unnecessary release, but still fun

User Rating: 6.9 | The Sims: Life Stories PC
I have been playing this edition of the sims for 2 days now, but figured that this release was quite unnecessary. It seems like that (apart from some shortcutkeys and the window-mode), there isn't al lot new about the game, compared to the sims 2.

The main thing is that there is a story mode (similar to the psp version of the sims). It is quite fun that is gives you a reason to do things, but it can also be a little annoying. The visual quality is still as good as the sims 2.

Another problem was the fact that the game seems quite buggy. In two days, it crashed twice (I had to shut down my computer, because it wouldn't even let me crtl+alt+del), the game wouldn't start (nothing happened at all) and it wouldn't uninstall (nothing happened either...). Also, the speech of the sims sometimes get stuck (mmzzaaaa, mmzzaaaa, mmzzaaaa, mmzzaaaa, mmzzaaaa) until you send them to the toilet or something!

I think that I won't be playing much longer...but for people who haven't played sims 2, it's still worth it!
