So disappointing. I went through all the tutorials, and was really impressed with where the game seemed to be going. Even the short cutscene, at the beginning of the game, suggested a quirky story, which I always enjoy. The premise of gameplay though seems to be a sort of abbreviated RTS, but the controls are unwieldy. I found it terribly difficult to control the direction of my storms. That's too bad too, because it's such a cool idea for a game.

So it's simply sim city with just the disaster part?
Im somehow having a really hard time imagining how the missions would actually look like...

Level 1
Destroy all cities

Level 2
Destroy all cities

Level 3
Destroy all cities

Level 4 - Boss
Destroy all cities by ONLY USING TORNADO!

LOL i would probably get very bored of this game very quickly.

Piss poor budget title from THQ. I tried this out and it is fine until the 3rd level, then it just gets aggravating due to various factors. At first the 2 levels aren't that big of a deal with tornado and lightning. In the 2nd stage you hit where one can get wiped out, so you have to use another. In the 3rd you get quakes, but they put a really shady objective where you have X minutes to drop 6 points, but around each is one of each storm killer. You have minimal point regen, and not enough time to drop things, and fancy enough the ONLY thing the quake can't kill is the target...takes like 2-3 rumblers (2 with a booster bonus.) Basically...combine some shittily placed blocks, controls that are very dodgy trying to control the storm (due to how it needs a good drag and such a teeny DS screen to do it in) and a really crappy amount of 'points' to make a storm...it gets tedious, aggravating, and ultimately self-defeating shit about 30min into it.
