In a time when I don't seem to finish games, I did finish this game. I wasted some time doing useless missions, kicking chickens, and wooing men and women. All in all, I spent about 12 hours at this game. I was disapointed that it was so short, but I had read the reviews and was prepared for that. I wasn't prepared for the completely abrupt end though, I thought the game would go on and let me play even though the story was complete. Oh well, maybe next time.
As far as games go, I'd have to say this was my second-favorite game of the year. The graphics nice and the controls were simple. I had picked up the strat guide for it when i got the game (because it came with a poster), but actually craced it open only once - to figure out how to woo the wife. The game was very easy and there really wasn't a lot of puzzle solving involved.
For entertainment value, this is a very fun game. I hope they come out with a real sequel to it some day. I recommend picking it up to anyone really, you can find it used for $10-$15 these days.
