DO NOT GET THIS GAME
Edited again, Mar 10, 2012. And,if you go through the positive reviews, you'll notice they are STILL posting B.S. comments from fake users to "gin up" the rating of this awful, sneaky, stealing REAL money, game. I wish Amazon would remove the fake reviews so that the game would get the ONE star it deserves. Edited: Jan 2, 2012 Just a commentary, at the end of the review. This is an evil gaming company. This game is designed with children in mind. However, when you install the game, please take note of the warnings about what it wants to access (and for that matter, be sure to check ANY app you install - if it wants to access your account information on the store, I'd avoid it). Horror story: We install the game, and it seems innocent and cute. My five year old starts playing and enjoys the heck out of it. My wife gets an email about a $99 charge from the market. In shock, she pulls up the email, and then pulls up our online bank account information. Turns out, the "in game" money can be purchased, not just by doing tasks in the game, but with real world money. I reloaded the game on my tablet and couldn't find a spot that actually even offered $99 purchases, only about $15, but kids will be kids, I guess. She had no idea what the value of $99 or that it was even "real money." It gets worse. Somehow, we get emails saying we were charged this $99 charge, FIVE TIMES. As we watched $500 in hard earned cash go flushing down the toilet, we tried to contact our bank before the charges went through. Turns out, unless it was fraud, there was nothing they could do. Well, a company recommended with an Android Market's Editor's Choice game and like 20 other titles surely would take care of their customer? No. After their never answering their phones for five days on end, the charge clearing our bank, and many emails to their system that says for us to wait five days for a customer rep to contact us, we were sent a form mail that said they couldn't do anything to help us. What's worse, this is apparently a French company. I have no idea how to get our money back. But be warned, make SURE you put a security lock on your in game purchases. And DON'T PLAY GAMES BY GLU MOBILE. Buyer beware! Edit: First, I'm glad to see Amazon has finally stopped making this game the poster-child for their gaming advertisements. Second - notice that like half the five star reviews of this thing are one line posts, almost all in December, and written by what I'd call, "English is not their primary language." This is such a scam.
