id have to rate this game as one of the worst games ive ever bought. i bought it today on the strength of reviews saying its great, but its boring as hell. seriously you spend the whole time performing fetch and carry tasks for a group of like 5 animals, in order to get some money to pay off your mortgage. seriously, what kind of waste of time is that? the whole point of the game is to get items to furnish your room, but that was like a subquest in pokemon, and one i coulnt be bothered with at that.

steer clear of this game, if stabbing yourself in the eye is not your idea of fun.

Seems more like a family game or something that you would play with your kids. Personally after reading the review I would not buy this game even if they gave it a 10. Now if I had young kids like ages 6 to 13 I might consider it and even play it with them but I don't so The Sims would be better value for my money.</font>

most of the reviews i read made it sound more like the jobs were quests, not just fetch and carry from one square to another.

seriously, i cant understand people who like this game. might as well have got the sims.

Dude that game is tight.. you just cant handle the power of it so thats why you dont like it.

Some people like different games ( I always say different people got different taste ). Next when reading reviews, read the reviews that gives it a low rating too. in that way you can know why some people don't like the game. thus giving you an option whether or not to buy the game.

this is just really true. i wish i'd done it like normal, but there are so many people who enjoy the game telling me its great, i just got it. lucky i could take it back really.

basically, if i wanted to build a house i would get sims 2. then i woulnt have to fetch and carry for every single task just to get things i may not even want for my house :-/
