This game is amazing. First off, THE MUSIC IS F$%KIN' AMAZING. I would so get the OST.
Second off, the mechanics are really clever. Bricks are a great example of this. Everytime you have the crowd throw a brick, some members that are close enough throws one while it only depletes one. If you get a large crowd and have a lot of bricks, the group works as one large machine gun.
Last of all, the theming and general feel is AMAZING. It is terrifying that this could actually happen, yes, but it feels like you are leading a revolution. Plus, while the headlines sound like stuff that sort of newspaper would say, it also tells you new mechanics for the level, area, or rest of the game.
This shit's amazing, yo.
