I'd just like to say despite feeling a bit skeptical of the game from these impressions, I went ahead and bought it anyway. I've been having a blast so far, and have experienced little to none of the problems that were addressed. Hell, I'm up to Stage 5, and I haven't failed a level once, or lost any of my Scrogs. Doing things quickly is a must for this game. I'm at the point where I can take down a group of Grocks in probably less than 30 seconds, and stringing together combos with my different moves feels pretty satisfying. I do have to admit, money is pretty tight, but it hasn't been a major problem so far. I place guns where I need them the most, and cover the openings on my own.
I think where the hate can really come from is the fact that there's hardly any in-game explanations for anything, so you have to figure everything out yourself. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since I kind of felt a sense of accomplishment from figuring everything out on my own, but when you have to quickly speed around a large map, while juggling the management of your towers and the protection of the town from Grocks coming in all directions, things can get pretty hectic.
Also, I'm not even a fan of tower defense in the first place, yet I love this game, so Nintendo must have done something right!
