Hello everyone,
I'm not quite sure what to do with this simple-looking sentence. It's part of a press release about a video game (not a particuarly unusual one) and I'm not sure if it means "A game of the highest quality" or "A highly-sophisticated game" or "A game with a difference" (which is isn't, really).
All insights much appreciated!

an exceptional/extraordinary game
maybe something along these lines ... I also thought about "unique" in the sense of "nothing else like it on the market" but that might be stretching it .....

A very special game!
It is a catch phrase, supposed to make you curious. ..."der besonderen Art" includes a bit of a wink of the eye, something unexpected.

: I think this gets the idea across - it makes you curious because it doesn't really tell you anything. That's advertising! ;-)
