Reviews - still-unchained

Every time I've entered the multiplayer lobby it's been just me, no indication that there are other people afoot but they're currently in-game or anything like that. (I suppose this COULD be the case.. or MP is just dead.) A few more bells and whistles there (a greeter bot, something showing me average wait times to play.. i dunno, something) might help jump-start the community a bit.

As for single-player, it's a fun complex game and I've had some fun fooling around with it, but it also feels it's missing something. There's no "campaign" as such, just 5 challenges (solve a puzzle kind of deal) and 5 skirmishes.. 4 of which are special-rules fights making them no different in essence from the challenge mode.

The manual is excellent but the in-game tutorials aren't the least bit interactive (beyond it telling you exactly what to click) and with no story mode or AI difficulty settings I found the game somewhat hard to pick up. Now that I've more-or-less forced myself to learn it I can somewhat appreciate its depth.

The UI and program itself have been 100% smooth and bug-free for me so far, and I certainly can't argue with the price tag.
