I am not one to bitch about art very often, but the races look like they were drawn by a sixth grader in art class. As it is, it would have to be a hell of a game to get me to play with those illustrations.

Geez, you guys here really do bitch about the art all the time. I'm calling TOS-attitude on you when you say things like "I don't know if I can even play a game that has such childish art." :P Come on...

Gotta love that elf, though ...

DoW targets a broader audience, so their art tends to be less intense. I personally prefer something more refined but my kids eat that kind of stuff up.

Sag.

I don't really have any problem with the art style. I wouldn't want it on my wall or anything but.... You guys are too picky.

It is not like I need sinsiter looking fantasy art -- the way it it it just looks very "cartoony". As far as the way games look, I enjoy DoW games -- I really think the TtR boards are nice and Pirate's Cove looks good too. Using Pirate's Cove as an example, it is a little bit cartoony but not so over the top.

Maybe it is a game geared for children, so it is meeting its target audience (kind of as Sag alluded to).

Could be, but I can't really imagine that with the amazons and their... well... you know, amazon-ness. :P

This game looks terrible - mainly those cheesy unoriginal captions.
Between this and the battlelore fiasco forgive me for being a little pessemistic over the games potential.

It's called SMALL WORLD. As in "It's a small world..."

The tagline is "It's a world of S-laughter, after all!"

Not on my game shelf, you don't!

Maybe I have had too much sugar but for some reason that line was fucking hillarious.
The totally should use that as a quote in the advertising.

"Don't bet on it!" goes with halflings ... how, exactly? This is the first of the captions (or headers, or whatever) that hasn't made a lot of sense to me.

I wonder if the halflings in this unknown game will have some form of gambling or press-your-luck mechanic? And, right after that, I wonder why I care. ;)

Eh, I'll admit it: I'm at least curious to see what's going on over there.

Maybe it's the king from El Granade.

I won't defend the captions, though, those are atrocious.
