Welcome to the real world. A world where a man chooses his own destiny, and his actions will live with him for the rest of his life. Welcome to the world of Robert L. Safiera. Night Shift puts you in the shoes of Robert to try and fix where you have gone wrong already once before. Your every move will determine if you make it out of this mess, or if you just dig yourself deeper in. And the way you play the game in itself will determine what kind of ending you will deserve. Play through 5 levels to accomplish set goals, personal goals, mission goals, as well as spending your time working on different skills to achieve a standard in society. Get yourself a job you can be proud of (or one that will get your through the week), have dealings with the Mafia, travel the globe in search for a bargain, borrow cash from the City Bank, or even spend your time at the tracks, or the poker tables. But what may keep you alive will be the rule of any great businessman Buy low, sell high.
Reveals how a criminal mind works, and how tough living on the street can be.
Cons
Too many glitches. Can't deposit money into bank; can't pay the debt off willingly; no graphics or videos to interact with. Can't uninstall!

Summary
A remake of Dope Wars with a couple of twists
Nikson_stb
Pros
The game is clearly modelled after the slightly older Dope Wars, which plays by the same principle of buying low and selling high.
<p>
<p>Night Shift has a few interesting "missions" to complete, a couple of which are quite tricky, and most of which are interesting.
<p>
<p>The interface looks better, more "professional" than Dope Wars' default Windows95 theme.
<p>
<p>The few sound effects present are well placed and dont annoy even after a couple hours of play.
<p>
<p>An interesting concept is "personal goals", which are long-term and hard-to-achieve tasks (getting a certain job, having a certain amount of cash, etc) that unlock cheat codes when completed (mostly instant-cash cheats).
Cons
Some of the features have no real purpose, such as travel (which was a major part of Dope Wars) and medical aid (you heal every week automatically).
<p>
<p>There are a few bugs that can be exploited, for example investing all your money in merchandise then asking Centerlink for money will skip to the following week without deducting weekly expenses such as rent and food.
<p>
<p>Very small variety in usable items... or i should say weapons, since there isn't anything else.
Summary
Definitely original. Feels realistic despite being non graphical
rictus666
Pros
Definitely original. Havent come across any other games about being an ex drug addict :)
<p>
<p>Even though is non graphical still has a realistic feel too it.
Cons
Some pictures would be nice. Eg a pic of an Ipod that you are about to steal. Or a picture of the person you are going to steal off.
<p>
<p>Something to say what you should be doing would be good. An important button is 'finish week' but this isn't a prominent button.
