A famous general developed an ingenious weapon called the Odama -- a gigantic ball that destroys everything it strikes.

 Rating: - A fun starter game for GameCubeThis was a perfect starter game for my boys (7 & 11)--fun and challenging without it being impossible--lots of strategy to learn in the different levels of the game. The one drawback is that you need to buy a memory card separately in order to save the game every time you play. Rating: - A modern cult classicThe world of gaming is filled with been-there-done-that RPGs, sports titles that are the same year after year, button-mashing fighters, and racing games where you, um, just race.

Proving it doesn't take fancy HDTV's and overpriced consoles to have an amazing game. What we have here is a mix of strategy wargame and pinball that is unlike anything you have ever played before. Toss in an included microphone, and a wide range of voice commands for your troops, and you have a totally unique experiance! Superb themed graphics, a fantastic asian soundtrack, authentic asian voice all add ... Read More Rating: - Finally! Something fresh and fun!In a world of same old, same old video games, it's a pleasure to play a game that is unique and fun. There is really no other games like this around. I was suprised to see how effectively the two game types could be combined so effectively. The balance between the them is executed very well, though it is challengeing to get the coordination of the sending the pinball (the odama) into action and guiding your soldiers to victory. At least at first. I have read other reviews ... Read More |
