Something more like Populous the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW35sV5OSgU

It's a "God game". Basically you're the god and those people are your followers or minions ;-P

You can manipulate the environment to help your people or destroy an opposing tribe (At least that was what happened in Populous)
So for example build a lava flow into an other tribes village or create a volcano in the middle of it.

Looks amazing. It's funny how people don't know what Populous is. They probably think Peter Molynuex's first game was Fable. I didn't even realize this was a console game. Pretty wild quality for an XBLA game.
