Other Than Play Issues...
 
Review Date: February 26, 2010
Reviewer: Bellasnow, Florida, USA
I have encountered play issues with this game, that even after downloading the fix, it still does not work properly. The most unfortunate play issue is the inability to save progress. So I have paused, and minimized it to try and get through the game. I have Windows 7, and there still seems to be issues with the game.
I love the show, but the game is a different story. The mini games are a bit fun, and I do enjoy the interactions with the characters, because it is like real conversations.
The problem I have with the game, is that it feels too oriented to different demographic than I am in. Most of the story that I have managed to encounter, deals with a teenage son, who seems to be most of your game goals. I know you can do other things, but I feel like the game is goal oriented, in order to lead you through it. It also feels like the game is not meant for a normal gamer & there is a bunch of advertising in it, which makes the game feel less like a game and more like a billboard.
Unfortunately, due to the game issues I have not been able to play through the entire game. From other reviews I have read it plays perfectly fine, but on my system which is well equipped for gaming & has Windows 7, it does not play the way it should.

Reviewer: S. Young,
Installation was not a problem, but trying to play it is another issue. I try to run the program and a box pops up saying the disc is not an original. I don't know if this happens to other people, but it is ticking me off.
Desparate for this PC Game!!!

This is one super fun game! I can't get enough. So many laughs too! If you have always desired to live on Wisteria Lane now is your chance! You can play the nice neighbor or a trouble maker. I am now not only addicted to the show but this game. It is well worth the money for hours of entertainment.
Good game but flawed for VISTA users

Reviewer: derek von Ameln,
This could have been a fun game from start to finish, but as far as I know... anyone using W. Vista cannot save their progress. So I never got very far and that was frustrating.
Don't know yet. :(

Reviewer: muggle,
I love the show and love video games so I have been waiting for years to play this game but didn't have a PC.

I bought it when I got a notebook computer but am massively disappointed that it won't play on my computer. It meets all the qualifications except the video card. This game needs a NIVIDA video card and won't even install without one. Amazon really should include all the minimums your computer needs to have to actually play the game.

My daughter urged me to return it but I'm hanging on to it in hopes of getting a better computer or, if possible (I'm no computer geek so I don't even know if it is), update or install the video card.

I am bummed out!!! The game looks fun as hell from reading the book. I wish there was a PS2 version.

A detailed, walk-through version of the popular television version of . Lots of different scenerios available. The images are similar to "sims" figures, only pretty good visuals of Bree, Susan, Gabrielle, Linette and Edie.
Good

Reviewer: B. Johnson, Las Vegas, NV USA
I am a major Sims fan and a fan, so when I saw this game, I wanted it badly! I got it as a gift and was so excited to finally play it. Overall, the game was pretty fun. In some aspects, I found it to be more fun than The Sims; in others, I did not. The minigames keep you entertained for a little bit, but the thing I found most entertaining was the fact that you can go in and steal items from your neighbors while they are asleep/at work. This game could have been better, but it was worth it. It kept me entertained for a while, and it gave me some good laughs. Overall, I liked it.
Cool Game............

Reviewer: Southern Chic, Pineville, Louisiana
Didn't have any problems with freezing or anything, as mentioned by a previous reviewer. However, this game is not in any way entertaining. I love the show and couldn't wait to play the game, but it was a big let down. I played this game for about 2 hours and got completely bored with it. There isn't any real challenge to this game. You follow their goals and cannot proceed until you do what they want. Completely disappointed.
