Sims Life Stories Computer Game

Pros: Lower computer spec requirements, familiar interface, portable Sims!

Cons: None really. If you understand the premise, you'll enjoy the product.

The Bottom Line: This game is a great introduction to The Sims 2, or a nice diversion for your laptop.

Review: First of all, let me say that it is very difficult for me to bypass anything that Maxis publishes. It is a sort of symbiotic relationship for me. They make Simulation games and I buy them.

When Life Stories first came out, I actually was...

Pros: Lower requirements, laptop friendly, smooth graphics, FUN.

Cons: Stories weren't as interesting as I thought they would be.

The Bottom Line: Either you like your Sims game simpler or you're new to The Sims, get this game.

Review: Most of the reviews of The Sims: Life Stories found on the net are always comparing the game to Sims 2, and most end up in TSLS looking bad in comparison. So let's take a different approach, and look at it as the separate game it is.

First...

Pros: Shortcut Key Menu, runs better on lower end pcs, and adds a new story

Cons: Nothing noticable new and one neighborhood

The Bottom Line: Nothing worth buying because it doesn't bring anything new to the table enough to be priced for $40

Review: I have to admitt I was very excited about getting this game, mostly because I thought it would bring a new experience to the world of the sims. Sadly, I was very disappointed at my purchase. However; before I list my cons, I will start with the...

Pros: faster loading

Cons: not as much to do

Review: I have completely abandoned my sims 2 games because of the stories. I find the smaller window so much more convenient and the game runs so much faster.
