Great game with a nice campaign and endless play option.

I had no idea I would get as addicted to this game as I did, playing through the campaign in only 2 evenings. It was way too much fun. Couldn't put it down.
The campaign works as a tutorial, introducing new features to you as you play along. Very well done in all its cheesyness. Nice graphics too.

Endless play is, well, endless! Tweaking it to your liking in the setup screen you can play until your hands hurt. Literally. That is the one setback with this game. You constantly have to point the Wii-mote at the screen, checking on your settlements, building things etc. After a few hours your hands and wrists hurt like crazy. That is the only reason you can't play through nights and weekends unlike the PC version. Whether that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.

Building settlements, looting treasure, invading islands and making your people happy - highly addictive gameplay!
