It is a good strategy game - some timed elements - and that is part of the fun - not overwhelming - and what the heck! you get a second chance if you don't meet the time limit. buying clothes, houses , cars new jobs and don't forget to eat or you are penalized! Try it out for sure to see if it suits you warning it can be addictive - and the first time thru can be a bit of a drag - but you will be back for more. 5 Stars.
