The Sims: Superstar
Review by MarsBarr887
"Great game, good job AGAIN Maxis!"
Playing the Sims Superstar for the first time was really fun, I had new items to choose from, new skins for your Sims, and best of all, a new career of fame that you can actually watch and control. Sounded like loads of fun. And truthfully, it was! But then I kept playing, and it got REALLY boring. It's a great game, but it gets kinda boring after a while.
Gameplay: 9/10
Gameplay is great! Lots of things to do, and really, that's all you need in Gameplay. Simply, lots to put your mind on.
Replay Factor: 7/10
I find after you make a family, make them successful, and make them the wealthiest family you can possibly get and doing this WITHOUT cheating, and then you think ''Now I have to do THAT again? Oh no...'' And now you're thinking why I even gave it 7? cause instead you could always make another family but doing everything wrong.... :-D
Control 10/10
It doesn't get more simple then click, and click. Also the hotkeys are really easy to get used to. Perfect controls.
Sounds 9/10
Simlish is definatly cool! If it wasn't for the repeating (i'll explain in a sec) then it would be 10/10. What I mean by repeating is no matter what their talkin about, they'll say the same thing ''uben wabafa? iben rolly babu wabenaba!'' GIMME A BREAK! lol
Music 10/10
I absolutely love the music. Nothing better than classical music in the background when you're choosing furniature for your Sims. :-)
Graphics 5/10
Same ol', same ol'. For 3 years there hasn't been an update. They may not be THAT bad, but if they don't update the graphics even a LITTLE, the mark will keep going down, and down, and down. And the graphics may be OK, but that's all they'll EVER be, OK. 5/10 I know you think it should be more like maybe 6 or 7 or maybe even 8 but no, I believe it's 5.
Glitchiness/bugs 3/10
There are LOTS of those. And I mean LOTS. For every game there will be 20 different glitches and they'll all have 10 of the same. That's not good. Cause for 20 different glitches a game, with over 100 million copies sold, uuuuhhhhhh... u can do the math here.
Yes, or No?
Even though Some of the marks are low, the gameplay is what REALLY counts, and the gameplay in this case is HIGH. Though I did add up the marks evenly, which made it lower, it REALLY is a good game.
