Video Game Reviews of The Sims: Complete Collection
Customer Review: The Edition That Should Have Been Sold First
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sims, as most of us who have played it know, is a classic game. Wil Wright initially sought out to produce a "home builder" game that let users play with architectural concepts. Of course, he simmed it up and went platinum.
There was no better game than The Sims - certainly for its genre (if another games exists outside of The Sims) - until the inevitable happened... the sequel came out.
The Sims Complete Edition is the marketing ploy to get consumers in the Sims market to drop that last $40 we hadn't yet. More so, it was to get simmers to reconcile the fact that they couldn't afford all those expansions over the years, but now is their last chance. (Marketing!) They are still testing our impulses, trying to sneak past our practicality.
Almost all PC game developers are undertaking the same marketing campaign: leave out material for the base game, then compile it later for a "separate" product, ergo the expansion packs. (PC game developers are getting bolder every year.)
I bet you spent over $100 on The Sims already trying to expand it. What's another $40, Maxis asks, to have it all? The Sims Complete Edition is an excellent example of what video game producers are doing with PC gamers nowadays.
Well, my friends, my only suggestion in this whole review is that you TRY to get away from what I call the "Mosquito Effect." You see the glowing light and you drone right into it. I've been there - I know. Then you wonder why you eat top ramen and you have your friends pick you up when you go out to parties. Suggestion: wait until EVERY game you know hits its sequel, THEN buy the completed first game. It will be fully expanded and cost you a fraction of the overall price.
I am sure this review won't amount to a hill of beans, but if you ever want to know where your money is going, or how PC game developers succeed nowadays, use The Sims Complete Edition as a reference. It is still one of the best games of all time, of course, but we also got played in the process!
Just imagine this... It is the late 1990s. Maxis produces a fine game. It includes pets, magic, all kinds of carpet and wallpaper, and all sorts of furniture and little goodies. It cost you $250. Now imagine this... It is the 2000s. That same product will cost you $40. Aren't you glad you waited?
Customer Review: IT WAS SOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is very fun. It helps you understand what it's like to live your life as a working grown-up! I had so much fun!!!!! I'm sure kids of all ages will enjoy it!Customer Review: No Ending In Sight
Summary: 4 Stars
the game is good but as you play it and advance in your chosen job, It becomes near impossible to get the top job. It requires you to have so many friends that it is more work than it is worth. Since you can never reach the top the game eventually becomes monotonous since it has no ending. Then the game turns into a good past time but no longer a great game. Other than that it is a good game.Customer Review: So Additing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I play the sims every day so I know what I'm talking about when I say THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER! Some parents might not let thier kids play this game but that is up to whoever is buying the game. I have gotten every one of my friends addicted to this game now that they all have a coppy. I agree some times the sims can get stuck but you can get them out of theys situations very easily. I have every expansion pack accept for hot date and house party. I hope you enjoy The Sims! I am a kid. Customer Review: sims is beter then sims2
