Ender's Game Game

Joystiq report that Chair Entertainment, the team behind XBLA semi-freebie Undertow, are to produce a game based on Orson Scott Card's novel Ender's Game.

It's said to revolve around Ender's experiences in the Battle Room and run on the Unreal Engine.

I can't see it working however. This section of the story is all about engineering clever wins against stacked odds. I can't see it being any more organised than a Halo 3 team match, even given how organised some of those teams are the general experience is going to lose so much of the point of these matches that it might as well have nothing to do with the book.

I'm not saying it will be a bad game per-se, just that the tie-in with the OSC books isn't going to work.
