This looks kinda like a Castle Crashers rts. Which is a good thing imo, only two hours per fraction kinda sucks, but oh well. I'll most likely get it this Monday.

Great game. Must have for Wii owners.
Careful now, I don't want people doing what I did :p! I supposed it's a great game for people who have a Wii and like strategy games... otherwise, pass! I always let me get hyped by any kind of RTS people say it's good, but no matter how good is it, it's not my type of game.
So, yeah, it's a good game, but really think well if you'll get your money's worth. I didn't, but like I said, it's not the game's fault, it's mine.

Is there a difficulty level adjustment for it? I've skimmed over a few reviews and haven't seen any mention of a difficulty option. It's also unfortunate that the versus mode isn't online (though I guess that's to be expected).

There is no difficulty adjustment for the Single Player campaign nor skirmish mode. However, for skirmish mode you can set up handicaps for you, so you start with more gold, mana, troops etc.
Also, you can change the game speed between slow, normal and fast. I guess that's as close as you get to a true difficulty setting, since playing on fast can be pretty brutal, while playing on slow almost make the game pointless to play :p.
Hope that helps you make a decision.

I can't believe there hasn't been more discussion about this game as it is awesome. But I am having a hard time with level 10 in the Aztec Campaign.

Im a sucker for RTS/SIM games, and this isn't any different. Reminds me too much of starcraft.
I bought this (first Wiiware/VC type purchase for me in a long time) and had a blast with it. I appreciated that it was fairly short - it lasted just long enough IMO to hold my interest through completion. I haven't tried the multiplayer but I helped my son play thtough the campaign. I suppose I could play against him.

I haven't played much, but I love this game. I just wish it had on-line multiplayer.

I would have been sold had it included online multiplayer. But without it, I think I"ll pass.

I got it today. I'm going to wait till Wednesday to play it.
Edit#1: Stuck in the last level for the Aztecs. The computer cheats like crazy. They're using 20+ people to harvest for gold and then could output more people in their query then me. They're cheating bastards. I destroy one base and then sent 50+ enemies at me. I have no idea where they're coming from.
