Any information on this DS game? Has anyone seen it? The release date was Dec 9th but I can not find one website with a screenshot or review of the game. Gamestop says they have it in stock for $20, so it has been released. Its really strange that not one site would have a review or at least a few screen shots up yet.I guess the realestate market has gotten so bad that no one wants to even look at a game about building and selling houses!Would love to get at least a screen shot of the game so I can see what were dealing with here.

i dont think im downloading this one, unless im really bored... Sim City DS can be the exact same, i guess, so im keeping sim city until i want to give this one a try.

I gave it a shot and after 30 minutes was done with it. It's like the creators could not decide if they wanted a building game like Sim-City or a buying/selling game like the old "Drug Wars" text game from back in the early 80's. Instead they made a watered down verison of both and put them together. This concept would have been great if they put more effort into making this game; but alas, they did not.-The graphics are ok at best.
-You can only upgrade your houses with the same 3 cookie cutter upgrades, like adding "new paint" to a house you JUST BUILT!
-Your entire building area is only the size of the ds screen; with all your lots in one spot. No scrolling around a large building area.-I can go on but its not worth my time. Not worth the buy, download at best and even then it will be deleted quickly.

I played it as well. I though I would like it but, alas, I do not. I've deleted it from my PC and my microSD HC card.
