There are certain types of games that strut with a swagger, backing every step up with substance, variety and finesse. Then there are those 'other' games that march, chins held up high, but lack the confidence to back up their gaudy walk. They're called one-trick, all hype, no show ponies.
Mushroom Wars, a cartoony real-time strategy (RTS) title released on the PlayStation Network (PSN), walks a flashy line. While it ostensibly is a game based on strategy, there's something about Mushroom Wars that makes it more brawn than brains. It's not spectacular, but that's not the question. The question is that for the $9.99 price it's pitching, does it offer enough of a stride?
