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.

Very fun and addictive, but be aware there are bugs

I got this game used for $5, so I feel I really got my money's worth. The game is extremely fun and addictive. I don't even watch the show, but now I want to.

The problem is I literally had to restart my computer every time I wanted to play, and often in the middle of playing it would start acting odd and occasionally just lock up. My computer exceeds ALL of the minimum requirements and I have a compatible video card (GeForce 7800 GTX), so that's not the problem. Just be aware this can be a buggy, unstable game and it may not make a difference how powerful your computer is. I have been able to play games that are much bigger resource hogs with everything turned up to the max but this one just didn't run well.

Does it work on Windows Vista?!!

As I said in the title, I LOVE this game. It was a great idea to get the right voices recorded in this title as I usually let it run just to listen to what they're saying even though I can read it myself. I couldn't drag myself away from this game - it was so much fun...and actually, I found myself so immersed that often I would consider the issues I was presented with, morally. I still remember the feelings of being suspicious of people or breaking into someone's home etc.

The only things I didn't quite like were that you couldn't always save when you wanted to. I had to press CTRL ALT DEL if I wanted to go to bed! instead of pressing the START button. It's seriously addictive and I played for about 2 and a half really really full days. I went to sleep at 1am and 2am.

There was one spot I got stuck and that was where I had to call someone on the phone. All I had to do was to drag the arrow next to the mobile phone I have. I even went on Google and looked for message postings about it and quite a few people had that problem as it wasn't obvious and we weren't informed - so they should fix that user experience issue up...but otherwise, Well done guys!!!!! :)

PS My character looked shocking in a skirt! Her legs are very beefy!! hahaha!!

It was a good game.

The game itself was a lot of fun to play. But once you beat the game, that's really it. So part of me feels like I spent money on something and now it's useless.

not the sims

This game very well may be tons of fun, but I wouldn't know. I couldn't get my computer to run it. Knowing that I was getting a new computer soon, I held on to the game thinking it would definately run on a brand new top of the line computer. Well guess what? I was wrong. This game is not compatible with most video cards out there. It's like playing video game roulette. It was very poorly planned and if a computer as nice as my new desktop can't run this game, there's something seriouslly wrong.

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.....

Finally - I can play it!!!!

Well I got this game for my birthday last year and like many people I couldn't play it on my pc or my son's brand new pc. I put it away and thought about it every now and then. I just got a new notebook pc for my birthday this year and decided I would give it a try. I had hopes but prepared myself for the likely chance that it wouldn't work. To my surpirse it worked great! And ran smoothly too. For those of you wondering I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 (pink) and got it for $880, but I added dvd burner and webcam so it was cheaper to begin with. Good luck!
