One of a kind game

Loved this game. Has a good sense of humour and doesn't take itself seriously (it is basically a parody of all the old cheesy bond movies), which makes it really enjoyable to play. Even the ingame menu is hilarious. It is centered around building and expanding an evil genius lair, really satifying, especially building trap systems. Sound track is superb. …

Loved this game. Has a good sense of humour and doesn't take itself seriously (it is basically a parody of all the old cheesy bond movies), which makes it really enjoyable to play. Even the ingame menu is hilarious. It is centered around building and expanding an evil genius lair, really satifying, especially building trap systems. Sound track is superb. Like Zelda Windwaker, the graphics age really well, being designed to be 'cartoon like'. Would defintely reccomend, especially if you enjoy RTS genre or just want to try something unique.
