Rating: - Very basic and full of bugs.
I wasn't really expecting much from this game, but unfortunately it doesn't meet even the most basic elements for fun. Well, maybe if you are under 12 and want to be an interior designer someday it might be interesting enough. The game play is very easy with basic graphics that look like something from 10 years ago. Three cartoonish characters help you "build" your design. All you have to do is choose pre-existing furnishings within a budget according to your clients desires. That isn't too difficult when there are only three style choices to begin with: Asian, Country and Retro. Once you have added a few items to the room, which is just two walls, by the way, you then "build" the design. Three workers do it all for you. You just click each one then have them build a lamp or whatever. They get tired and you give them coffee, then need a tool, you get it, etc. Not exactly rocket science. And, who needs a level to build a lamp? As I said, it is probably good enough for preteens, but even they will quickly tire of the uninspired graphics. Aside from the game play aspect, I had constant problems with the game crashing and/or freezing every time it goes back to the neighborhood screen. The game isn't listed yet on the eGames site, so there's no tech support either. Not that I really care since I was bored with it by the second crash anyway. My advice, save your money.
