    it is a good game i mean it is way better on the nintendo DS beacause you could play on it where when ever you want ! There should be more games that are only for game cube, xbox, ps2..... that should have the same game on the nintendo DS!

    Well, this game is quite fun, actually, i think its quite amuzing. but, however, there are some things, that dissapoint me. The fact that it is too short, in 4 weeks im on the very last level. there is nothing to do in some places, they should make it more interesting. and the fact that when you talk to somebody you do what THEY want you to do. after you have bought all the places, whats Well, this game is quite fun, actually, i think its quite amuzing. but, however, there are some things, that dissapoint me.

    Maybe it's the nostalgia, but this is genuinely one of my favorite games that I've ever played. I spent so much time playing this game as a kid, and I loved every minute of it. Even after finishing the main storyline, I found the hotel maintenance and minigames so fun that I have never been bored playing this game.

    I love the strange setting of this game in every aspect and I think it deserves more.

    It's a little clumsy in control in some places (the Alien Invasion and Ratticator missions are particularly cumbersome), but the interface works well in others, and even with the departure from some more traditional Sims elements, the game still feels a part of the same world.

    A pretty compelling game on the Nintendo DS. It is structured enough to give you some purpose in what you’re doing but contains enough of the more open-endedness of the other modes to keep things interesting.

    There are still the variables in the game, like how you choose to interact with other people, but the game is fairly limited.
