The Sims Superstar
Sam returns to his arch-nemesis The Sims in search of stardom.
Aha, another installment in the computer-game equivalent of Police Academy. Now I am duty bound to write more than fifty words on this new expansion pack for the bafflingly popular Sims but you are in no way required to read the whole review, so you can skip on down to the last paragraph if you so choose.
Okay, for those of you still here I am going to be brief and shall try to make this as enjoyable as possible. I'm in Florida at the moment and so obviously have better things to do than write about EA's latest ruse to separate people from their money, and I'm sure y'all can think of something else you'd rather spend the 2-6 minutes it would take to read a normal sized review, (think away, I can't be arsed for there's a steak on the barbie).
Sims Superstar is what, the fifth, sixth udder to be attached to the cash-cow that is the Sims. In this stellar new adventure you can take your Sims to new heights, scaling the slippery cliff of celebrity till your eyes bleed or sanity makes a return. There are three new career paths to choose from; you can propel your Sim into the worlds of either the movie star, pop-artist or fashion. Wow, get to turn a bunch of pixels into a better looking bunch of pixels. Anyway, there is a new experience bar to fill up, the 'fame' bar, represented by a rising grade of half-stars, up to the full five-star treatment. Which leads me to a digression, where's the bands? I want to be Five-Star, not One-Star; get the mansions, the cars, the bad accountants and then degenerate into a pathetically sad has-been, eyes rolling in the head like the empty champagne bottles used to do beside the Jacuzzi, back when we 'wiz famous. Unfortunately, like all of the Sims games, this is living of the most sterile kind, so there's no dealer option on the telephone and your model alter-ego doesn't vomit all over the place. If you could snort virtual Charlie and shag virtual groupies then I might give this a chance. But seeing as none of the things that real celebrities do, hell, the very things that people want to become celebrities for, are available to the player, my interest is, understandably, low.
Instead the player is wooed with the prospect of actually being able to follow their Sims to work for the first time - there's more than twelve new social interactions, three new locations corresponding to each career path and oodles of new doo-daas to plaster all over your fake home and office. You can drive around in limos! Hire butlers! Win Awards! Yes this is a big expansion, I'll give it that. The thing even comes on two discs, has an annoying install glitch on XP and even gives you the joyous option of installing AOL 8 on your computer. One full package I tell you, probably the best value expansion to the Sims so far. Probably not the last though, unless there's only three months until Sims the second is released.

Great, just what the world needs - another Sims game.
I agree Jason...sick of addons for this game...then we have to put with The Sims 2 when that comes out.
köö
I really hate the Sims games, they should stop making them they suck!
I don't see why someone who obviously greatly dislikes the Sims and who apparently had better things to do than to write any type of review, is being made to publish a review for this game at all.
Yes, the game is a lot more complicated than the original, but all the little snide remarks are not what someone who is considering purchasing the game needs to read. It's really quite opinionated.
I hope you enjoyed your steak, after ripping apart a game that you had no interest in, in the first place.
You don't like it? Then you don't have to read it...
Seems pretty simple to me
the sims is cool
This game is excellent. Since i'm ugly and will never become a Superstar, i have fun making up i am...
I luuv it!!!
Right, I used to really enjoy the sims, but surely there is some sort of limitation to how many they can make.
This is something like the 987th edition and is really a bit of a flop. Sure, in theory its great, but add up how much money you've wasted on this load of crap - and is it worth it? I know people who have paid £100 on the Sims games and after two weeks, they're bored. The only good thing about these games is seeing what the next sequel will be!
After I install Sims Superstar, I try to start it, but it just won`t play. It saids that I`ve got wrong CD. What should I do? Help, please!
i bought sims game third time because whenever i try to open the game it will be written that cd is copywrighted.even though i have the original version.please do something

Listen, as far as all of the posters that left bad remarks. DO BUY OR PLAY THE DAMN GAMES! And certainly don't add to any forum. If we all wanted any lip off you, we would check your (Use one that applies) momma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles zipper. Peace

What does one have to do in order to become a model
is there a cheat that makes your sim a super star with out all the work, and is there a cheat that raises your sims skill levels like logic, creativity, and all that stuff and is there a cheat that keeps your sim satified or happy all the time
;(
i would really like 2 play a demo of the sims so i can c if i want 2 buy it plz put out a demo
Ok. Here's the thing: some of you people are obsessing over the game. Others, however, are obsessing over hating the game. If you don't want to be obsessed, then shut up. Oh, and it's not that bad of a game. Not the best, but if it helps losers feel good about themselves...
Sims r only for boring people,everyday same old thing.
The sims is just a great idea and a fun game. If you think it has 2 many add ons just look at Half Life, THE greatest game in me opinion. Great games need many addons!!! :-D

No demos have ever been released for the sims (any version) so stop asking for the demos. In the sims all expansions you can become a superstar, by either working the old fashion way or just making a charm. Thats the easiest way. If you sims game doesnt work you need pentium 4 and windows xp for it to work.
I LOVE SIMS
Hmm...Could somebody tell me were I can download Sims Games?? :-)
