The idea is so bizarre, that if the gameplay was better, it could've been the game of the year!
-
Unfortunately, everything I've heard says the game sucks and blows, and since there's no demo for me to check that for myself...
By the way, the dancing Stalin video was the best one.

We need a DDR game where you play as Stalin, Hitler, FDR, and Winston Churchill.

Something seems amiss here.

Not really--there's tons of pictures with those guys together.
I think I know what this is referring to without watching the trailer... and, well, it's hard to know how to feel.
-
ShadowBrian, I was referring the fact that FDR was handicapped.

Oh, yeah...

In video games, it's not gonna stop him from getting jiggy with it. He could probably dance in his wheelchair.

Thank you.

Image of the year? Assuming we even have awards next year.

RHYTHM IS A DANCER

I'm wary as to how well such a game would work out, seeing that Adolf would blow the competition away without contest. Rockin' the Third Reich from '36 to '45:

Of course, if Stalin were similarly imbued with the jiving skills of MC Hammer, he may stand a fighting chance:

I thought that was Pan's body for a second.
-
Since there's no demo and everything I've heard says it's not worth any amount of money, I've downloaded Stalin vs. Martians to see how bad it is for myself.
EDIT: Oh my god it's so bad. I'm glad I didn't buy it.
-
So is it an RTS or is it about dancing? I can't tell.
-
The game is indeed an RTS, and a godawful (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin_vs._Martians) one at that.

Really? Felt like turn-based strategy to me, as choppy as it was.
Here's some other (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/04/29/rps-vs-mezmer-stalin-vs-martians-impressions/) people (http://www.crispygamer.com/gamereviews/2009-05-04/stalin-vs-martians-pc.aspx) talking about how bad it is. I agree with a lot of what they say, but here are some highlights from when I tried the game if you don't want to read those excellent articles for some reason:
- As already mentioned, incredibly choppy. Part of this is my computer, but I've heard from other people with better computers about the same problems.
- Horrible stuff going on with the difficulty level. There are long-range units that can destroy tanks in one hit - on the first level.
- No creating more units, and no reinforcement system to deal with this like I've seen in some RTS games. From what I played, you start a level with some units, and that's what you've got. No revivification, either (as seen in some games with no unit creation or reinforcement system and even some with one or the other or both of those).
- Hard to tell what's going on. Regardless of the level of zoom, humans and the little Martian guys that look sort of like Pikmin are kind of hard to see. Also, there's no way to change the resolution.
- No multiplayer. This is almost certainly a good thing in this case, but developers should know by now that multiplayer is almost necessary for the genre (to the point where some games don't even ship with single-player components).
Godawful indeed.

Err, what I meant by RTS turn-based strategy. Oh yes. (https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fhuzzlesnap.freeforums.org%2Ffiles%2Fhuzzlesnap%2Fsmilies%2FMSN_Shifty_eyes_by_death_au.gif&hash=f7d7d11945ea84cab1bf3194bae0da47)
