Desperate Housewives demo available

PC News | Download it right here, right now.
PALGN has teamed up with Funtastic to offer our readers an opportunity to download an interactive demo for the PC title, Desperate Housewives. Desperate Housewives is due out on the 16th of November and will retail for $49.95 in Australia.

The demo comes in at a very generous 40MB. The game casts you as the new housewife who moves into Wisteria Lane, a neighbourhood where everything is never as perfect as it seems. Just like the series, the game is narrated by Brenda Strong, aka Mary Alice.

The game contains 12 levels with up to 50 hours of gameplay. Each episode (level) has a secret but you're not able to move on until you've got the whole story. As the new housewife you can explore Wisteria Lane and the surrounding community, gossiping with neighbours or befriending one of your favourite housewives. You'll need to maintain your household, keep your family happy and maintain your house. You have full control over your housewife, as there are over thirty different modifications. You'll even be able to jump online because there is a lot of downloadable content.

We've actually been playing Desperate Housewives for a little while and it's hard not to be impressed and surprised. The game is primarily aimed at females, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable game and we highly recommend a download, you may even surprise yourself.

What are you all using to download & what ISP are you on?

Died at 2.1MiB Firefox 2.0, Bigpond.

The game looks like somewhere between The Sims and The Sims 2 graphics wise, but it looks like it has some better game-play elements (yay cooking!).

OK...i have three words, abbreviated into three letters to describe what I think about this...W T F???!!!

(and some question marks and exclamation marks)

Great show, but I just CAN'T see this becoming an even remotely interesting game, gamingwise, although, it might be OK for my sisters for my Mum, but I don't get it, and don't think anyone who got it for the gaming value would enjoy it.

^ you know, demos are designed specifically to answer that question.

actually it's a damn small demo by current standards, i really should DL it too. especially since i though similar to you, wondering exactly how this game could be any good.

Why is the demo no longer available?
5 years ago
Because it cost Palgn thousands of dollars in extra bandwidth due to newbs downloading it.

Ah, that would be why I can't download it either. This game intrigues me but I might get it out at a video store to try before buying. Its not really one of those games that I can be sure I'm going to like.
