The Sims: Livin' Large

"A good game well worth your time."

Intro:

Maxis scores with this great, new expansion pack! Oh, hello! You are reading my review on The Sims(TM)Livin' Large! This game is possibly the best game you'll ever play, with all it's great new features and objects. This game has to be one of my favorite CD ROM games! But enough Hyping the game, onto the review!:)

Story:5

Sadly, this rating gets a 5. Primarly because there isn't much of a plot. All you do is buy or build a house, buy stuff for your sims, and either tell your sims what to do or let them fend for themselves.

Graphics:7

Typical 3D graphics. It's in some cases better than some of the games you'd find today, but not much change.

Music:9

Actually, music only plays if your sim turns on a radio, plays a piano or something has happened, but that's not the point. The point is, the music is really cool, no matter what the scenario is.

Sound:10

The sound is awesome and impeccable, whether it's the sound of a toilet flushing, your sims talking to one another, or the sound of a balloon popping, this sound quality can't be beat.

Gameplay:10

Oh geez, I don't know where to start! Well, You can get your sims to do some neat stuff, like cook, go to work, read and study for school, attack one another, all that stuff. This game pretty much revolves mostly on everyday issues, such as school and paying bills. Also, for you sick and twisted types, ways of tormenting your sims. Of course, there may be times when you get fresturated because your sim's job is wreaking havoc on it's social life, or you can't pay the bills and the repo comes and takes your stuff, but if all else fails, do what I do: CHEAT!

Overall:9

The Sims(TM) Livin' Large, is a great expansion pack, and if someone gives this game a bad review, then they obviously work for one of Maxis's rival companies. It's a game like no other and is pretty much a reality simulator(in some cases...). This game is very well worth your time, with very few flaws, most of which can be overlooked.

Borrow or Buy?:Buy

This games great quality is what makes it worth buying. If you can't afford it, then borrow it from a friend, because you can't rent CD ROM games.This conclude my review. I hope you enjoyed it.
