Count me as someone who also loves this game. Turn based strategy involving werewolves vs. zombie and vampire nazis? Hell yes. You do have to use *strategy* though. I understand that people have different tastes and may not like it, but I don't understand the ones that said it was too hard and they kept dying early on. I've found it pretty hard to die when there's an auto restoration skill you can set after the very *first* incredibly easy intro battle. Even if you receive lethal damage, turn this skill on and your character will heal themselves if you have a healing item on you. Not only can you buy healing items in between missions, but just search corpses on the battlefield and you get tons of healing items, ammo, and weapons. And if you think it's unfair as opposed to challenging that they drop a ton of zombies on you as reinforcements when you thought the battle was over, just turn on cover ambush and you can turn them into swiss cheese because your troops get to shoot them every time they move, even if it's not your turn. Or just use some of the billions of grenades lying on dead Nazis. I'd say the game is challenging enough to keep you on your toes, but by no means impossible. If you've played a turn based strategy game before, then use a little strategy and you should be able to handle this game. Unless you just really suck.
Now, if you don't like the game because of the camera, I can understand that complaint. There should be a good overhead view that lets see most or all of the battlefield at once. Still, I got used to the camera pretty quickly, and it does help that the right and left triggers automatically take you through the enemies when targeting.
My advice is to take the reviews with a grain of salt (most of the metacritic pros hated it -but many of them game the Wii Fire Emblem a poor grade, too, because they thought it was too hard, whereas most users worship that game- while lots of the Amazon user reviewers love it, so you've really got to decide for yourself) and try the demo. Unfortunately, with no instruction booklet there's a lot they don't tell you with the demo, like how you can stand over a dead enemy and search him for supplies, how much weight affects your movement, or how all the cover moves really work. Still, give it a go and see for yourself.
