56 Sage Street - Student Reviews
Student reviews
"It's a good game and does make you think about the choices you have to make when you have to look after yourself. There were some problems though like when I got the job as a train announcer it wouldn't recognise me when I went back but it could be that I was making mistakes. Working out how to earn money and spending it right was hard work but enjoyable.
Overall it was fun and interesting and my friends are playing it now. I only got to level 1 though. I would give it a score of 7/10"

"Sage Street is an online game, like The Sims. It's all about making money.
Overall, it's a good game. It's realistic like life and teaches you about money and business in a fun way. There is a good variety of money making schemes. The animation is nice, simple and easy to look at. It's pretty simple to play, you can play it straight away. You do need to know a bit about banks etc, but that's not very complicated. It's quite an easy game to play. It was easy to get to level 2 and you could finish in 2-3 hours.
Overall I would give 7/10 for an online game of this type."

"I enjoyed playing Sage Street it does make you think about things in a different way I was looking forward to leaving home and doing what I wanted but the game made me think that you have to sometimes do work you don't like and do lots of boring things as well. The game made me think more about getting the right kind of job when I leave home, spending and saving money sensibly and looking after my health and appearance more."

"1st and 2nd level i found easy. It made me think more about how I use my money, but got stuck on level 3 where Mr C asked me to work for a solicitor and I found it difficult to write the letter within the time given. I found the solicitors accent hard to understand. I tried 3 times to complete."
