I've tended to shy away from mandatory sidekick games. If you can't direct  
them they're dumb as a post, and if you can direct them they're still as  
dumb as a post; and trying to micromanage them as well as play the game  
just got to be frustrating. Sounds like they've got it right on this  
though... hmm think I have a PS3 demo somewhere might give it a go.
