Wow, this game really disappointed me. I was looking forward to playing it because a) I love easy games, b) I love games that let me set my own pace and c) I love games that have lots of little tasks to complete. But the way this game is executed is just horrible. Having to return to home base at the end of every short day is maddening, and it is super annoying to have to plug in to a wall outlet every few minutes, especially right when it comes in the middle of a task.

This is a rare case where I believe the GameSpot editorial score was actually way too high.
