A great start for ep series. for TS3
First, a new land to explore the included China France and Egypt.
(I'm only visited China because I have to do more homework)
It's a great thing to see a Sim travel out of Sunset Valley or River view and go to anywhere you choose.
It's like the real world (TS4 may offer plane travel)
And when you arrive, many players are looking forward to do some adventures. (as well as me)
Second, adventures. The main features for this ep is adventure.
It makes our Sims have something to do not just like TS2 Bon Voyage. Some adventures are easy to figured out, some are medium and hardly ever mind blowing but solvable(haven't play that though)
And all of adventure make our Sims' visa level going up that will make our Sims to stay for more day in each country.
And as well as new traits(Photo-eye) new skills and rewards.
I couldn't complain or comment about visual cause of my PC spec is very low.
So, Simmers buy this ep and new comers enjoy the game because the earlier version is worse than this one.
Holiday is coming. I suggest that you should buy the ep+the main game for gift.
