This game was played by me on the day of release. I've played this for exactly one week, before throwing away the disk into my trashcan.
Pros: You like The Sims genre? Good! You have it right here, looking identical to what you are used to.
Cons: People are actually forced to interact, which leads to the obvious - there are those you have pleasure talking to, while there are those who ruin the game for everyone else. Because of lack of the regular paycheck, many folks desperately run around trying to make a buck any way the game allows them to, to the extent of repeating the same task over and over again (like making phone calls telemarketing). There are also tasks involving team work, and when one of the members of a "pizza-making-team" either lacks the experience, or simply does not care how to do his/her part, serious arguments break out. Such as "I'm not wasting my time for nottin', you moron..." etc.
Bottom line here is - the bigger your place, and the more "stuff" you have, the more enjoyable your gaming experience is supposed to be. Sort of like, the popularity factor in high school. Or dictatorship... you get the point. Big waste of money, as far as I'm concerned!
