Urbz: Sims In The City Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Urbz: Sims in the City is one of the most enjoyable Sims games I have played in a long time. The Urbz provided me with an excellent gaming experience, with an astounding background story behind it. This game could have been better in some ways, but other than that, its a good game. You live in a small town called Miniopolis, thats trying to get taken over by an old rich guy named Daddy Bigbucks. During the game you have to do various missions to stop him, and these missions can go from easy, to unbelievably hard. Here's some pros and cons that I've conducted from the game...

Pros:

1. Pretty Realistic. Your Urb will have to eat, sleep, use the restroom, shower, and have a good time to keep going. All restroom and shower scenes are blocked, so there is nothing too inappropiate. If you don't eat or sleep, your Urb will pass out, or if you don't use the restroom in time, you will end up "doing your business" wherever you are at the time. Also, towards the beginning of the game, you will have to work to get your pay, and your house will get broken into if you do not pay for security. You can make friends, and lose friends, or just decorate your house with furniture.There's also Rep Groups, like there in real life. Richies, Streeties, Nerdies, and Artsies inhabit the town you live in, and you will have to choose what rep group you want to be in.

2. The Furniture. Theres a good variety of furniture that you can buy in the game. You can get things like DJ Turntables, or smoothie machines.

3. Create-A-Pet. Towards the end of the game, you are able to create your own pet by splicing DNA. You can create things from T-Rex's to Jackalopes, all depending on how well you splice.

Cons:

1. Always having to rush off to the restroom, or having to sleep can get annoying if you need to get your relationship with someone up to a certain level.

2. Graphics could be better. Seriously, this game looks like it was from the GBA! The Graphics could have been in actual 3D to push the DS's capabilities, but sadly, this isn't the case.

3. There is LOTS of reading. I didn't have trouble with this, but some younger kids might have trouble understanding the dialogue.

Overall, I rate this game a 4.5 out of 5. This is an enjoyable Sims game that is fun for teenagers, and adults. Happy Gaming! :)

Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well...I had this version of Roller Coaster Tycoon for my old Windows and when I got my new puter with Windows XP a couple of years ago...much to my chagrin, my Roller Coaster Tycoon did not transfer.
I had gotten this for my son to play, and he is now grown and gone.We tried other versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon...but really none were as fun as the original one.
Once he left...I had empty nest syndrome pretty badly.I looked in the stores for the original version of RCT to see if they had made it compatible with Windows XP and could not find it.But I was told it might be available online...and I was delighted when I found it on Amazon.
I ordered it and have enjoyed it immensely.I love Evergreen Gardens and I play it through and accumulate alot of money on it, then flatten it and make a Serenity Garden where I can make banners with Scriptures and everything.I make just a few rides that I really enjoy watching the workings of and then open my Serenity Park for a low fare and watch the little kids come and play in my low key Amusement Park.
I set all the rides on maintain every 10 minutes and I have plenty of maintenance men, so even the coasters rarely crash.I am a very non violent person and I don't like that feature in the scenario, so I pretty much edit it out in the way I run my parks.
It is fun for this older gal to see the kiddies play and it is a drift of imagination that seems pretty harmless to me.I just try to limit my time, so I am only truly using it for recreation and relaxation.

Medieval II Total War Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first got this installed and running on my middle-of-the-road system I was expecting it to be a chugging, slow mess. I was happily surprised to find that except for battles against larger cities or against thousands of foes, it runs just fine. I have yet to have a crash, something which in thisday and age of "shove it out the door broken and patch it later" game releases is to be commended.

The graphics are beautiful but are not the amazing leap forward like occurred from Medieval 1 to Rome. Think of it more as putting an extra coat of shiny polish on your car. The effects of firing flaming arrows and the pageantry of heraldric colors on the knights and other troops are beautiful to watch. The little movies showing events like weddings and your assassins' antics are often genuinely hilarious (until you've seen them all 100 times). But all that is also just eye candy, there's very little NEW here that wasn't in Rome. Also, the medieval setting has now been done to death in this game's predecessor and other games in the last few years and I'm praying that the next title WON'T be a remake of the original Shogun but will move the series squarely into the gunpowder age, culminating with Napoleon. Enough with the primitive and medieval weapons and tactics.

The AI has been improved marginally, but I am still attacked for ridiculously random reasons no matter the difficulty level I play on. As England I had developed into one of the largest powers on the map and Portugal inexplicably attacked me without provocation despite our neutral relations (not "poor" or "abysmal", mind you) and trade rights. Needless to say they were immediately squashed, but why would they even bother? This is not intelligent AI, it's just annoying AI. Alliances seem to be equally meaningless when they are made with the human and are difficult to achieve unless the AI brings it to you. I have yet to ever form one when I initiate the offer even when it would be a massive advantage to the comp.

Battle AI is more clever at using its archers as harassment and has no hesitation in squashing yours if you leave them unguarded. When outnumbered it does tend to sit there passively as one other reviewer wrote. I have nearly obliterated an entire force with archers while they just sat there in the corner before the general turned tail and withdrew.

Overall, it's a small step forward and the Rome engine is certainly beautiful to watch in action. The Total War series still is unparalleled in strategic enjoyment on both levels but the next offering in the series needs to be groundbreaking in both time period and AI complexity.
