Customer Reviews of My Sim Aquarium

I love my aquarium
It's a simple game. Create your fishtank and buy your fish. Feed them, they will survive. You can research your fish with the encyclopedia. I've had a good time with the game. Each fish has it's own personality. I've had no trouble saving my games as a previous review stated. If you take care of your fish, they will grow and breed. All in all, for the price, it's worth it. And much easier than owning my own aquarium! It's a relaxing simple thing in a sometimes too complex world. DEFINITELY TURN THE MUSIC UP!

My Sim Aquarium
THE GAME DOES NOT SAVE RIGHT OR WELL. IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY I PAID FOR IT. IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD NOT BUY IT.

Nice and easy for the kids
I got this for my 4 year old son who is a fish and aquarium fanatic. Our apartment is too small for a real fishtank so I got this for my laptop computer and is a great way for me and my son to spend some time together. <

>I let him choose what kind of tank he wants, what kind of plants, rocks, decorations, etc. and place them where he wants in the "tank". It makes him happy to choose what he wants and then see it appear on the screen. Allows him to be creative and to sense accomplishment through cause and effect. <

>Then he goes to the fish "encyclopedia" where he chooses what kind of fish he likes, I tell him the fish's name, and then we go into the fish store and he scrolls through the various fish until he finds the same fish that matches the one he found in the "book". We "buy" the fish and then click on "My Aquarium" which puts the fish into the aquarium he designed and he gets to see his fish "swim" around. You can select a classic clownfish and tang which my son thinks are Nemo and Dory. You can then select a fish and click a "Follow" button which zooms in on the fish and follows it around your aquarium. My son repeats this over and over again until there are 1-2 dozen fish in the tank. A neat little trick is that you can "feed" the fish where you shake some food and watch the fish swim over and eat it. You don't get to see the different kinds of fish interact with each other (like the various animals in Zoo Tycoon) and the various fish aren't scaled properly in the tank (for example, a triggerfish is about the same size as a clown fish), but it does the trick for a child. There's not much else to this game. But it keeps my son mesmerized and it's a nice alternative to spend some quality time with him. Now he wakes me up at 6:30 AM and asks if we can play the fish game. <

>Graphics are nice and music gets annoying after awhile (you can turn it off thankfully) but it does the job.
