    Yeah I certainly hope the $680 I sunk into a 5970 allows me to see that praying mantis in all its glory!

    I was very disappointed in the game play shown. Needs more praying mantis.

    Ya seriously. I mean we all know what would really happen. If one praying mantis couldn't get the job done 100 would show up in no time.

    Looks to be the best game ever! totally worth buying, if only for the praying mantis. The added advantage of it being violent in the case of images on the screen just adds to the attraction!
