This is an RTS very focused on micro management. I feel that they really took away from the whole idea of RTS. There is some very humorous and interesting elements of this game, but there is a whole of nothingness. After a few hours of the game you merely are waiting for the next room to create and keeping the spies out of your base. You really have zero action with in this game. I must admit that is nice to see your evil empire grow and become more dangerous to the world but you really get no way of truely seeing your power. The "action" of the game is seen (or not seen) on a large world make that resembles a game of "Risk" You decide where you want your minions and soldiers to go, where they can steal money, gain power, or just hide out. You see no physical action on this screen which is very dissapointing and trust me you will be looking at this map for a good amount through out the game. The develops did make the game humorous and will remind you of the 007/ austin powers movies but that is mainly what keeps you playing. The new excisting intsrument or room is the only thing that will keep the player intact. It was a great idea but the huge amount of micro-management with very small payback hurt this title.
