Plus, my dad will play it with me (thus the high tilt). If you need flashy graphics and lots of movement to keep your attention, then you will not enjoy this game with it's static world. But if you enjoy trying to wrestle the world from the grip of the guy or girl sitting next to you based on fate and dumb luck, then you just may find yourself wanting to play over and over.
