Not what I expected
Second, the game is different in another way because it has a storyline that you follow throughout the game. Although the storyline is forced, it is still fun and interesting to get through. The storyline is your generic evil tycoon thwarting, but with the sims style charm. There are five basic parts to the storyline, and each have unique goals to complete. Your ultimate goal is to thwart Daddy Bigbucks, and on the way you make interesting friends, gain popularity, and have crazy adventures. It's rather goofy but it's still fun.
The graphics are what you would expect from a gba game, fairly good. The music can become grating if you play for a few hours at a time.
The five basic parts of the storyline might not seem like much in the beginning, but it will usually take longer than expected. It has good depth for a GBA game, but it is a one time only game to play. You could always go back through it again later though.
