You can get lost
I bought this for my wife this past Christmas. I was a little worried about the purchase as she has never played video games. No Atari, no Nintendo, and definitely nothing like the newer gaming consoles. I felt I even had to follow this gift with a nice pair of earrings just in case it didn’t go over well.
When she opened it she was certainly surprised that I would giver her something like this and I believe in the back of her mind she thought it might be more for me. I can understand that as I was intrigued by it as well. I did have the itch to play it. I of course did buy Mario Bros. to relive my old school Nintendo days.
I also bought Brain Age and Sims Castaway for her just to start. After things settled down in the morning and the kids were taking naps she decided to try Sims Castaway. It was extremely easy to set up and navigate the system itself. About an hour goes by and she hasn’t looked up. I even tried to talk to her thinking she was listening to me…not a chance. She didn’t hear a word. She got pulled into this system fast and if you were to meet my wife you would have thought she would be one of the last people to get addicted to a gaming system.
Hands down this was an all time great gift. She still plays it everyday and the optional gaming list is long enough to keep her entertained for awhile.
