The game is pretty good, I purchased it as a gift, be careful and be sure your computer has thhe appropriate video graphic card when purchasing, the person I purchased it for theirs did not.

Slow, but addictive.

This game does run pretty slow. It takes a few minutes for each scene to load. Sometimes the outdoor trees seem to appear inside my house. Fiddling with the settings fixes the tree problem during the current game, but once I restart it goes back to being a problem. Robbing your neighbor's houses can get you caught easily if your game starts to freeze up while your trying to make your escape. You DO get to seduce all the men on the block (including the female maid!) and no one finds out. The cooking, gardening, and poker mini-games are pretty fun. The storyline definitely keeps you interested. Overall, if you have a little patience while the game loads and lags, it's a pretty good game.

I was very happy to receive my order in a very timely manner but tried to install it in all 4 of our computers (2 desk top 2 lap top) and none of the computers are able to run the game. The newest of the laptops is only 1 year old and there is something lacking in all the computers to download the game into the computers.

This game is full of bugs, In order to play this game, I had to buy another video card. So this game got really expensive quick. I still haven't been able to get very far in the game because it freezes up. I wouldn't waste my money again for this game or anything like it til the bugs are gone.

I don't know what the problem is...

with all the other reviewers.. I bought this game at Target for $18, installed it on my HP laptop, the install process took about 30 minutes or so, but the game works just fine. It does have a very long load time between certain scenes, but its not "end of the world" long, I take the chance to get up and stretch my legs or get a drink or something. The graphics are very good, for a PC game, very minimal splitting or halting, I have had the game lock up on me ONCE, and I had to start over at a presaved point, luckly the game auto saves quit often and having the game freeze and having to restart, while frustrating and time consuming is not the end of the world, not much progress is ever lost. Almost all games will have some problems or glitches at some point no matter how well made or how souped up your system is.

This game is extremely graphic intense and does take up a lot of memory when its being played.. you will not be able to play it on an older computer. My laptop is only 5 months old. You just have to realize that no matter what the specs say, some games are just not playable on older computers.. the reverse is also true, some older games can not play on new PC's.. such as my all time favorite "Diablo" or "Diablo II" (yes even with the downloadable drivers,etc)

The game is fun,the story is fun. Its an enjyable game. I love playing the Texas hold um game with all the wifes!

I hope this review helps.

A must for any housewives fan

I got this game as a gift. The first disc didn't work but we exchanged it without any problem and the second game worked perfectly. I absolutely love playing it. The concept of creating your own storyline and living out episodes is so much fun. You can steal, seduce, shop, and hire a maid and gardener....it has provided hours of entertainment. It is worth muddling through the technical difficulties to get it installed. I would recommend it to everyone.

A lot of fun, very addicting

This game played fine on my HP Laptop. It has a flaw in it, that makes it error, so I had to play it from the disc the whole time. However, it isn't that much more work to do that, so it wasn't a big issue. Once I realized I had to play it from the disc, I had no more problems.
The game was fun. I really liked the mystery element. Gardening was pretty easy. The cooking was pretty easy until I got to the last level. The mystery was really fun. I was surprised when it ended. It was so addictive. I loved the game. I had no problems with characters freezing. Although sometimes it took a minute to catch up to me when I was in conversation with someone. The best part is I slept with Mike Delfino a few times ;).. How could I not?!?!

RIP OFF

This game is a total rip-off! Even though I have the correct specs on my computer and I even updated to get the video card, this game will not work on my computer. Buyer BEWARE. The company offers no help and technical support is useless. Do not waste one dime on this game or any Buena Vista games. They pushed this game for the holiday season without cleaning up all the bugs. Shame on them

I have enjoyed playing this game, but it is so full of bugs that it has been difficult to get as far in the game as I have. I am almost through with the game, but it keeps freezing up and crashing my computer. I give up!!! I really wouldn't waste my time on this game at all, unless you like mediocre graphics and wasting your time rebooting the game because it has frozen up or crashed your computer. Make sure you save your game frequently if you must play this game. They should have never released this game in this condition.

be careful

Don't buy this game until you check the requirements for the av driver. If you don't have it EXACTLY, it won't install!
