Summary: Invalid Serial Number
Review: To be honest, I received the game and it looks like lots of fun, however, I have had the game for several weeks and have still been unable to play it. The serial number that came with the game was invalid, I had to fax them all this information and it has been almost a week and I have not heard from them yet. :(

Summary: TSO - Not the best MMORPG
Review: TSO (The Sims Online) is a collection of cities which you choose from to create your alter-ego - a 3D avatar of yourself - and live out your life as a sim. Instead of being taken to work, you choose from a number of money lots scattered around the city and do real time work there, whilst at the same time chatting to the people in that lot.

You can also visit other types of lots to build up skills to earn more money, play a few games, and get involved in a little hanky panky in one of the romance lots. If you are feeling creative enough and have plenty of simoleans left over, you can even create your own dream home or commercial lot for other people to come round and visit.

Sadly this game evolves mostly around building up skills and finding the lots with the most people in them to earn more money. There's very little imagination put into the objects and it won't be long before repeating the same process over and over gets old. What's more the game is still under development and is missing half the interactions and items mentioned in the manual.

Overall this game has much potential once the beta testing period is over and becomes as advertised with all the interactions and items. At the moment it's nothing more than a 3D chat room with most of the players away from their computer. Users with less than DSL speeds will also find it difficult to play the game smoothly and will be faced with frequent updates that could take hours to install.

Summary: A $75.00 chatroom with very little game elements.
Review: What a con. I bought a copy for myself and as a gift for my sister as I thought it would be a neat way to keep in touch.

I can begin to convey my disappointment after playing this for the last two days.
There is very little game content and the design is no better than some of the 3D Chat places that are available for free online.

I was expecting to see downtown areas. The advertising made it sound as if there were actual jobs and business and places of exploration.
This place is either geared for the under 21 set or for uncreative types because what I saw people do was childish and just plain crass.
I am disappointed that the developers of The Sims could release such a shallow, half hearted online version.

I should have tried the playtest because if I had, I wouldn't have made such a costly mistake. I just feel fortunate I was able to return my sister's.

This is a huge disappointment. How this can be considered an actual game is beyond me.
Maxis should have just developed an multiplayer version of The Sims where people could play with their friends and family.

Summary: Subscription Chat Service
Review: Why pay for something that is free ??

THIS IS NOT A GAME.

It's an interactive screensaver with chat attached to it.

Genuine waste of money.
