Odama--worth the wait?

Have you ever had the feeling that something you have been waiting for a long time for just does not satisfy? Then you know my feelings about Odama.

Odama combines feudal Japan, real time strategy, and pinball, and, at points, it just does not do quite well. The Odama, the pinball, is lethargic and cumbersome, and you'll be finding yourself to be tilting the 'table' to actually move the Odama. Your troops can be really stupid, resulting in you repeating voice commands, which can be tiring. The backrounds can be pretty good at times, but the character models are HORRENDOUS. As in like PS1 or N64 3D models bad. All that aside, Odama can be fun when you get used to the controls. It's just that the game grows on you, and you just want to keep playng, even though it is extremely hard. Overall, Odama was a huge dissapointment, but life goes on. There will be more unique games.
