The Sims Life Stories

"Life Stories is really made only for a very select group of people: those with PCs or laptops who want to play The Sims, but are unable to due to the minimum requirements. If you have a PC capable of running The Sims 2 and its expansion packs, get that instead. Though you give up the goal-based story mode, what you gain is much, much greater. Hopefully, EA will eventually put the story mode in an expansion pack to The Sims 2, giving PC users with powerful machines the best of both worlds."

"Regular Sims devotees might find this version a little simplistic, but for newcomers it is undoubtedly an ideal introduction to The Sims. The stories are engaging and fun, there's plenty to see and do and - best of all - in today's demand for the latest and greatest graphical fidelity, here is a quality title that easily runs on low-end PCs and laptops - perfect for those commutes to work. "

"Casuals and newcomers to the franchise alike would do best trying the core entries in the series instead, while long-time fans, curious to see what this ‘story thing’ is all about, should stick to their own imaginations."
