I waited so very long for this game. I bought it right away. I've been playing it pretty much non stop since I got it.

I was delighted to see that some of the suggestions that we players made were taken seriously (ie including weather and a need for leadership).

As always the graphics are pretty and I wish I could have a larger version of the reef as a screensaver. Overall I am enjoying the game.

BUT...

I was VERY disappointed to see that nursing mothers still can't work and still get NO parenting experience for their efforts. I'm starting to think the design team are misogynsitic. Let's face it... who's the better parent? The male who makes dozens of babies and then has nothing to do with them or the female who has one and devotes years to its care? CHANGE IT for vv4!! I can guarantee that if this doesn't change for vv4 I won't be buying it. Yeah I am that ticked off by this. (and offended too)
