2012-05-10

2011-11-10
Dead villagers..
I love this game, but my people keep dying!! Because of the lack of food!! And half the time my trees just sit there with nothing on them nor are they growing more!! Than all my people kark it!! Because of this it is becoming repetitive and annoying to play...
2011-07-14
Virtual villagers 3???
Damnit! I have definitely played this on computer before; and know what all the challenges are; disappointed! :( but it is still an amazing game... The people are very little though and you cant change their names; which was a cool feature of the computer version.
2011-05-24
It's a good game
I recommend this game to anyone who wants to buy it. Please fix the bug that crashes this game. Thankyou.
2011-04-12
Awesome game...:D
If you are looking for heaps of continuos fun get this app!!!
2011-04-12
Best game ever!
This is the best game I have ever played i haven't had a problem with food its just that i want to get tech points faster
2011-03-16
Love it :)
I really love this game. The only bad thing is the food doesn't grow back very fast so my villagers always die of starvation. It would be good if it kept a record of all your alchemy potions.
Other than that it's a really good game and I strongly recommend you buy it.
2011-02-09
Fantastic
This game is absolutely fantastic. If u love long games that continue on from where u left, all Virtual Villager games are for you. Sometimes very tricky, other times not. Very challenging but that's great. It's a perfect game for kids as well as adults, sheez, I'm 34!
2011-01-21
Highly reccomend
This game is so cool I highly recommend it to anyone. The 4th one is about to come out, it will probably be even better.
2011-01-20
Awesome
Awesome game but food doesn't grow back fast enough and WHERE'S VIRTUAL VILLAGERS 4 & 5
2011-01-16
Great game!
This is a great game - but I have the earlier version, and I think the people are bigger in that one, and its much better that way.
Doesn't crash as much as it used to, BUT DON'T USE GAME WHEN YOU HAVE VIRTUAL FAMILIES, even just both on your iphone/ipod. thats when it crashed for me, i realised.
I, personally, have completely finished all the milestones in this game. Once you do that, all you do is keep up the population and keep people learning skills. They usually get their own food and stuff.
I have over 8 million tech points and 80,000 food points, and frankly im sick of that. it needs a way for you to spend tech points once youve bought all the technologies levels!!! There's a clothing hut, but i couldnt be bothered changing all their clothes all the time!!
Fix this please, I'm getting kinda bored!!
2011-01-09
Virtual Villager fan
This game is really good apart from all my people have died from a lack of food because the food does not grow back quicker enough. It is really enjoyable so would of given 5 stars but because of this it only gets 4.
2010-12-24
Buy buy buy buy buy buy buy
I luuuurrrvveee it , try changing the time time on your phone/ iPod it helps and look for cheats it makes it more fun as you then know what to do (:
2010-12-12
Really good
I really like this game! I love to watch my people grow up and discover new things on the island. The the only problem i have with this game is the food keeps running out. Once the honey has been collected, there is none left. I hope the creators fix the problem
2010-12-04
Food
How do u get the fruit from the tree up high
The food grows way too slowly apart from that it's good
2010-11-04
really good
only one problem, my villagers keep dying of starvation. need to fix how fast food grows
2010-10-19
Food tips anyone??
Great game really addictive. Only thing that bugs me is that my people keep dying of starvation even with the food upgrade!! Food grows way too slowly! Any tips?? Cheats??
2010-09-20
:D
Well this game was really fun however after I updated it the characters became really small which i think is pathetic and annoying because I have to strain my eyes... but over all it Its kinda challenging but worthwhile to see all your little people grow up :)
2010-09-18
Pitcher Plant
I seem to be missing the picther plant and can't make the potion for the sharks. Does anyone else have this problem?
2010-08-22
not cool
not worth it. I dont recomend you buy it
2010-08-15
Great but...
I really enjoyed this game when I first got it, but it often freezes and doesn't save all the time. For example before I went to bed I had over 500 pieces of food, but when I woke up only 6hrs later all the food was gone! I didn't get a pop-up window about an event which took it - it was just gone! Also another time I played - the nursing mother only had 30mins until nursing was due to end. I turned the game off for half an hour and when I started playing again she had 96min more to go...and no! the game was not on pause! PLEASE fix the bugs because I really like the game.
