people have said, the graphics are awesome and the amount variety
throughout the game, be it maps, characters, whatever - is mindblowing. However,
you can't help but feel they went way overboard on the monotonous side
of it. I'm sure they wanted to appeal to an older audience by doing
this, so the game wasn't just made up entirely of mini-games, but
actually had some challenges. There needs to be a happy medium,
however, and the developers failed to find it. They seem to have almost
entirely separated the fun parts of the game from the challenging
parts, giving little motivation for the player to attempt to unlock new
items and earn new skills. Not that the "fun" parts of the game are
without good ideas. The Drug items, for example, are a great idea and
have been implemented into the game to great effect. The Sex challenges
throughout the game are also well done, but again, tend to be take so
much effort to complete that it hardly seems worth it. All in all, a
potentially great game that is severely flawed. However, with talk of a
Real Life 2 next winter, one would hope the developers will learn from
their mistakes and take the time to add in much needed bonuses, such as
abilities to fly, and a Save/Load option, and focus less on the "Work"
side.
