I must say I'm kind of upset with Virtual Villagers. I spent $20 on a game that took me less than a week to complete, and there isn't really much of a replay value of this game either. The game was nice and fun, but definatly not worth $20. Sorry guys!!



I do not know how you can say that about this game. One of the great parts about it is waiting for the events to happen, not just the puzzles, but the random events. Some other posters have talked about a beached whale, monkeys messing around, an outsider who comes in and takes some plants. These are all events that you have to wait for, and therefore this can not be completed in a week.

I "finished" the puzzles in 130 hours on hard but I plan to keep this tribe going through the new year to get those hours in and the events. I am keeping the villagers count low, and trying to keep the villagers living longer and longer.

The first time I tried the game, I had way too many people and too many kids, this time it is more manageable (sp?). You have to play with it and try different scenerios. I have played Diner Dash 1 and 2 and once you get to the end, you really do get to the end. This is the only game that I know that really does keep going even when you are not doing anything to it. That is what makes it really cool. And for $20, it is definitely worth it!
