I wanted to edit my previous review but couldn't get it to work, so this is my updated review of the game. The tutorials are a real must. The information in them isn't inaccessible elsewhere, but they add a level of detail that makes everything a great deal clearer than would otherwise be the case. I really struggled to figure out what to do from just the manual's printed information, but somehow via the medium of the tute I figured it out and now I'm loving the game. The
