Time for more screens now, as we present the latest shots from the curious Odama.

Mixing military strategy with pinball, and a couple of other genres thrown in for good measure, this is Odama, a unique game that first saw light at E3 almost two years ago. Now it's finally coming out in Europe, so we thought we'd share with you some screenage.

The young general Yamanouchi Kagetora, intent on avenging his father's death, has revived the most ingenious weapon ever to hit the medieval battlefield: the Odama, a gigantic ball powerful enough to destroy whatever it strikes, friend or foe. Players use the Nintendo GameCube Mic to direct their soldiers out of the Odama's way and into the fray, and prove that they have the skill to back up the power of the Odama.

The Nintendo GameCube Mic is the most important addition to this title. By holding down the X button on the controller, players activate the microphone. There is a vast array of commands that Odama can understand, allowing players to order their soldiers to charge through the enemy ranks, retreat, line up in formation or carry items, just to name a few.
