Desperate Housewives: The Game from Buena Vista Games is a title based on a very popular, award-winning TV series whose Polish title is Ready for Everything. The game is a little bit of a simulator of everyday life (a model known from The Sims ), and a little adventure.
The game begins when a family moves to Wisteria Lane: a successful doctor working at the Fairview Medical Center, a wife with a forgotten past after a jogging accident and their son. Edie Britt first introduces the wife to Wisteria Lane and visits Bree Van de Kamp, who invites her to gossip at her house along with Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo and Gabrielle Solis. A pair of brothers then visit the player's house: Daniel Fox, a famous designer and his twin brother Frank Fox, who installs an Internet service in the player's computer. Your character then progresses through episodes, completing tasks that range from gardening and cooking for your family, to discovering the secrets of the neighborhood.
The new wife must battle off a love rival to her husband as his secretary, Jackie Marlen, stops at no costs to get what she wants as well as cranky neighbor, Etta Davenport. Not only this but she must deal with the antics of her unruly son and the people around it. We also find, the new residents isn't a nice as it seems when a private investigator, Erik Larsen, shows up in town alongside a shady businessman, Vincent Corsetty, who seems to have ulterior motives. In the end, secrets are aired in public and a desperate decision is made in a hostage situation.
It can be assumed that Desperate Housewives: The Game takes place in a timescale in between Seasons 2 and 3 of the television show. Such hints include Susan Mayer revealing her relationship with Dr. Ron McCready to the protagonist, and Gabrielle and Carlos's marriage, which is still intact. However, there is no sign of Orson, who joins as a series regular at the beginning of the 3rd season. Susan Mayer is also single, and Lynette Scavo makes no mention of Kayla Huntington, Tom's illegitimate daughter. Also Susan's house has not burned down yet it looks like it does in season 1 and 2.
Desperate Housewives: The Game received mixed reviews in the gaming media. Some reviewers praised it as a well-written and faithful adaption of the television series; however, the game also attracted criticism for its derivative, simplistic gameplay and prominent product placement.[2]
Many customers who have bought Desperate Housewives: The Game have found it does not work on their computers/laptops. After thousands of complaints Buena Vista posted on their website the reason the game might not work. The reason Buena Vista claimed the game does not work is because of the System Checker identifying the video card as not supporting either Vertex or pixel shader technology. The 'Video Acceleration' row in the table will display 'FAIL' to indicate the system requirement failure. The 'Required System' column will show the deficiency ('Accel'). Full details of video cards that will run the game are on the website.[3]
Desperate Housewives: The Game has four different endings.

I'm not getting this Daemon tools, and the option to mount doesn't show up... sucks, same thing for oldgamesdownload. At least they have directions, unlike you guys... but still it doesn't work either way

I made the game work using Daemon Lite Tools, by mounting it on a drive of type SCSI. The game wouldn't let me save at first, but it worked when I ran it in Compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3), and as an Administrator. When doing it like this it sometimes takes a bit longer before it starts running, but it works.
The game was a lot of fun :)

The Sims, but they speak English, with dialog, you can walk around the neighborhood, commit adultery, unleash your inner psychopath, burglarize your neighbors and watch them in their sleep.
Worth a try if you liked the Sims at some point in your life.
