on content the original game was. More Doctors is a good thing for this one.

It's still a game that never rises above pretty good, and with the low availability in Asian distributors I might never get this. But I would like it in theory at least.

Weird thing is that the miniature quality on the other expansion I picked up (6th and 2nd Doctor) is noticeably inferior to the ones in this expansion... but it included a Bill Potts card which was a nice surprise. I'll probably still seek out all the expansions but I don't hold out any hope they will be anything more than "more stuff"
