Before i got my DS i asked for this game, however once i read the reviews i kind of wish i didnt ask for it, though once i got it i was happy and find it quite enjoyable. It's not amazing, but its quite good, there are a variety of missions that you are given and to complete which make it more fun. Firstly you need to earn money to build the rooms in your hotel you can do this by collecting various items and selling them for money or playing the lottery scratchcard game to win some extra cash. When you have some cash buy some rooms to build, check in some guests and once they check out you would have earned more money to buy the rest of the rooms in the hotel such as the art gallery, the gym, the rat room etc. there a re lots of rooms therefore you need to start earning money to build them. once you've got them you can earn money or even steal money from the safe to buy furniture for the hotel. you can interact with guests to make them happy and they may even tip you. you can hoover… more »

There is also a mummy in the desert who asks you to take on missions. It's a fab game, you can stay on it all day or just play on it a bit every now and then. If you leave it for a bit you will see when you next play you may have some messages such as what has happened since you last played eg: someone checked out and paid the bill in full, or that you didnt find an item in time therefore he wasnt happy. the sims is in real time as the missions they want you to do are like find this object by 12.33 which is our time therefore we have to do it by then. However it says get your hotel to 100% rating but now i have done that i am unsure when the game actually finishes as i still have laods of number plates to find, and i am still given missions to do, so is this game actaully never ending?? i am unsure, but it is fun and worth the buy!
