I heard......

Long loading times and glitchy achievements (also, you HAVE to be connected via wi-fi to be able to unlock ANY achievements)

this game is worth the money. albeit a bit very short and really nothing much to do in this sims than going to work and fishing. still fun for some reason, and easy completion.

Hmmmm. Maybe.

Never really a fan of The Sims, though I have been impressed by the WP7 games that I've played so far...
I hate those drunken Sushi's!

I'm still trying to hold out for the eventual Angry Birds DotW. As for this one, I'm a huge Sims fan but I absolutely hate any Sims titles that aren't on the PC.
I miss the good old days of WW2 Call of Duty

I have noticed in Canada that the prices are more aligned with the US prices. I'm seeing this as $4.99 as well.

And a quick look on my phone shows that all the previous games that were $3.49 previously are now showing as $2.99 now! Credit card is going to get a workout soon... too bad there are still games that are badly priced.
Big sama - I guess since our team didn't make I should play all the games I was saving.

Same in Aus.

$4 now = $3.50
$6.50 now = $5.50
$9.00 now = $7.50.

US people notice any price changes? If not, maybe they are trying to even up the prices with your tanking currency (just saying >_>). Was overpriced before anyway, a little more fair now at least.
iHeartSlampigs - Infernal on Revelations is already more of a challenge than both Resident Evil 5/6 combined...squared.

For that price, even if it's a bit short I wouldn't mind playing. Haven't gotten a chance to try the sims 3, so it could be a good start.
You seem a little furious...

So I am reading a lot of reviews that the save function doesn't work. Is anyone having an issue with this?
If you don't like what I have to say, you can fuck right off.
