An opening cinematic acts as a horrifying prelude to what will ultimately become a mediocre game.
The Partners is a game that epitomizes all that I found bad about Ally McBeal and tries to unceremoniously cram it into a broken Sims formula. Three objective-based campaigns (Sea, Tex and Sun, Gordon & Gordon, and Adios and Goodnight) with multiple episodes, a free mode for creating custom scenarios, and hands-on learning tutorials offer varying degrees of immersion. More than a simple game of social interaction, progress in The Partners requires selecting and winning lawsuits, furnishing offices and making environments palatable to the various characters, manipulating relationships, buying and selling objects, expanding the firm and more.
Characters run the gamut from manic-depressives to playboys with actions ranging from fights and love affairs to back stabbing and personality disorders. More than 100 character interactions and 250 workday actions generate unexpected results as the intricacies of mixing personalities within this TV series-like "soap opera" are explored. The cutthroat competition of a law firm serves as the setting for The Partners, where action and intrigue is determined by the player's manipulation of 20 lawyers, intermingling their needs of love, lust, seduction, success, rest, sport, friendship, beauty, and culture.
