This game has lost the serendipity of the board game ("Write a bestselling book! Earn $500,000" or "A tornado destroys your house! Pay $I50,000 for repairs") and added a heavy dose of drugery. I made it through 23% of this game hoping that it would get better. The first few minutes are cute, but the rest is just repetitive and tedious. Worse, the game seems to perceive life as an endless round of pleasing everyone else in your world, but never caring for yourself... which is not a message I would consider appropriate for anyone, much less impressionable children.
