kudos has the very basics of life put in a very pc computerized video game.kudos has taught my child what to do caught in these situation.The thought of starting as a waiter and going to a certain college can change almost anything.kudos has a perfect way to show how to get a wife or girlfriend when you need to do something else instead you make that sacrifice for that woman.

Totally Addictive, Oct 28, 2007

This game is so simple yet so addictive to play. I have played it so many times, and each time the life of my character was always different. You have to socialise with friends before you become a loner. You need to take evening classes so you can get a high paid job. You can buy books to read and pets to keep you company and scare away thieves. Day by day you have to make choices that will affect how your life will turn out. Its such a challenge yet someone of a very young age would be able to play it. I really recommend this game to anyone who likes virtual and stimulating games! It definitely gets my thumbs up.

An enjoyable game, Oct 14, 2007

by Isaac (Singapore)

Kudos hones one’s life skills by allowing the player to manage a life and construct a network of friends through social activities like going for a movie. After each event, there are ratings to inform the quality of it. I like the part where I have choices to make such as the type of food to dine on in a restaurant and each choice has a consequence. If one decides to feast with alcohol, his alcohol level will rise and it affects the job prospects. This is indeed realistic. In life, we also have diverse choices but deciding on the right one to attain desirable results is challenging. 
However, there are rooms for improvement. The game has a weak graphic and all it displays is the protagonist and the objects such as the immobile car, the piano, etc. I understand that it is redundant to showcase the detailed graphics because it does not contribute to the game. Instead it uses space. This is where the second problem comes in. The game is not a competent platform for one to showcase his imaginations. It is very restricted and it drags on after one has achieved the ‘ultimate lifestyle’, which is described as ‘wealthy and accomplished’. One would feel accomplished on achieving this, because he has started from ‘an unemployed recluse’. However, the game is claustrophobic and does not allow marriages, what’s more houses, better jobs (blending in with clinching of deals) and hence, it becomes lackluster and after playing the free trial once, he or she would not give it a second glance.
Hence, I urge the game producer to expand it a little with more job opportunities, more endings and dramatic situations (like problems of relatives, in-laws and marriages). This would definitely fortify the game, making it even more realistic and appealing. 
Nevertheless, the idea of this tortuously crafted game is very fresh and YOU ought to try it at least once.

I never knew that playing a game on a computer could be so much fun and have you wanting to play again and again. Until I played Kudos. Oh my God I’am telling you I ENJOYED PLAYING THE GAME SO MUCH! It was boring at first until I really sat there in got a hand of it. It seems as if the more I played the more I learned. It’s a very cool game. But only if life was that easy.
BOTH THUMBS UP TO KUDOS!!!!!!!!

Kudos: Real life, but better., Oct 06, 2007

Ever wanted to do something, but be unable to do that? Well, have no fear, Kudos is here! In this game you take control of a dropout with no talents or skills whatsoever, and shape them into a rich… well, whatever. It’s up to you.
When I first played Kudos, I didn’t realize what a good game it was. I was, sadly, on a demo version, which limited my ability to enjoy greatly.
However, upon chancing on a time-limited full-version, I saw what a great game it truly was.
In Kudos, you start out without any skills or talents whatsoever, but as the game progresses you a) buy things which give you more things to do b) make friends who make the game more interesting and challenging to be social c) learn skills that let you do more things.
To put the above in a nutshell, Kudos is a great, open-ended game that expands as you do more things, with conditions (like snow, which enables the ‘Snowball Fight’ thing) that enhance the gameplay, and the developers stick in lots of funny descriptions.

WOW!!!!!!!! That game was WAY better then Sims! It was actually pretty much like sims but better. There were more options to choose from just in the free trial game! Keep these games coming they could get popualer!

I want MORE MORE MORE, Sep 28, 2007

by Triphibious (Utrecht, the Netherlands)

After downloading the demo version and it suddenly stopped..arghh.. I’m hooked already and I don’t want to stop!
I like that it’s close to reality, making life’s choices, saying yes to one thing is sometimes saying no to something else. Like taking an evening course has it’s effects on your social life. It’s more realistic than the sims, more straightforward. I like the ‘simple’ presentation of the game, it’s fun and worth while to download. I’m certainly going to buy the original version!

