    Players who prefer to control a single character will happily dive deep into the whirlpool of daily grind. The rest will face a classic dilemma: stellar career or domestic bliss.

    The Sims 3: Ambitions adds just a little more depth to gameplay and fans should find enough here to keep them playing until the next expansion pack comes out.

    With The Sims 3: Ambitions fans will finally get the change of getting a job with their Sim and actually go to the 'office' with them. A more than welcome add-on for the franchise, even though the job sometimes gets a little too easy.

    New add-on comes with less adventure or interesting ideas then the previous expansion of World Adventures, but it is a nice and pleasant game experience anyhow. [Issue#192]

    Ambitions delivers plenty of content and new features to The Sims 3, and is well worth a look despite some boring and repetitive new tasks.

    The idea is excellent, but overall a weaker expansion than the first and not as exciting. [July 2010, p.98]

    This expansion will fit players who always dreamed to play with their Sims while those are at work, but it could have gone a bit further.

    The new professions are a fun idea but there aren't enough of them to justify the high asking price.

    Sims 3 ambitions is all good, new professions came very welcome, I really clung too with the profession of sculptor and researcher, the city is pretty cool and a different look, new pulls and desires, and many objects, expansion is not the best but it's nice to play ..