2010-08-06
Irritating beyond belief
Do not buy this game. I have enjoyed virtual villagers 1 & 2 but this app freezes and crashes CONSTANTLY. My record so far is 12 crashes in 2 minutes. I want my money back.
2010-07-29
Virtual villagers rocks
It's a great way to pass the time all the time!!! So far no problems with crashing!!! Unlike virtual families lite that crashed and wouldn't save!!!
2010-07-09
Crashing
Fix the bug that keeps making it crash when you open it
2010-07-03
Very good game
It's a very good game I like vv2better because you run out of food on this one also please fix the crashing thx
2010-07-02
Great
Challenging and addictive a must buy for anyone who enjoyed vv2, hasn't crashed once for me.
2010-05-24
Top game
This game is unreall!!! But what happens once I have built everything and my master builder dies? I can't move the statue! What happens now?
2010-05-22
Mixed feelings
Ths game is totally awsome but hw do u earn more food. I run out of food quckly and I've had to start over 6 times. If any1 no's hw 2 earn mre food plz tell me.
Otherwise ths game is da bomb
2010-04-22
gah
I love this game, best app I've got.
except it keeps crashing, I'm begining to get very frustrated. good to know that I'm not the only one with the crshing problem. PLEASE FIX! but other than that I love the vitural villagers games. =)
2010-03-12
Pause option
There should be an option to pause/frezze game time completly for when leaving iPod unattended for a while! This would mean when coming back to the game from a long period of time your villagers would have not starved from no food. Note this should only be an option!
2010-01-27
Mixed Feelings?!
Fantastic app, really fun but crashes and you lose all progress... Please fix but other than that great!!!!
2010-01-26
Marvelous
This game is so worth the money. It's a bit rough to start and it can be difficult but push through the learning curve and it's perfect. If you need help there's plenty of walkthroughs on the net. If you are after a sim that is just that, a sim, then this is for you
2010-01-12
very addictive
i am a huge fan of the whole virtual villagers game and they keep getting better with each new one- i cant stop playing!! highly recommend this app to all. hope the next one comes out soon!
2010-01-12
Fab Game
Fabulous game. I don't know what people mean when the say it crashes. It works to perfection so please buy it reader!
2010-01-10
Please fix the bug as soon as possible!
This is so frustrating. The game crashes every so often now and I lose all my progress in the game with that session. Also when I go into the detail screen it sometimes has heaps of w's for a name or an invisible person. :S It also crashes when I am in the detail screen. I wouldn't recommend buying this until it is fixed. I would've given this game 5 stars, but it has bugs so I only gave it 3 stars. Please get an update soon! I can't take this any longer!!
2010-01-09
Great game but.....
The food is hard to find and so far 3 people died :(
2010-01-05
Not as good as version 1
Was good the first day, worked really well, but the next day would open up then crash straight away like version 2. Never have any problems with version 1, and it is easier to interact with the villagers too then version 2 and 3.
2010-01-03
Great game however...
Was great before it restarted me and now keeps crashing! Very frustrating is something being done about this?
2009-12-30
Fishin?
Love this app!! but im always out of food. Is there a way to teach the little dudes to fish?????
2009-12-29
Great
Great game, better than the first one which kept crashing. This one was more stable. Perhaps not as much to do as the first one. Be careful when choosing between magic and nature (I think I should have chosen nature) Only wish the tech points would accumulate faster. Like that its in real time so work continues to progress even when you aren't playing.
2009-12-24
Help
Can't find more food for villagers!! Already used fruit tree and bee hive. But other than that love the game lol
2009-12-17
Keeps crashing
Good game but keeps crashing.
2009-12-16
Buggy as hell
I'm loving the game, but it keeps crashing on me!
2009-12-16
Using the lift
U drag an ADULT to the lift, but not ON it, like beside it (for example on the lift I think it's the right hand side it's like a square shape, u put the villager next to the square but not on it, like as if he's standing on the mud) then wallah!!! He's standing on the lift!!
I hope u understood! Sry if u dnt
2009-11-20
Help!
Guys, how do you use the lift?
2009-11-18
Won't open
Liked v2 however can't play as it won't even open!!! Has crashed every time I've opened it the last few days. So far a waste of $2!!
2009-11-18
I thought that the second one was good!!
Better than the second one!!!!
2009-11-16
