Ballistics Report

Pros

Addiction
Good God, if this game doesn’t immediately suck you in and render you worthless for hours on end, then I don’t know what’s wrong. I’ve, on occasion, sat down to play for a few minutes and then noticed that it’s been five hours.

Entertainment
It’s definitely something to do, and there are much worse things to waste time with. Like crack, Everquest or Myst.

Will Wright
Will needs a new award, so go buy his game. On a more serious note, Will Wright is a great designer and other than one or two duds, you can bank on his games being pretty good.

Almost, but not for everyone
Though the game has broad appeal to many different audiences, it’s not for everyone. The more action oriented gamer need not apply, because there isn’t much killing to be found here. Well, killing without a blow to your conscience at least.

Aging
A quick recap: your sims age but others don’t and you can keep sims alive longer with an elixir but it’s a real pain.
