YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is a great strategy game. Although the one-player element may have a limited lifespan, it really comes into it's own in two-player. As all games of this style should be, it is easy to get into, but allows for a fair amount of mastery for such a simple concept. The satisfaction factor gained from having set up a massive chain of beans, or from thwarting someone else's plans, is hard to overstate. Tying it in as part of the Sonic franchise was always going to be about shifting more copies, and provides a wafer-thin plot for the Story mode, but that's not what these sort of games should be about, they're about fun and addictiveness. YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA!
