Review Approach:
My approach for this review was to bring collectors/fans of retro games who are looking for NDS games here so they can buy this hidden gem
This game is NOT like any other sims games, this has aliens, goons, robots, and much more.
The game starts with a hard rock song playing as a car barrels down a lone desert road into a lonely, secluded town. The game will then take you to a brightly colored homescreen with a chipper little tune playing in the background. For the Create-A-Sim portion, you get to create your character with a surprising amount of detail for a DS game, you then make it into the vast, creepy, and unsettling world of Strangetown. The main story revolves around a hotel you have to take care of, Emperor Xizzle the alien, and three main antagonists, Frankie Fussili: the italian crime boss, he will make you do his dirty work until you work with special agent Penelope Red to get him in jail. The next antagonist is Ava Cadavra, she begins a cow cult and you have to work with an ancient mummy to find the weapon to break the spell of the cow. And the final antagonist is Optimum Alfred, he will require 20 fuel and a battery to help with the hotel, then he will cut off the power, forcing you to work with the lord of aliens Emperor Xizzle to repair the elevator, sneaking in you destroy his blueprints, and fight for your life. Credits roll, game ends. Well now the game is over, have fun running your hotel, and ya know what? Go down to Mamma Hoggs saloon for a drink, you need it after this journey.

Other than the clunky controls with the Super Squirter it is almost perfect.
