Boxed with manual and barely a few marks on the disc, £50 voucher is pretty good. It's a mixed/mediocre game although I found the lighting and graphics quite impressive - apparently it was in development hell for years, changed in-game perspectives 3 times, and wasn't released until 2000, 3 years after the associated film.
If I could 1:1 swap for Tears of the Kingdom that'll probably be good, as I bought that as a gift for someone else so they kept it.

I bought a copy of that specifically for modding the wii side of my Wii U, and it only cost something like £5.
