Summary: A nice change
Review: Finally our Sims can leave the house! They are still confined to one lot though even downtown and you can only control one Sim at a time while they are downtown. The roommates will be there but you will not be able to do anything with them. I have also had problems getting the downtown area to run at double and triple speeds on my computer, it will only run at normal speed. It is a great expansion though and a must for Sims fans. While few of the new items can be added to your home, you do get to build great new shopping centers, clubs and restaurants in the downtown area (which is already almost completely full when you buy it, you have to delete shops to make your own in Neighbourhood 1). New elements have also been added to relationships. You Sims can now gain interest in various subjects so as to become more compatible with other Sims. They also have a lifelong friendship meter and a daily friendship meter so your relationships are not so fickle anymore. This does seem to make love relationships harder to form though as both lifelong and daily meters come into play. It is certainly a challenge for dedicated Sim players.All in all I am enjoying it and it is great for racking up those friends necessary for your promotions.

Summary: A whole new aspect to the game
Review: After 3 other expansions you'd think that EA would be running out of ideas but it's exactly the opposite. There's more of everything in Hot Date and many new things too, including new sofas stoves paintings chairs sofas EVERYTHING. Also, all ofthe funiture etc. has been arranged in a new order which makes it much easier to find what your looking for. And of course who can forget the new down town area. Build a new lot (limitless money!)down town and go to it or just go to an old one. Tons of new stuff to use down town! Make a restuarant a store a park a club a bar well you get the picture then go have your sim(s)interact w/ it which is a lot more exciting than you think. Last but definetly not least, all new interactions. From different hugs kisses insults whatever these new options make the talking part of the game much more interesting. And now you have an inventory, which is where things you buy down town are listed which you can give to someone else, amount of interset that a sim has in a topic, and a new day to day frienship bar are also plusses to the game. THIS IS A MUST BUY!

Summary: Not all that I hoped it to be.
Review: I am a true Sim lover. The game really is lots of fun, and is quite enjoyable. I was so happy when I saw that Hot Date was comming out because I really wanted to be able to have my Sims get more indepth with each other. So I asked for it for Christmas, and I was lucky and got it. It was the first thing I used that morning and loaded it into the computer. This is the first time I realized that it was taking longer to load then anything else I had ever loaded. Once loaded I jumped into the game. While I played I grew very frustrated with the sluggish way the game moved once Hot Date was added. The pictures are still great, and the added way to talk to other Sims, and to just call to talk is great, but far out weighed by the fact that it can take 3 minutes (in our time not the Sims ever fast paced life)just to get my Sim to call a friend to go downtown, and to walk to the front door. The game simply freezes as the cd-rom loads up the next thing. I am still happy to have Hot Date, but I find myself not really using it, and thinking of unloading it off of the computer. I do not think that it is worth the asking price to have something clog up your computer. The "multiple" new things you can have in the downtown area are okay, but not necessary. Knowing what I know now I would proably choose not to buy, or ask for the product. Sims Hot Date is dissapointing for this fan of the series.

Summary: You'll Love It
Review: Your sims finally get to get out of the house and explore the new downtown area. They can go out on a date to a fancy restaurant or just go to the mall and hang out. You also get a whole bunch of new interaction options such as talking about gossip or asking them how they are doing. When you kiss someone, do you want to give them a small peck or a fiery kiss? You get to choose. Make sure that your computer matches the recommendations, or it could run slow.

Summary: Fun addition for the Sims
Review: Im a big fan of the Sims so when a new expansion came out i quickly ordered it [...]. The game gives you more to do than just sit around at home. Though it is a little slower than the first games. Hot Date is definitly a must have. There are many new reactions for your sims. and you can shop in the new downtown area. or send your Sims on a picnic in the park where they can smooch on a picnic blanket or play with boats. the game is really fun and is definitly worth buying.
