    Even the addition of crazy new Social moves like Break Dance and Booty Tease make interactions with other Sims much more fun than they were in previous titles.

    The game is awfully short (it takes only six to seven hours to complete), and the multiplayer does little to extend its replay value. [Oct 2003, p.63]

    The three hours or so it took me to finish were incredibly fun, with not one ounce of tedium or monotony anywhere to be found - a rarity these days. [Jan 2003, p.64]

    The game actually generates emotions: fear of the unknown, an impending sense of dread, and utter confusion due to the mind-bending plot. [Jan 2004, p.56]

    I figured there was no way that the gameplay could be as good as the graphics. It didn't take long for BG to prove me wrong. [August 2002, p.52]

    Strikes a near perfect balance of fun and realism, and it should be on any baseball fan's must-try list. [May 2003, p.50]

    Newbies may be shocked at the strategy and planning this game requires, but they'll most likely enjoy the quick learning curve, thanks to Ghost's user-friendly interface. [Sept 2003, p.60]

    A great collection of classics, but not inventive enough to win over non-puzzle fans. [July 2003, p.49]

    Frustrating at times. Restarting a level 38 times before you beat it makes it hard to look upon the experience fondly, after all. [Oct 2003, p.57]

    There's an awful lot to play through, and regardless of any quirks, the thing caused me to have a damn good time whenever I picked up the joypad. [Jan 2003, p.46]

    Probably the funniest new feature is the obsessed fan, who will pop up if you're not paying enough attention to your other fans... One of the best expansion packs. [Aug 2003, p.39]

    Expect Gladius to suck time in the manner of a Hoover sucking dirt - the turn-based battles are slow and poorly paced, often making a gladiator's life a wearisome one. [Dec 2003, p.66]
