To be honest looks Odama looks pretty lame compareed to other stratergy games out there. However since the Cube Libarary is limited you might as well buy it and get a nice speaker to command your forces.
Also the game has been out in Japan for awhile. There is also a RPG online for the Cube that is in 2d but then again
i really lucked out, i traded Odama in at a local store for $28 in credit last week. I had bought it from GameFly for $30 and it was an awful game. I guess it would be okay for $10, but it is not really a strategy game, it is a luck/pinball game
