The Sims Online: Nothing More Than a Glorified Chatroom

by jeremy1456 jeremy1456 is a Lead on Epinions in Games, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 20 '03
Pros: Extremely Addictive Gameplay
Cons: Pay To Play, Gets Old Fast
It was about 2 years ago that The Sims was released on PC and took the world by storm; there was just something about creating and maintaining your own family that drove people nuts. Personally I wasn't too excited about this game, but for some odd...

Pros: Great fun!
Cons: sometimes laggy

Pros: Easy, Fun With Friends, Good Way To Meet People
Cons: Addicting, Slow, Buggy, Strange Rules

Disappointing Business as Usual ruins The Sims Online

by JGillespie , Dec 20 '02
Pros: Virtual Life in every detail, some humor
Cons: Too money-oriented, immature player base, obnoxious Sim reactions, tedious gameplay
The Sims Online is a veritable exercise in boredom lovingly and carefully wrapped in fun’s clothing by Maxis and EA, two companies that have struggled to make this a great online experience but have, for the most part, failed at creating the kind of...

The Sims Online - Magnificent Idea, Poor Execution.

by sandyfl , Apr 12 '03
Pros: Being Someone Else: A Great Idea, Anonymous Socializing, Graphics & Sound Top Notch.
Cons: Economy System Self-Defeating, Dubbed "Glorified Chat Room" by many. No game speed options equals boredom.
The Sims and all of it's expansion packs has become an icon, a level to which many programmers have yet to aspire, a true giant in the pc game industry. The demand has become so great as to inspire release on the Xbox and Playstation 2 systems as well....

The Next Big Thing

by elbarto69 , Dec 07 '02
Pros: Provides a whole new look on the concept of "chatting."
Cons: It will be buggy at first, as most games are.
First, the facts: The Sims is the single greatest selling game in the history of the PC. Electronic Arts, who bought Maxis, the company behind the SimCity franchise and The Sims, put forth $25 million according to Gamespot.com to make this game. And...

The Sims Online is a whole new dimension to life!

by susanhop2 , Feb 28 '03
Pros: The play time lasts forever. Allows creativity. Promotes friendships.
Cons: Encourages behavior that may not be acceptable in real life.
I absolutely love this game. I bought The Sims Online because I enjoyed the other Sims games so much. I am not an outgoing type of person, so this game was a little intimidating for me at first. But not to fear, I was able to build my own house on my...

One word: Wow.

by idgit7 , Feb 12 '03
Pros: Create your own games, give out money for jobs people create ANYTHING!
Cons: Takes some time, if you have free time, I suggest it.
Another word: Christmas. Yes, I got this on Christmas morning, I asked for it from my parents. I pop in the game in the drive, it makes me register. 10 dollars a month. Oh no, 10 dollars a month for this?!?!?!? NO WAY!!! But guess what? First month...

A work in progress...

by drmatthew , Feb 22 '03
Pros: Addicting, Fun, Feature Packed, Easy To learn.
Cons: Familiar Sim Game Issues, Still in testing faze.
Yes, another success for Maxis! The Sims Online is not necessarily what I thought it would be, but all in all it is a welcome addition to both the Sim game family and the Online game family. Be prepared though, even if it is based on The Sims, they are...
