Pretty much my thinking, too, although I downloaded the trial version and still thoroughly enjoyed itIt's a pretty addictive game. I've only got the demo at the moment but I was playing it last night for about four hours. I'm probably going to get the game but I'll get the DS version as I think it's more fun playing a game like that on a portable.
I had the PSP version but traded it in because of the bug that means you don't get the benefit of part members' skills.
So how is the online multiplayer? Would be curious to hear your opinions?
Has anyone researched any of the very hard spells yet. Trying to do Regeneration (when u capture a troll) and i got it down to the last three scrolls and there were no more moves left so game finished. Upto lvl 25 now. Even the missus loves it (at least it gets her away from playing Zuma all the time)
