                    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.
