I don't think I've ever written a whole post about a game before, but it has to be done.

It was my first tablet (Wacom CTE-440) so I had high expectations on it, and it worked fine... kind of because it didn't take more then about 2 minutes of usage before my hand would cramp up in pain, probably because of the tiny working area of the tablet.
