I bought it. I played it. Its okay. I made the mistake of trying to
play it with my 5-1/2" year old son. He seemed to understand the
board part of the game, like getting Tyranosaruos Rex to eat another
one, etc., but when you zoom into the monster/video portion of the
game things get too complicated.


Therefore I say this - for the experienced (9 and up) the game seems
to be pretty good. For the stategy minded it reminds me of Archon.
I'll keep it, but I await a cheat for my son. (Who by the ways LOVES
battle squadron now that we can cheat) 

Apparently, kids at the age need to have a finite beginning and end
to things to have fun in a game sometimes, unlike some adults....
