4.0 out of 5 stars worth it, August 20, 2006

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack (DVD)

so, i go through phases with the Sims. the advent of Sims 2 pulled me in yet again, and i finally splurged for University. have to say, it was worth it.

you can pull teenage sims from your main game and send them to college, or you can develop your own sims in the university mode. you can build your own university, you have an "influence" meter that encourages you to develop your sim's social skills in order to exert more influence over others, and (while never enough) the new objects/building add-ons are fun.

hardware-wise, i'm running on a iMac G5, and the game (while slow-ish to load) runs perfectly. as usual, though, when in a community lot the game tends to be a bit sluggish.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack (DVD)

I was skeptical about buying Sims 2-University at first, because of its price. I read a couple of reviews about the game, and they all liked it. I thought, "Hey, why not?" So I started playing it at my friends house, and I got hooked! I just couldn't stop playing! College life is so fun on the Sims 2- University. It adds an extra 24 days to your sim's life span (Young Adult), giving you a chance to build up skill points and relationships with other sims. Also, if your sim graduates, you unlock 2 more wants, and 4 new diploma-only jobs! They pay MUCH better at first than regular jobs. All in all, it was great! I'm saving up to buy it, and can't wait until I have enough to buy it!

This review is from: The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack (DVD)

This game is amazing, and it works perfectly on my MacBook. Not only are the graphics up to par, but the loading time... wait, what am I talking about? There is barely any loading time! I went to go get some cereal, and when I got back, it was already sitting there, just waiting to be played!

Also, I'm one of those players who go and download re-colors and other objects that fans make for the game, and I've added a lot so far, but the game still works perfecty.

Basically, this is what consumes most of my 24 hours! :D
