I tried using that technique with the XDA 2, and it didn't work for me.

Whilst I agree with you Ian that criticising the game for the short comings of the device is perhaps a touch harsh, I think it would be the same with most PPC's and you have to develop your software for the platform it's running on. Steve, to his credit, has attempted to get around this with the tapping "Billy" with the stylus option, but I personally didn't think it was succesful. As you said to be able to use all the hardware buttons may well have done the trick, but that option isn't available hence the "con".
