4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice and easy for the kids,
By Chi Man (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Sim Aquarium (Video Game)
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.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: My Sim Aquarium (Video Game)
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!

Realistic but Boring,
This review is from: My Sim Aquarium (Video Game)
I bought this to unwind after stressful days. Fish, watching them swim should be a perfect way of unwinding, but not through this program.
It is very realistic, the fish, the plants and other elements you can add to make your own marine aquarium. The trouble is it doesn't offer much besides buying the fish and choosing ornaments and placing them wherever you like. It would be nice as a screensaver, but not much else. I also have problems on my computer since installing it. I can't get straight to the internet without first having this pop up. It's monotonous and boring. I can't really use it for more than five minutes without getting bored. I can't recommend this.
