Buffet, who contributed to the creation of the game, commented that \u201cThe Margaritaville laid-back state of mind is inherently social, and this game has captured the spirit of that lifestyle. With Margaritaville Online, fans across the globe can party together any time and any place.\u201d<\/p>\n
