It's fun to order minions around and pillage things :D This game really surprised me on how fun it was ;)

My sources say the demo lasts for all of 10-15 minutes despite being over 1 gig. Is this true?

Ouch. I hope not. I was looking forward to trying this out. Can anyone confirm this?

Its pretty short, its prolly more like a half hour if you play through it thoroughly. I played it on the 360 and its a fun game. Dunno how the controls are for pc but the camera controls kinda suck for 360.

I had downloaded it over the weekend on my PC since my television is still out of service and the controls are a bit awkward on the PC in my opinion. Basically the camera is the mouse while also controlling the character at the same time. Then you use left click to send units and right click to call them back. Other than that you have various buttons on the keyboard to push or hold down that are mostly on the left side.
Had played it around 10 minutes or so in a quick session before I went to work and I felt the controls may go better on console. That's if they didn't mess them up seeing as how Pikmin had some pretty good controls and this game doesn't seem terribly different compared to it.

well the game was designed for console, but I didn't find the PC controls bad at all. The weird part was not having a crosshair making spell casting kind of huh? But the minions are fun to command around. This game is not like Pikmin at all, it's more fun ;). Pikmin got pretty boring quickly, plus u couldn't pillage villagers.
Oh yeah, it also looks better on PC so i'll prob get it for that rather than 360.
