It's been compared to The Sims, but I think Habbo has a far more bitter, cynical sense of style.
In 2008, Habbo released their best update. I think their undisputed masterpiece is the Rares section, a section so addictive most people probably don't buy all the best ones, but they should. Because it's not just a metaphor of conformity and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the game itself.
