Spore Creature Creator (Mac/PC DVD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > God and Life Sims
from: Electronic Arts

June 27, 2008
Right from the start there are significant problems using this product with several technical challenges involved in even getting the game to start properly including removing dll files from the installed game and replacing them with new ones from the spore website, never mind the infuriating habit of only adding shortuts to the Vista "game explorer" tab rather than on the desktop or in a normal menu.

Once you do get the programme to work it looks lovely however there are more challenges in store for unaware purchasers if your creature gets even slightly complex the programme hangs when you try to save it.

Looks like EA have released a barely tested excuse for a finished product, if Spore the game is this poorly executed ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > God and Life Sims
from: Electronic Arts

I love the Sims and play the game a lot. I was really looking forward to sprucing up my kitchens and baths with a makeover, sadly this is not what I got.

Very unimganative designs and boring sets, I was surprised it felt a lot less stuff than say the H&M fashion pack.

I wouldn't unload it from my game but I don't think I'll be so excited next time

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (PC)

There is nothing wrong with the graphics, or the music, nor are there any glitches that made the game unplayable, but none the less I did not enjoy this game as much as I thought I would.

Like all games, it's only really fun for a short time, but this time was very short indeed. It did, however, give me enough enjoyment to make it worth paying the small price of £3, which I do not understand at all, and only 6 months ago I payed about 10 times that price.

The Sims 2 Pets is an excellent game. You can create your very own cats and dogs to live with your sims - it's brilliant.

The Sims 2: University Expansion Pack (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > God and Life Sims
from: Electronic Arts

This game really sets your Sims life up, when you go to university you meet lots and lots of sims and you usually meet the sim of your dreams. If you study hard you can get an A+ easily. It builds you skills up, so when it comes to work for your Sims they find it easy to progress up the ladder. They can usually learn guitar and play in a band with their friends and they can also go to communtiy lots and treat themselves to gadgets (like Mp3's, handheld console's and...cell phone's!!!) You can also study at the Libarys avalible, play gigs publicly earning lots of money for it and shop till you drop!

On the other hand. The whole process is very very legnthly. It is about six days per semester. And there are four semesters alltogether. So 24 days ... Read More:

The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack (PC CD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > God and Life Sims
from: Electronic Arts

I think it's fair to say that Maxis have effectively bled the Sims 2 series dry, making a LOT of money from it. In this expansion, I believe you actually get something new.

Creating a business is probably the most rewarding experience I've ever had on the sims, and the most challenging. From managing your employees, to making sure you're not out of stock, things can get a little stressful but that didn't stop me from making a three storied furniture store!

This game is undoubtabley a challenge, even more so to the regular Sim fan. I'd only get this if you want a completely new Sims experience and are up for figuring out the kinks. Best expansion to date for the series.

The Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff (PC CD)

This game is great. Not brilliant. You get much better clothing than any other 'Stuff' packs, and if you have open for buisness you can create really jazzy buisnesses with all the H&M stuff. Overall 3/5. It lost 2 marks because it is so much better with Open For Buisness.

SimCity 4 Deluxe

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > God and Life Sims
from: Electronic Arts

A note of caution - this is a great game, but I've had problems with it falling over at random intervals. This wouldn't ordinarily be a huge problem, but there's no autosave function and with a game this engaging it's difficult to remember to save your city at regular intervals - A few times I've lost 2+ hours of progress with a crash.

My copy is fully patched, and when the game crashes it returns you to the desktop - no message, no warning, just lots of frustration.

First of all, if you havn't got good eye-sight you'll have a job trying to find the new stuff. What more can I say? No imagination has gone into this add-on at all. Robbed!
