I love this game. I don't know how many times I've played it, but if I can't decide what I want to do I often start up this game - and I'm instantly hooked. And I really, really, REALLY hope there's going to be a Life Quest 2 ... hint, hint! Yes, once you've played it the storyline will be predictable, but I now play against myself, seeing if I can improve my time, how much money I end up with, how many of my competitors I can leap-frog over (completing their contest before I actually have to compete against them) ... One of the reasons I love playing this game is simply because I can create my character from the skin up. It gives you a real sense of ownership when the character you're playing has been designed by you. And what I think is fantastically clever is that the older sister character that pops up for the tutorial is designed to match your character! This is a must-have game for strategy and time-management fans.
