    Completely Amazing.
    This game is just amazing and incredible at the same time. You can do whatever you dreamed to do. But, No Gore! Why can't they have murderes come into the house (Burglars come, but no Murderers), They cant go to the hospital or accidentally break their arms or get them chopped off by a ham sandwich. Anyway, astounding gameplay, had me hooked from the start, suprising since my arsenal happens to be mostly FPS (First Person Shooter), RTS (Real-Time Strategy) War Games, Gory Platform games, 3-rd Person Shooters, RPG (Role-Playing Game)s like Diablo and Diablo 2 and of course, my beloved Fighting Games. Get this game. I told all my friends and they all bought it and are also hooked. I have all expansions except Vacation and Unleashed, into one game. It's fantastic! 9.5/10 (.5 percent taken away because of Minimal Violcence and No Gore)
