I bought this game when it first came out - yes it had issues. So i set it aside either as a write-off or (i dared to hope) something that would get fixed and live up to its true potential.

I'm very happy i waited to play it. Its been a few months since release - version 1.08.1 (i believe), and the show stopping bugs have vanished. Various control schemes are now optional, 3 skill levels available, etc.

This is a fun game!

Anyone who has bought it but set it aside in frustration, get it updated and try it again. You won't be disappointed.
If you have avoided this game because of bad reviews, take a second look. The best / most accurate review in my opinion is at honestgamers.com
They actually rated it higher than i would have but the game description is right on.

It really doesn't deserve the super low scores it has received - certainly not at its current state.

Check it out - its a lot of fun.
