Big part of my childhood and I recently played it again. As a kid I never made it through the whole game, I just socialized with everyone, listened to the music at the club, kept my needs up, and played a bunch of mini games. I was very content playing it as a kid even though I didn't really do much. I'm 19 now and I'm playing it properly. I'm about 3/4ths done with the game and I really like it. My favorite part is the aesthetic and music. It has a certain charm to it/ Instead of the protagonist being silent and agreeable, they're snarky and sarcastic. I always enjoyed the simple dialogue mechanic. I love the rep groups too. The characters are a great balance between mature and clean. They're not sugar coated or dumbed down but they don't mention anything that would be inappropriate to kids. I do have a couple complaints. I don't know how the story is for the other versions, but in the GBA version, there doesn't seem to be a strong driving force for the story. I feel like Daddy Bigbucks could have been portrayed as more menacing instead of just a guy with a lot of money. The pets are very glitchy. The cat I bought was brown, but it showed up orange when I placed her in the world. My cat has ONE sound effect that plays loudly every second. Sometimes the meows play over each other. I would just leave her at home, but as soon as I tell her to stay she begs to go on a walk, and the blinking need bubble doesn't go away. Doesn't matter how much I pet her or walk her, her social need never goes up. There's one mission where you have to write a letter to get running to be legal again and until then you have to walk (very slow) until it's legal again, less you go to jail. I feel like this could have been done differently in a less obnoxious way. Despite all my complaints, it's a very good game and highly entertaining. The music is very nice and I can't get enough of it. So much nostalgia.
