Video Game Reviews of The Sims Makin' Magic Expansion Pack
Customer Review: Brace yourself - The Sims have Magic!
Summary: 4 Stars
In the final expansion pack to the what seemed to be neverending The Sims series (The creators are discontinuing The Sims expasion packs to head twards the future with the official release of The Sims 2 in August 2004)I could not guess how the creators descided to go out with a bang? After all, The Sims has grown to become one of the most influencial games out there, and even though this is not the end, it still marks the end of the beginning... so they HAD to go all out right?With the introduction of magic spells amd creepy worlds, Makin magic is by far "going out with a bang" Speaking as someone who has bought The Sims, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation, Unleashed and now Makin Magic (I am hoping to add Superstar to my collection this week and I will probably cave in and buy Livin Large before The Sims 2 comes out)I will tell you that this game will add a new dimension to your Sims experience.
There's an all new town -- Welcome to Magic Town where you can find all your Magic Needs-- as well as participate in Duels and Put on Magic preformances (amoung Many other things)If you get enough MagiCoins you can even move into one of the eerie Magic Town lots... Just like living in a regular neighborhood.. except the neighbors are freaky and wierd stuff is ALWAYS happening (I cant even tell you the stuff that's magically grown on my lot)
There's also the ability to cast spells. Want to turn that neighbor into a frog? (watch out he may get to you first!) want to MAKE the love of your life love you? Or atleast be friends? Want to make a spell to turn you into a 'Beauty or a Beast'? How about a zombie spell? Want to turn that garden knome into a gardener or that plastic flamingo into an exotic dancer? This is all possible as is almost ANYTHING in Makin Magic.
You can even own a pet dragon! But beware.. if you mistreat him at any time your house will turn into a raging inferno!
These new objects-- Characters-- Skins-- It's all there for your enjoyment! This is bound to occupy you until The Sims 2 is released!
Customer Review: Fun for the whole family

I thought this game was supposed to be cool. I look back and it's 9.99. Now it's 24.99. Can't you people ever keep it to one price? You change it every day. Keep it at 9.99. Or some other number. It's annoying when you look at the 9.99 price and you see that you have enough, so you decide to order it tommorrow. But the next day, it's 24.99 and you have to save up enough money still. And you have Shipping and Handling to pay still!!!!Customer Review: Best Pack Yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the Sims Makin' Magic is the best pack that Maxis has made. In the original game and the other packs, it was basically all the same. Wake up, eat, shower, go to work, eat, watch tv, call a friend, go to sleep with maybe a vacation or date in there or something. But, in MM, it's like a whole different world! Spells, potions, charms, dragons, and for the first time ever in The Sims, actual competitive games. The duels with the magic ingredient vendors are something totally different then any other element of the game. Also, unless you know the cheats (which every one does), in the original you have to play by the rules. In MM, the rules are bent and stretched which is very different. Another change is that Sims can actually live in another "town." If you earn enough MagiCoins, you can move into a Creepy Hollow lot which is right in Magic Town! It's really cool, you even get a different mailbox and trashcan and your road isn't paved! But, ok, back to all the changes in the game, there's still more! Yet another change is that there's different buy and build mode music for when you're in Magic Town or Creepy Hollow. I think that's because listening to the same creepy songs is really dull. There's more to discuss, but this could take all day. I like all the changes and hope you will too. I think the game has a whole new feeling and gave the original some spice. I totally recommend this pack to anyone who loves the original and the other packs but is ready for a change.Customer Review: listen up
