Summary: I always figured that new versions were better versions.
Comment: I was wrong.
First off, this product is NOT the first baby simulation game. The first that I can remember (there may be others) came out 10 or so years ago as "Babyz" from PF Magic. Ubisoft bought the rights to the game (and its more popular brothers "Petz" and "Oddballz") after their popularity waned.
As a huge fan of these games when I was younger, I figured I'd give this game a shot. Heck, I still play Petz every now and then. I'd play Babyz too, as I still have the cd, but the key is looong gone. So, I picked up a copy that was on clearance the other day.
Yuck! The old Babyz was much better. I personally didn't like the minigames, but it isn't a big deal. The problem was the touch screen was really awful. Really, really awful. I hope the other "Imagine" games aren't this bad, I was hoping to give a couple of them a shot.
In short, the touchscreen is very inaccurate making doing things frustrating. The graphics, though more "advanced", were not as good (except for, arguably, the babies themselves). I expected the game to be /more/ interesting than it's predecessor, not less. Too bad.
Way to mess up a good thing, Ubisoft. GG. And stop with the untrue advertising.
