This game is totally cute. You can have affairs, gossip, garden, cook! It's just a good time. The only problem I had with the game was it was SLOW. It took FOREVER to load, and froze quite a bit. If you have time to wait, I recommend it. It's a good time.

Minimal Requirements a joke

I received this game as a gift for Christmas. Although my children run Sims on our computer, the graphics for this game will not run due to the video card not being of the correct specs. The game was on sale and now I see why! I will use the gift receipt and return it. It is really a shame that the game wasn't designed correctly. I find it hard to believe that a game like Sims which uses multiple graphics could run on our computer, but not this silly game. I give it one star simply due to the fact that you can't install it.

Got my money back!!!

I bought a new computer (with all the requirements even the upgraded video card), the desperate wives game for my daughter and my neice.However,I could not get the game to work after trying for hours. 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. My Christmas dinner was late, due to my determination to make this game run for my daughter. The next day, I returned the computer and did not give the game to my niece.

Before going out to purchase another computer for the purpose of one game, I came here instead and you all saved my precious time. Moreover, you saved my young niece the aggravation of getting a gift that would not work (her computer is approx. 5 years old).

I returned the opened and unopened games and received a full refund.

I really appreciate all of your reviews. I feel better knowing that it wasn't something that I was doing wrong.

Fun, but there are problems

I have to say that I enjoyed this game. HOWEVER, I agree with a lot of other reviewers. This game would not run on my computer, even though I had the mimimum requirements. Apparently, I had the wrong brand of video card, even though it was the same specs as what was listed on the box.

I was able to install it on my husband's computer and I had a lot of fun playing. However, once I got the final 'episode' the game crashed TWICE. It was pretty annoying having to redo a whole episode over. I did enjoy this game, but make sure you have exactly the right requirements before purchasing or the game won't install.

Love the duplicity

Great , but short lived game ....would love to have a sequel....I have played it 3 times with the different endings.....and have also ventured off in different areas during game play..ie... seducing as many as I could....the only problem I had was getting my PC to save the games....but I do have a newer PC ....I did find a website , that helped me and after that ....all was just history. Like I said earlier....there needs to be a Desperate Housewives 2.....

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.
