Two new World Adventures reviews – I had to share them with you!
The Sims 3: World Adventures further explores the series’ continued focus on performing specific tasks for specific rewards, yet offers enough new tools, items, and social interactions to please those who prefer the free-form play for which The Sims is known. From martial arts and nectar (that is, wine) making, to firetraps and puzzle solving, there’s a lot to do and a lot of playthings to muck about with. This expansion may not fix the few technical troubles that still ail The Sims 3, but it adds enough to keep your mind off the drawbacks and centered directly on the fresh and wonderful new content. In other words, Sims fans should expect plenty more sleepless nights ahead.
One of the greatest departures for the series comes in the form of the tomb exploration found in each town, turning any fledgling Sim into a veritable Indiana Jones. Inside the tombs you take direct control over your Sim to solve simple block pushing puzzles, bypass traps and discover hidden doorways. Further pushing the RPG elements, certain skill levels are needed to negotiate different hazards. Whilst not in keeping with the usual style of play found in the Sims series, the exploration and tomb raiding do offer a good change of pace and will keep you searching every nook and cranny until you discover the long lost treasures of Al Simhara.
