I like the concept of the game, just as I did mushroom men. But similar to that game, the meat and potatoes of this game seem like somthing that could get old after 12 minutes or so.
I’m going to wait for some more reviews to dump in before I waste any money renting this one.

Hmmm, 3 comments so far. Not a good sign for the game if the hardcore fans aren’t talking about it.
