Addicting like a good card game. Which means it won't stretch your mind, but you will have fun.

Gameplay - Repetitive and simplistic, so why am I still playing? I compare it to a good card game. Yes, it has different types of gameplay, but each of those elements still is repetitive and simplistic. The appeal is that it's just different enough each time to keep you interested, like with cards the results vary each time. Graphics - It looks great with all the details taken care of. It isn't going to set any new standards, but I actually like that. It runs nice and smooth even on my laptop. Sound - I appreciate the fact that they didn't do voice-overs because it would get annoying. A lot of scenes get replayed over and over so if you had voice over it would drive you crazy. Value - I'm still playing even after 30 hours. I don't stay interested in games for long, I played some of the greatest games for only a few hours. I can actually see myself playing for another few weeks. Basically, I'm saying that short attention span people will keep playing, but they probably haven't made it this far in the review :) My main thought on this game is that it's easy and somehow still fun.
