Simple Life
SCORE: 76
Most intelligent people yearn for the
simple life. There is something so magical about doing less. I enjoy an
entire weekend with no television, computers and phones. Spending
quality time with loved ones is better without the stresses of all those
things. It also makes me think about being content with what one has,
and not keeping up with the Joneses.
As wonderful as all of that is, it has little to do with my review of
Simple Life on the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. I suppose in some ways
Simple Life tries to fulfill some of those on the previously mentioned
hand helds. Simple Life threw me for a loop at first. Especially when I
let my first born son play it. He could not figure out what to do with
it.
To be fair Simple Life tells the player if you press the 'I' button in
the upper right hand corner. Tilt the machine to have your character
move in that direction, and tap around the screen for different
interactions. Reminds me of the Moogies. Simple Life has a few different
kinds of things to do. Flying around in space is one of the better ones
in this app.
Players are provided the choice of a male or female character. There is
not much difference between the two. The background graphics in Simple
Life are beautiful. The down side is there are not many screens to go
through. Simple Life costs ninety-nine cents. The level of content
compared to the price is very close.
The goal of Simple Life is to relax the player. It did not fulfill that
goal for me, however I can see how it could. Especially if you just
enjoy the backgrounds and embrace doing very little. I feel that there
is an audience out there for Simple Life that will enjoy this app. It is
one of the most unique apps I have ever played.
