I almost played the demo on the 360 but the pull of the family is too strong. So I picked it up so that I had something single player to try on the train to work. Started it up and played through the tutorial and wow....this game is super fun. The interactive tutorials along with the few yet helpful hints has you controlling your minions like a champ. I'm only a few hours in and I would definitely recommend this game to both adventure and RTS enthusiasts looking for a change of pace. The only cons I have are you DEFINITELY have to tweak mouse sensitivity and the sweeping controls could use some slight work IMO. Sweeping basically lets you control your dudes from afar and I had some rough patches using it.

All in all I play a lot of games and this was the first one to really grab me in a while. Enjoy!
