ORIGINAL: krooh I didn't say I wasn't buying the game, just wondering why the larger then usual price tag. I guess that is currently my stumbling block as well. Currently I feel that same about this game. Looks great, the depth is incredible, but will I in the end be overwhelmed by the depth and not play, or will I embrace the depth and enjoy the game? I don't mind outlaying the money if I feel I will get a good return on it. I looked at War in the Pacific for a few months before deciding not to outlay the money. Not because I didn't like the look of the game, but because in the end I didn't know if I would enjoy the game, considering the complex nature of it. A quick demo would of made my mind up one way or another, and in the end the producer has lost any chance of getting my money now that my mind is made up. Here I sit at the same cross roads. Is there any thoughts of releasing a demo of WitE? I believe the release of maybe the 10 turn small scenario as a demo would only increase sales, so a broader cross section of people would be exposed to the game and be willing to outlay the higher than normal price. No demo planned, but there are some videos of it on youtube that I've seen others post the links for. If you check out some of the reviews online that are listed here http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2676008 you'd get a decent idea of the game. This game is detailed like WitP, but if you start with small scenarios you can jump in and start playing fairly quickly moving units around, attacking the enemy, etc. There's lot of things you can do once you decide you want to find out about those things, but very few things that you have to do. Do you like IGOUGO games? That's the question I'd ask first. The game costs a lot because as stated, it's targeted at a niche market and for that market it will provide hundreds/thousands of enjoyable gameplay hours.
