I bought five of these games and not one of the people I gave it to can run it. Now I am out the $100 and all customer service can say is take it back or wait for an unspecified update that may or may not be coming. Don't buy it.

Before buying this game go to the game website and verify it is the correct video card as only 10 video cards work!

Well my pc is about 1 1/2 years old and can play any game until this one! I have all the requirements even the upgraded video card. I was able to download, but then when I try to open the game it goes from a black screen and then back to my desktop. I checked the website for the game [...] and only about 10 video cards are listed that work many upgraded video cards don't even work and they have them listed there so just because you have the necessary requirements to play doesn't mean you are going to be able to. I'm out $20 hope no one else has to be!

Perfect for a Long Day

I loved this game! It was filled entertainment and value! My computer downloaded it in less then a half an hour and the game started up beautifuly especially after I was sick! The game became addicting and everyday I started playing with it it was so enjoying I HIGHLY recommend it!

Probably a fun game, but won't work on my brand new Sony Vaio laptop!

Two days ago I purchased a brand new Sony Vaio along with this game. It won't work. After trying to unsuccessfully locate a driver update on the Sony website, I visited the game website support only to find out that there is no driver update for my computer, nor is Intel making any plans to create one. My husband also got a brand new Sony Vaio laptop on the same day as me (only a different model) and it won't work on his. I also have an IBM 500X Thinkpad laptop (doesn't work) and a 2 year old eMachine desktop computer (doesn't work). I am so dissappointed with Buena Vista Games for creating a program that will not work on most computers.

This Game is Fantastic

I too spent all night trying to make this work. It did not simply because the video card was not compatible. Turns out, the card would not work even after updating it and reinstalling it. They say that Windows SP1 works with this game, I'm not sure and did not reformat my comp to go along with it. I returned the game and got a refund.

You poor suckers (I am a poor sucker too!)

Mom-
If you are like most of us and have an ordinary video card, it wont work! Tried installing it on 4 systems, all with standard up to date stuff and it didnt work. After 3 purchased videos cards I finally got it right! I had to download the list of video cards it would work with but then also figure out why type of video card my system took! Whew. After spending $50 for a video card to play a $10 game I was a bit frustrated but it all was worth it to see my daughter have fun playing the game (not!)

Daughter -
I think the game was GREAT!!! once you learn the whole point of the game its actually fun you get to design a husband,son, and even you! You mostly get to cook garden and meet your neighbors. The only bad thing about once you were playing was that you have so many goals and it takes a VERY long time to finish it but overall I gave it a 4 star.

You are not told that if you are missing just one thing on your computer that can't handle this game-guess what you can't play it without upgrading your computer-

this thing sucks!!

this game had loading issues and I was never able to play. There is something wrong with the game software, which was confirmed to me by several others who also bought this game. It was a complete waste of money and I could have just thrown it out the window!

Would be fun if I could ever play it...

I received this game as a Christmas gift and couldn't wait to play it. Unfortunately, neither my desktop nor my NEW laptop (less than 1 year old) met the requirements for this game. This is not my first bad experience with Buena Vista - buyer beware!
