awesomest game ever

Strengths: absolutely everything

Weakness: if this game is wrong i don't wanna be right

i love this game.When i seen it on a commercial i wasn't really interested in it but my 8 year old cousin Catrena has it. she let me have my own slot and i couldn't believe how fun it it was kinda seems like such a little kid game but I'm 13 and i really really really want it for Christmas. If you've never played it before, you should cause it's awesome.

I need help! And fast!! I'm getting really frustrated and kinda sad because whenever I start talking to a guy, and want to be his boyfriend, I just get to the stars right away, and I don't even get the hearts first. But when my sister plays, she gets hearts with this guy right after the smiley faces. ANYONE , PLEASE HELP!

Dream Life

Strengths: I think this gmae has many strengths. It's fun, easy to learn, and has good graphics...plus, it's appropriate for kids!

Weakness: I don't think it has any

I really enjoyed this game. it was easy to leaen, and fun to play...it still is! about the 90-day limit. 90 days takesa long time to do...and when your finished with one person...you just make another!! I LOVE doing creative things...and creating a perosn...designing their room, signing them up for sports...and creating their wardrobe is a great way to have fun! money is easy to make...escpecially when you sign up for a job, and do your chores. you can get trophies from practicing sports...and if you get good grades...your parents in the game will let you buy cool stuff. you have to budget your time wisely...in order to get what you want. you can make friends...and creat your best frined. it's a great game to play!

Dream Life

I bought this for my 11 yr. old daughter and she loves it. So does her 8 yr. old sister. I can't get them off it! Well worth the $30.

You can play again on a new game slot. This is how you do it:
turn off the game, then click start, and make a new character and everything.
Then, it will tell you to pick a game to overwrite.
Hope I helped ;]

I have daughters, ages 8 and 14. They saw this toy on tv and both told me they saw a cool toy they would like for x-mas. i have been checking it out and bought it at Wal Mart for @ 28.00. i then saw it for a few more dollars at Fleet Farm. I bought it for my 8- year old . They dont get a lot at x-mas. It looks like fun.

This game is pretty fun until it ended. Actually, it sucked okay? You only have ninety days to play the game. How stupid is that! The Sims is better than this piece of junk! In the Sims, you have an unlimited time. Anyone on my side?

Reply by member: Kiki1041
Nov 25, 2005

Me again. I have played this for one day and it's fun but the stupid part is trying to do everything in 90 days. Hasbro should have took inspiration from the Sims, even if it takes them 100 years. Please post a reply of what I think.

Kiki, Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm looking at buying this for my 9 yr old daughter for Christmas and I don't understand what you mean. I have & love the Sims so I'm familiar with that. Could you please explain more of what Dream Life is like and the 90 day time limit? Thanks.

I am looking at this for my 11 yr old daughter for x-mas. I am curious what you mean about the 90 day limit also!

Reply by member: sportarobyn
Nov 28, 2005

With most "life simulation" games (usually dating simulations), you have a set number of virtual days to accomplish your goals. I have never played this game, but I'm guessing that you get a certain amount of "energy points" each day to use on activities (going to school etc), and when you run out the day ends. After 90 days, the game ends.

Hope this helps,

I understand that after 90 days its over. but my question is, Can you not start at the beginning again? make a new person and start a new life?

Reply by member: sportarobyn
Nov 28, 2005

I assume that it's not a one-off game; you can start over with a new file. What Kiki was saying, was that it's extremely difficult to accomplish your set goals in 90 days of virtual playtime. Like Kiki said, I believe that "life simulations" are better left without a deadline: have an infinite playlength for your virtual counterpart.

i posted a reply before but dont know if it went thru. i am asking if any one knows if this game will allow to separate vertual lives to be put in the system so two sisters can share the game with out fighting over things or would i have to buy two separate games.

My daughter wanted this for her 13th birthday, I was little reluctent to buy it since the box said 8 years and up, but she insisted. She completed the game within a day but continues to replay it. She enjoys it but recommends it to the 8 to 11 year old range. My 8 year old SON has been caught playing it on more than one occasion but would never admit to playing such a girly game. I bought our Dream Life at Walmart for $28. It's great gift for the younger age range.

PChicken from PA You can only save 2 files. So yes you would only need one system for two kids but if a third child wanted to play they would have to save onto one of the two files. There is only one controller so only one child can play at a time and then save their file.

I bought the Dream Life system for my 11 yr. old daughter and she really likes it until the picture on the TV screen went out and all we can do is hear the sound. Has this happened to anyone yet? If so, any solutions??

