It is different from the problem solving or fantasy monster killing game it tests your heart and ability to care for a baby. While it is free to play, if you have a job or school or other life events which will interfere with gameplay, you will find yourself spending real money to pay for the services of a virtual Manny to care for your virtual baby. There are lots of other things to buy, but his clothes and locations to take your baby for a walk. But there isnt that much to do with your baby once you are there. I still like the excevss ability I like the fact that it works with voiceover. But the baby sounds fussy and irritable when the log shows it is happy. I think the game needs more work. So that it really is fun and adorable to play the game. It gets kind of tiring after a while.
