Pros
This game WILL suck you in. Whether you are a casual gammer, who prefers simple things, like myself, or die-hard, 24/7 hi-tech person, you can't help but play and play. It's amazing how the most simple games are the best!
Cons
Get it before Microsoft has it pulled. I plan on getting an X-Box just for the game that this one is inspired by.
Summary
Old school fun!

Pros
In an age where hi tech graphics 'n sound are THE thing to get, it is refreshing to see an old school game like this making waves! Doesn't reqire an expensive PC setup, just nerves 'o steel!
Cons
This game is HARD!
Summary
Awesome!

Pros
This is old school video gaming at it's best! Simple to learn, difficult to master. It takes strategy and some fast moving fingers, especially on the "hard" setting. Sometimes it's nice to be able to distract yourself for a few minutes with a good, simple video game - this one delivers.
Cons
Highly addictive!
Summary
it's great
