If you've never played this game, play it, nao! On sale or not, this game is worth it. If you like The Sims to some degree you'll probably enjoy this too, specially if you've ever removed the ladder out of the pool, trapped them or were ever amused by their disgrace.

Differently from The Sims you can't control humans directly, your main (initial) goal is to scare the hell out of them and to do that you have ghosts and scary creatures at your disposal, the more they scare, the more powerful they get. As the game progresses, things get more tricky than simply scaring off humans off the premises and what might have seemed like a silly game at a glance becomes and an addictive, fun and challenging game as you must release other ghosts and do things in certain orders to succeed.

Seriously, try it. And if it's on sale and you actually decide you don't like it, all you're losing is a buck.. which is cheaper than a small slice of cake, or like buying a soda.
