The title really speaks for itself, but this is actually a very addictive game. I just got it and I'm royally hooked. The only real drawback is that there's no multiplayer. But the maps are diverse enough to keep most avid RTS fans going for quite awhile.

Anyway, if you want to see proof of the title, then here are a few clips of the game in action. There's actually alot more to it than this, four Alignments and each has their own different tiers of units, ranging from really cute to big and bad---.

One note, these are all from Campaign maps. The Single Scenario maps all give you different stipulations, but generally expect you to know how to use every unit and they WILL TRY TO KILL YOU. So if you get the game, definitely go through the Campaign first.

Had this pre-ordered the minute I heard about it. My copy is currently stashed away - being saved as a birthday present. Looks like it definitely doesn't disappoint, though. If the art is anything like what's shown in the bonus postcard book it's going to look amazing on screen.

I haven't given my review of it yet, as I haven't finished the game, but it's really fun. The only real drawback to it (though minor) is that there's no multiplayer. I kind of expected it though because it's a console game, so it didn't really seem too odd or anything.

Still, the game itself is great and there's almost no slowdown at all, even when a bunch of units are on the screen at a time.

The way the game is handled reminds me of Advance Wars in some ways.

Great to hear you're enjoying the game, SBaby! Looks like another winner from NISA. ^^

Didn't Odin Sphere suffer from this problem?