Our game also went black. We changed the batteries in both the station and the remote and it came back

Reply by member: Leo73
Jan 2, 2006

Oh well, we have already returned ours. We put fresh batteries in the remote and the station on Christmas day so I didn't even think that the batteries would be dead already. We purchased our from Target. We were going to just exchange it for another one but they were all out of stock. So, we will search somewhere else or buy it on line. Thanks for responding! Happy New Year.

The Dumb Blonde Dream Life

Strengths: None

Weakness: Almost everything

I'm 11 and only had the game for a day, but it is the stupidest! I'm blonde and nothing like the kind of girl the game pictures you to be (Do you like glitter make-up?-Quote from the game.) You can sign up for sports but can't see yourself play them. You can do chores and get $20 (no typo, that's twenty dollars) for WATERING A PLANT! ONE! The only part of the game with several different things to do is the MALL! THE MALL! Oh, and there's also the hair salon... (sarcasam) WARNING: Do not buy this game unless you love clothes and are a shopoholic!

Stupid!

Strengths: NONE!

Weakness: 90 days to play ONLY!

This game is pretty fun, yet stupid. They should fire the person that made the game last only 90 days. They should have at least some inspiration from EA. This game sucks. If one thing sucks, all the others suck!

What do you mean it only last for 90 days?? My 12 year old daughter wants this for Christmas.

Reply by member: luckypoof
Nov 6, 2006

no no no no OK she is just mad because they give you 90 days for each time . when you make your first person you have 90 days for that personwhen you are done they give you awards for the overall game. then you can make another person and you have 90 days so on

Thank you so much for posting the comment you just did Luckypoof! I was considering buying this game and was horrified to find out it only lasts 90, even though that is a pretty long time, it wasn't worth me buying it for $30. The only downside to this game as far as i can see, w/o having the game is that my 8,12 and 13 yr old daughters want this, now granted this game is fun but i let my daughters shop and go to school (DUH!) why would it been any more fun in this game?? I guess it is like a video game!! Anyways thanks for the comments! Keep um coming :)

WASTE OF MONEY!!!

Strengths: NONE.

Weakness: Where do I start?

I got this for Christmas last year. Graphics are horrible. Can't watch yourself do sports. It repeats and is boring. Only good for the first day. Your wardrobe is limited.

This game is the worst

Strengths: None

Weakness: Expensive,boring,not enough graphics

There is nothing to do in the game it i very boring. I played with it for a half hour and was bored with it right away. I bought it at target for 35 dollars. For what the game was I would not have paid 10 dollars. Do not waste your time and money on this game.

Fun, yet repititious

Strengths: Easy to play, you don't need an expensive game console, pretty fun.

Weakness: Repititious, limited involvement' expensive [as I've heard]

My cousin got the game for Xmas, and I played it because everything else around the house was being used. In complete honesty, that's all it's really good for. Not that I hate it, but after a while, you're doing basically the same thing each day. You get more money doing a chore than having a job. (Other than a tutoring for $55, the highest I think I've seen was babysitting for $25, while you get $40 for sweeping the floor) which is unrealistic. Dances and parties aren't very special, and the mall is pretty much a worthless way to spend money. While it's fun dressing up your girl, it's completely personal, and has no effect on gameplay. There are many places that the creators could've added at least a mini-game for you to actually EARN your money, or how well you are at an activity. It kind of seems like I'm bashing the game, but while it's a fun game, depending on your age, it'll probably be one of those games that you'll WANT to play for a day or two, then you'll only play if your only options are to play Dream Life or take a boredom nap.

This game stinks!

Strengths: None

Weakness: More than I can name.

This game stinks! It freezes up constantly, it doesn't have enough battery life (give it a fresh battery and play it for an hour and the batteries will die!) I got this for my birthday, I enjoyed it at first but then it started messing up. (see what I've mentioned.) I wouldn't recommend this product. Stick with a gameboy. You won't have to spend a fortune on batteries!!!!!

Amazing

Strengths: The whole game! Except listed below

Weakness: Can't visually see yourself doing chores, going to school, ec. And sometimes, if you ask "Are you Taylor's cousin" to like, 4 people, they'll all say yes, but thats a very minor problem.

This is a very good game! I enjoy playing it! It will get addicting! After you are done with your dream life, you can make a whole other person. Me, I wait a few days or a week to start another life, its more funner that way.
