"Funny!"

Introduction
At first sight you could think this was a poor game which nobody plays, but after trying it for some time you will notice that it can be rather enjoyable and funny.

Gameplay
Ever played Sim City? If so, this game is somehow like it, since you start by playing with only a certain amount of money and á couple workers and you (mainly) will have to build a giant empire of house renting and selling. Of course this has already been seen in many games, but this game has some really cute things that will surely make you laugh for some time. As you advance in the game you will be able to build some interesting stuff, like an italian food restaurant which grants you the opportunity to use gangsters (who can be used to destroy opponent buildings or easily kill units from your opponents), a strange house where the hippies live, an hospital, a police office or even... a gadget factory! Apart from this you will also need to rent the houses you build to people, so that they give birth to other people which can become your units (like workers, some surprises or even... other people to rent houses to!) or grant you special stuff which you will discover how to use easily. Yeah, because it is really easy to understand how this game is played! Hum, I was almost forgetting something, and in the cd of this game there are files for many languages, so if you are not english you will be able to play it in your own language!

Story
There isn't much of a story in here... Thinking of it, I believe that you have to create your own empire and become a really rich man!

Graphics/Sound
Even today I must say that the graphics in this game are really fine, they have no problems and you even have the chance of seeing the faces of your units moving in a far better way than the one which occured in famous games like Starcraft. As for the sound, it is GOOD and funny sometimes, when you listen to the voices of your clumsy workers or the tough, cool gangster... and there are clowns, too!

Play Time/Replayability
This game, like most of the ones in this type don't have a real target to achieve, so even if you defeat your opponent once you will still plauy this game much more time, so that you can use all the secret things and achieve as many targets as you like. This means this game doesn't really have a finish, you can play it for more than a couple months.

Final Recomendation
This game is REALLY funny and pretty good, you should play it not only for having an enjoyable time but also for laughing a lot, since it has cool scenes and funny characters to play with. A must, although it may be somehow difficult to get these days...
