There you have it, over to you. Is this a must-buy, a maybe or a hard-pass?
Your opinions might help any Addict who’s not made up their minds yet so please share your thoughts in the comments.
Back tomorrow with a look at what’s in the Store.
As Always, Pass. Because IT will be surely Part of Some other Box to buy with Donuts only or other ingame coins in the Future. 😀
Think if anyone is going to buy this the character’s should have all tasks animated and voiced, £8:99 a reasonable price but I pass this time, I would however like to see a character mystery box offering deals on past character’s that have been offered, EA worth a thought 😎
I agree!! Characters that cost real world money should be voiced and have all jobs visual and animated! What’s the point of forking over real cash to EA and get another mute? Thanks for nothing, EA
