I played it for a good week, and got tired of it. It was fun, just seemed to lack a goal. It seemed like the only goal in this simulation of life was to have a kick-ass crib, and it just seemed lame to do all this stuff to get a better job, so you could get more stuff, blah, blah. The game just lacks direction...

You don't even get to do fun stuff on the job, such as blowing up labs or shooting at car thieves.

Lame game.

yeah once you tried every combo and killed off the characters every way there was little more to do. As in real life working to bring home more money to buy more stuff is no fun. Anyway I had the timing down pat and getting promotions was cake. So there really was little else to do.

I didn't even get that far. Once I found out I can't even walk around in town I lost most interest.

Sims are boring. It has no goal, like Conquest, and lacks important things people can do, even though at first this seems interesting. For me it's just the way it was with Caesar3 - for the first day or two seemed to be good, but after that just getting bored.
