    A cleverly designed tongue-in-cheek conversion of the show for the main-stream-friendly price tag of $19.99. [Holiday 2006, p.112]

    It is easy to jump into, has some interesting plot points that will draw fans of the show in, and has high production values in several key spots that ensures they won't be turned off, like by poor voice actors or graphics glitches.

    With heavy representation from four basic soap-opera food groups (murder, sex, jealousy, and amnesia), the game is a pleasant surprise for those of us who were expecting something more, well, Wisteria Lame.

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 »
