Mixed Feelings About The Sims 2: Open for Business

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: Save your money. This expansion pack is unnecessary for a good playing experience.
Review: I was very excited to get this expansion pack. At first I loved it but soon it just started to annoy me. The player has the option to either run a business from a community lot or from home. I found that I could not decide which was better/worse.....

Great new options

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: Definitely a worthwhile expansion to get considering how much it adds to the game.
Review: Note: Make sure all your graphic drivers are fully updated before you play to avoid frustration later on.

I've been a hardcore Sims fan since the days of Sims 1, and I delayed getting Sims 2 for a while since I was so hooked to the...

Open for Brilliance!

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: I recommend this to anyone who loves The Sims. However, it should be aimed at an older audience than the The Sims 2 because it requires a lot of thinking.
Review: As an addicted simmer, I was very involved in the whole excitement to the release of Open for Business. I read all the info, saw all the screen shots and watched all the taster videos and was excited... and when I finally got the game it was just...

The Sims 2 OFB - Challenging and Fun

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this to any Sims player looking for more variety and challenging game play.
Review: I have been with the Sims franchise since the beginning. I own all expansions for The Sims and The Sims 2, and I eagerly await The Sims 3. I've seen the good as well as the bad, and I can confidently say Open For Business is the best.

The Sims 2 Open for Business

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2006
Review: This is probably my favorite expansion for The Sims 2 thus far. It keeps the game exciting with new features such as inventories, in which you can keep your items. (This is especially helpful when you move to a different house, because then you can...

Lets Get Down to Business

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this expansion pack for every new feature that comes with it.
Review: The Sims 2 Open for Business expansion pack adds tons of new features to your original Sims 2 game. This expansion pack comes with a whole new business community where your Sims can open their own businesses. You can buy a pre-designed store or you...

Open for business opens up a whole new aspect of playing The Sims 2

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy this expansion pack and your Sims will be in business in no time!
Review: I've been a big fan of The Sims 2 for the past two years. Yep, sad to say, but although I bought every single expansion pack that came out for the original Sims, that game has been shelved in favor of the newer incarnation with its better graphics...

The Sims 2 Open For Business Expansion Pack

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy it, for yourself or as a gift. It is worth it.
Review: As a faithful player of The Sims for years now I just had to buy The Sims 2 Open For Business Expansion Pack. I have purchased every other expansion pack so it was a must have as far as I am concerned. The Sims 2 for those of you who have played it,...
