Our House gets competition from Home Sweet Home

Somehow, the Wii is now in the position of being the game system with two games about designing and building houses -- not including MySims or the inevitable Animal Crossing. We're quite sure that when Majesco announced Our House, they'd be comfortably alone in a genre of their very own.

Home Sweet Home is a WiiWare game from BigBlueBubble based on a casual PC title of the same name (and the same gameplay!) Rather than home-building, Home Sweet Home focuses on interior design and renovation, casting the player as a professional decorator. You'll talk to your clients about their needs, and then direct a team to do the appropriate building and decorating.

In addition to the 'home-design' genre, Home Sweet Home also joins Our House in the category of games whose titles remind us of songs. Enjoy some Mötley Crüe! It's Crüesday.

Oh you mean like Trading Spaces or While You Were Out, except without the fun hateful comments seen on the show.
Let's hope creativity and availability actually works in this game, otherwise it's totally gonna' suck as a "I need a bed and 2 couches with a fridge"-game.

...yeah, my gf is totally getting this.

Definitely won't be choosing the Crew from "While you were out" lol. Hopefully in this game everything won't go to hell like that one episode where the woman was pissed with her "Re-designment". Aside from that, looks good.

played the free demo on my computer.. well, actually my sister played it because i discovered this for her.. but i watched her delight as she lived out her HGTV fantasies. I'll be getting this game for her birthday, which is in may when it releases! My only complaint is that it seems you cannot put things catty-corner (or diagonal).. hopefully they allow that ability in the wii version. but if not, she still loved it, and i was glad to see her having fun with a video game!
