If you got a chance to play the first one on the other console ( which shall remain nameless) then you probably had a pretty good time commanding your minions to do your bidding. The second round seems to be more of the same with some added features.
While I have not completed the game yet, I have had a pretty good time listening to my minions chatter and watching them destroy.
This is not the best looking game but it makes up for that with a good old fashioned fun game. For those who have played the first one, it starts out slowly teaching you the basics of the game. Controls, targeting (much needed improvement) and fighting. The game starts to pick up after you get past the learning session and you begin to feel powerful. Mind controlling peasants never gets old and they are actually fairly helpful in battle. At the very least you can use them as meat shields to keep fire off of you until you are ready. As your lead minion tells you, if you get bored with them, you can always kill them.
This is a fun game that I recommend giving a chance. Make it past the tutorials and if you still don't like it send it back, but I think that you will have a good time with this game.
I gave it an 8 because there are some things that could be improved. The camera angles, maybe an aiming reticule. Could have done better with the looks but these are all minor things that should not take away from the gaming experience. Since the gameplay is why most of us play games, its a good game.
Play the game and make up your own mind and have some fun.
