    This game has got it all: a contrived plot, bad voice acting, terrible dialogue, and loads of technical bugs. And let's not forget about the slew of obvious advertisements, which gives the impression that this should have been a "free-to-play" sponsored game, especially since it downloads real product coupons to your computer as you play.

Advertisements, silly system requirements, and a wannabe Sim feel to it. And really, I installed The Sims 2 in my computer- very high-end graphics, and it was slow and very stuttery, when I have an HP pavilion that isn't even 3 years old. This game was not worth my money.… Full Review »