Addictive, challenging and worth your while, Sep 27, 2007

by Liz (Sydney, NSW Australia)

When I first heard of Kudos, I thought of the sims- but kudos is so different and so much more.  You start off as a single, 20 year old, dead-end job with not very meaningful relationships. Your job is to climb up the career ladder (medicine is the easiest and highest paying), cultivate strong relationships (it takes a while to get the hang of it and for a long time I only had two strong friends) and earn kudos points. You earn them by meeting new people, having positive outings and being seen in the ‘right’ places. You can order a cleaning service, learn kung-fu (recommended for those after work robbers), buy a cat, up your IQ and unwind in a bath tub. There are so many avenues to explore- the music/sound really makes you click with your character.

4.5 stars because it’s hard to get off your feet but once you do- you’re hooked!
Fantastic game and I can’t wait for more!

Best game ever!, Sep 15, 2007

by Keegan (Melbourne, Vic Australia)

This is the best game I’ve ever played by far. It’s based on life better than The Sims franchise. It has everything you could want in a life simulation game you interact with your friends or make them your enemy’s. You do things for fun like watch TV or go out for a walk or take your dog if you’ve got one. You choose your career and even the way you travel to and from work! You shop for food, clothes and many other things that you would go out to shop for in real life. You can fall in love or never socialize at all. I had so much fun with this game if I had it for real I would get rid of The Sims for good. It’s totally worth waiting the time to download and install because it’s hours and hours of fun. I personally think that the full version is great pricing considering what the game is like. I think the games for teenagers or adults alike. Great fun! There is not a thing I didn’t like about the game at all

Something I learned, Sep 14, 2007

by Sol Marie (New Britain, CT)

This game showed me that its hard if you don’t consider studying. The many times i got robbed showed me what it was like not having a proper education. Night school didnt give me time to go out and have some fun with my friends and in the end I lost them all. It felt good when I completed a course and showed that not talking gave me a chance to go up in studies. I was working as a waitress and I even got sick and attacked.

by Naomi (UK)

This is one of the best games I have played for a long while. Nice and simple to learn but leaves you wanting more when the hour trial runs out. The simple set up means that you can find your way around easily and there are a good range of activities for you to do. Definately worth downloading although its infurating when your flying along and the hour runs out.

Kudos Review, Sep 01, 2007

by Louis (Concord, NH USA)

GREAT GAME! I hated how i only got 60 min. of this. Get a job, take courses, hang out with friends, live your life! I also love the mellow background music. You wont regret playing this!

This game is the best ever!, Aug 23, 2007

by Erica (Springfield, TN USA)

I found this game to be exhilarating! Kudos is worth the downloading wait! I have played Sims and hated it because you are always trying to find things and you can’t. Kudos is simple and fun. I refered several friends and they also love it. It’s way better than any of the other simulated games I’ve played. I even let my niece play and she was as upset as I was when the trial ended. I can’t wait to play the Full Version!

by Full Vega0 (Kent, Engalnd, UK)

It’s a great game, although it has its downsides, when I played on it I did not find what I expected, I thought it would be a first person game. I recommend it to all of you, it is fun, time consuming, and just a great game.

Challenging and fun, Aug 12, 2007

by Teresa (Puyallup, WA)

I downloaded the trial version and was disappointed when my time ran out.  The game is both fun and challenging.  Totally worth the time to download and I am now interested in purchasing the full version.  My five year old daughter played with me.  It is child friendly and educational for them as well.  Two thumbs up!

Excellant!!, Aug 11, 2007

by Samantha (NC, USA)

This game is very addictive. Kudos is easier to get into the game play, unlike sims versions. There’s no worrying about your decor or running around to get things done. It is sad that the demos are only an hour, but then you would think 2 hours isn’t enough. Thats how great this game is. Trust me you will want the full version.

my review!!!!, Aug 08, 2007

by tara townsley (northern ireland)

well i thought kudos was a very good and interesting game. It lets you experience what life is like and it’s fun. I liked that you could have pets and go to college. i didn’t like when the sim went on a date or to work and it didn’t let me go too. it was worth the while of downloading and installing it. It would be enjoyable for kids and adults. i will hopefully be downloading the full version soon
