It SWEPT into my life, and into my heart
The only negative I can think of about this game is that it will take up too much of your life. I missed the birth of my first daughter because I was playing this game. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so because I can always have more children. Or I could if my wife wasn't barren.
Don't hesitate to buy this game, You want to be in on this new franchise from the ground-floor. I just hope the sequels will let you port over your characters. I've just upgraded my Eco-dump to a 750kg weight limit. It'd be a shame if I had to leave that bad boy behind!
