    I played this game for two hours until I realized that, with the exception of the thoroughly average mini-game, I still hadn't done anything that required an ounce of thought or skill. A beautiful, well-designed game that's completely hollow inside, fit only for professional game reviewers and/or OCD sufferers.

    I actually like this game more then the bustin out on console systems. Its great simply because you have so much freedom to do what you want. Characters are funny, sayings are funny. Graphics are superb. One complaint is the lack to build houses, but it dosent really matter because they give you some great places to live. I would also like the ability to control your roomate.

    Oh my goodness! One of the best games I have EVER played! But, I bought the "double Bed" And my sim DID NOT have kids. So whoever says you can, you are SERIOUSLY WRONG.

    This is a really nice game! It teaches you to be patient, and observent. It is entierly easy in the beggining but increases in difficulty! For the guitar, go to the right of the mansion, continue on untill you can't go to the right anyfarther! Then back track away untill you see a truck/van. Geusuppi is near it. Talk to him, then go to the rear of the van and select the guitar. For This is a really nice game! It teaches you to be patient, and observent.

For the cliffs, pester Misty Waters untill her relatinship is -50, then go up to the western resturaunt place. Go to the immediete right and hen you see a path going upwards, take it and the road blocks should be gone. Then go talk to Misty again.*(())* Expand

    So, with my "Game Renaissance" (so to speak), I've made it a point to replay games that I played as a kid and many of the ones I added to my Backlog were games I'd never beaten. I think this is one of those games and to be honest, it was more difficult than I expected. Still, if the average playthrough length is 7.5 hours (on HLTB) and I finished it in 2.5, maybe it wasn't quite difficultSo, with my "Game Renaissance" (so to speak), I've made it a point to replay games that I played as a kid and many of the ones I added to my Backlog were games I'd never beaten. I think this is one of those games and to be honest, it was more difficult than I expected. Still, if the average playthrough length is 7.5 hours (on HLTB) and I finished it in 2.5, maybe it wasn't quite difficult enough? I know it's for kids and I played it on the Gameboy Advance so I might not be the target audience; I still had a good time! It was entertaining, funny, slightly challenging, and it felt fresh. As a side-scrolling platformer, it excels in simply entertainment value but it doesn't offer anything you haven't seen before (even if it is 15 years old). Expand

    7 / 6 / 7 / 7 - 27 [Vol 788; 23 Jan 2004]
  2. There are more than 20 different locations in the game to unlock and visit.
  3. It's a fun game, especially for younger players, but it feels slightly more hokey than Hollywood. [Mar 2004, p.93]
