Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Sims fans thoroughly enjoyed this new expansion pack that lets them live the lives of the rich and famous. Your Sims can be movie stars, rock stars and supermodels in the game's new studio town location. For the first time ever, players can follow their Sims to work in movie lots, spas, recording studios and other places stars hang out. They may even run into a "real" star or two, like Christina Aguilera or Marilyn Monroe. The Sims can now take mud baths, get massages and visit oxygen bars. 150 new items include a skydiving simulator, a music studio, a karaoke stage and a satellite dish. As usual, the game gets a Teen rating for comic mischief, mature sexual themes and mild violence.Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have been called "Dorothy's Cheap Mini-Games", June 6, 2003

By

The voice of Dorothy the Dinosaur provides instructions as you navigate around an island-shaped menu of 8 mini-games. Unfortunately, the games themselves (Tic-Tac-Toe, simple jigsaw puzzles and mazes, etc.) are very short, unimaginative and look cheap. They are of the quality that you can easily find for free on websites like Nick Jr., Playhouse Disney, or PBS Kids.

One of menu options isn't even a game at all - it's just 3 short clips from the "Wiggle Bay" video. Another game where you water four of Dorothy's flowers, is actually quite frustrating -- each plant starts dying if you remove the water for more than a split-second, so the only way to get them all to bloom is to be in a ridiculous constant motion.

And besides those three video clips, the Wiggles themselves are barely present at all in the game. Comic-book-style renderings of their faces appear on the screen, and you'll hear an occasional "Hi I'm Jeff" or "You're very good at this game", but Dorothy is the voice who provides all the instructions.

Overall, a very disappointing product.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, May 30, 2003

This is not high quality software.The program is slow and to simple even for my 18 month old daughter.I have a top of the line Gateway computer,and I have never seen anything move as slow as this.She loves the Wiggles so I feel we got are moneys worth she can look at the one of the three videos included in the software ( they are only small pieces). I thought we would get a better program with Disney names on the product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money!, August 21, 2003

By 

Jennifer "Mom Of One" (Florence, KY United States) - See all my reviews

Trust me when I say, don't waste your money, this game is not worth it no matter how much of a Wiggle fan your child is. My son is a huge fan so I got this for him thinking it would be the perfect thing to introduce him to the computer. After we played each game just one time he was bored and wanted to get down to go play and that isn't like him when it comes to anything dealing with The Wiggles, he eats, breathes, and sleeps The Wiggles.
