What Others Say
Good
I am a major Sims fan and a Desperate Housewives fan, so when I saw this game, I wanted it badly! I got it as a gift and was so excited to finally play it. Overall, the game was pretty fun. In some aspects, I found it to be more fun than The Sims; in others, I did not. The minigames keep you entertained for a little bit, but the thing I found most entertaining was the fact that you can go in and steal items from your neighbors while they are asleep/at work. This game could have been better, but it was worth it. It kept me entertained for a while, and it gave me some good laughs. Overall, I liked it.
Cool Game............
Loved the game but found out when I went to install it on my computer that the manufacturer had some issues with the game working and had to have a computer tech install a patch for it otherwise it is an awesome game!!!!!!!!!!!!
halirious entertainment
The desperate house wife game was bought for a friend who enjoys it so much that she plays it every afternoon she is addicted its funny and has a lot of mini skits and games its definetly a enjoyable game.
Unbelievably boring!!
Didn't have any problems with freezing or anything, as mentioned by a previous reviewer. However, this game is not in any way entertaining. I love the show and couldn't wait to play the game, but it was a big let down. I played this game for about 2 hours and got completely bored with it. There isn't any real challenge to this game. You follow their goals and cannot proceed until you do what they want. Completely disappointed.
Don't buy this game....
I purchased this game yesterday. I enjoy watching Desperate Housewives and like playing video/pc games. It was on clearance at BJ's for $4.10, so I figured, why not? I tried to run the game unsuccessfully MANY times on my PC. I used all of the techniques to trouble shoot the problem, but nothing worked. It is having trouble with the DirectX. I checked the version and it should work with the game, but does not. It was only $4.10 wasted, but a disappointment. In case anyone else has the same PC, it is a Dell Dimension 3000.
