You are the newest housewife on Wisteria Lane and control
everything - from your personality and appearance, to the
look of your new home, to whom you choose to befriend or backstab.
Interact with Susan, Bree, Lynette, Gabrielle and Edie while
you uncover juicy secrets, dirty laundry, and the most shocking
mystery of them all... your own...
Desperate
Housewives - The Game is a Sims style simulation
game based on the TV show. You start the game as the new housewife
on Wisteria Lane. And, as the new addition to the street,
you must uncover delicious scandals and reveal some shocking
secrets of your own.
This
doesn't have the world's quickest starts and to be honest
it's more than a little annoying as you have to sit through
some rather long introductions. Once into the game you soon
realise this is just a very watered down version of the Sims.
There
are numerous mini-games that you can try your hand out - like
competing against your neighbours to have the best garden
in the street, or how about trying to satisfy your husband
and son by cooking them the most delicious meal they've ever
eaten? And, should the mood take you, you can seduce and even
kill some of your neighbours (although obviously not characters
from the TV series). And, if you get bored of your street,
you can head off to the shopping mall (where your husband
and therapist work).
What
lets this game down is any real ability to alter your surroundings.
While you can upgrade your appliances you can't really do
much to your house, apart from change the colour of the walls
and floor coverings.
If
you like your Sims games and love Desperate Housewives,
then you'll be in hogs heaven with this release. However,
if you don't fall into this category then I'd strongly advise
that you steer clear of this one.
