One of the great features of Virtual Families Free for iPad is its continued real-time game running, even if you’re not actually playing it at any given time. Events still occur to your little people, and they may well need a helping hand if left to their own devices for too long. That’s a great little trick employed by developers Last Day of Work to get you returning to Virtual Families again and again. The object of the game is to choose one of the many little people “who live inside your iPad” and help them grow and mature towards their life goals. This could mean getting them into the right career, finding a spouse and getting married, starting a family and raising children. Look after your precious family home, make improvements over time and ensure that it remains in a good state of repair. Of course there’s also time for leisure and there are great ways in helping your virtual people chill out. Virtual Families is not an all action adrenaline rush; it is very much a slow burner but compulsive nevertheless. There are many ways to play this app, something which keeps it a fresh gaming experience. For example, you can determine your people’s personality by simple behavior modification: praise them for some things and scold them for others. My younger son Thomas is trying to turn his person nasty at the moment by scolding any good behaviors displayed by him… There are unexpected events and extreme weather conditions to keep things interesting, along with family illnesses to deal with and even puzzles to solve around the house. It’s quite amazing just how addictive this type of simulation game actually is. I guess it’s another game where you get the chance to play god.
