Hi,
Yes you could do it...You would have to be a good artist to make your assets, but then that's another story...
As far as I'm concern Playmake help me building complete game with no pain...I just find myself sometimes thinking that for that particular set of actions, it would perheaps be easier to code, but since I've chosen not to learn C# (I know that it will upset some...), theses little moments of "code regrets" are quickly forgotten.
Hope it will help you to test it and testing it is adopting it...Trust me you won't regret it...
Have a nice day
