The Sims: Hot Date

"It adds so much to an already great game."

With 100+ new items, a new Downtown area, and 40+ new social interactions.. Add that to the already great Sims, Livin' Large, and House Party, and get the greatest most bestest game of ALL time.

Sound 9.2/10,
I really have to say that this is the ONLY down point of the game, the elevator music that constantly plays is really annoying after a while, and so is the Sims' gibberish language, but it is really neat hearing noises like a telephone, your Sims cutting themselves with a knife, and heck, even the Love Tub noises add effect..

Game play 9.9/10,
It beats most other games, but not perfect, if I could improve it, it would be less jumpy that would make It much better, slowdowns are rare unless you have under a 500 MHz computer..

Graphics/Effects 10/10,
I do not see why the graphics on this game are always bashed; I think they are appropriate for the genre. Oh yeah, and generally when I see myself in the game, it makes it a whole lot more real! I even made my cat, MY CAT, I mean how realistic is that!!

Value 11/10, (11 is serious)
Generally when you can add such greatness to an already perfect game, you would deserve the perfect 11 out of 10, I mean come on.. With 100+ new items, a new Downtown area, and 40+ new social interactions.. Add that to the already great Sims, Livin' Large, and House Party, and get the best game of ALL time. (until Sims Online ships that is)

The balance of it all 10/10,
A perfect winner, The elevator music is sort of annoying but fitting when you're shopping, and the gibberish is making up for not having voice acting, This is like a normal Sim game, and a Maxis game, always setting up a wall to hold off other games for a couple years, then dying, The Sims will live on!! I really think that Maxis, Will Wright and the gang outdid themselves on this game, I mean making a game that can hold No. 1 for years to come, that is very scary to think about, but it does deserve it. I would say, Maxis stay alive as long as you possibly can, and ''gdklg hksdhgk jdgksd kesd hgdk gsd kghsk dskg hsdk sdkgh sdk shklf hdoah!'' (TRANSLATION: You are the best company ever to exist, keep up the good work!) as the Sims will say!
