I've been playing Game Dev Story for a week now (not continuously mind) and it's the crack cocaine of iphone games. It's incredibly addictive, all consuming and someone on a game dev story binge looks terrible from the outside.

Personally I thought the graphics were fine for the type of game it was, but then again I used to spend most of my iphone gaming time on dropzap and backgammon NJ.

Yes I've been playing it continuously since getting it about 3 or 4 days ago.

I just finished (reaching the end of year 20) after re-starting several times. All in all the game totally lost it's fun after year 14 or so due to being incredibly easy. I had way too much $, characters were all super powerful, etc. (as such I see no replay value right now).

The only thing that was still hard was getting a perfect 40 on the new games, I would always end up with either a 38 or 39 and only got the 40 a few times.
