PC Game Review: Sims 2: Bon Voyage Expansion Pack - Page 2

Players also get several item opportunities by shopping in places like the boardwalk, opening up great opportunities for different foods and culture. Shopping and gathering for wanted items like rare jewelry is another interesting feature. This ever present element even exists on the beach as vacationers can collect shells and even hunt for treasure in different locations. The options grow exponentially and raise the excitement level of your experience. For example, the volume of room service choices can real fuel each Sim’s tank for the highest possible experience. Lobster, hamburgers and even cake buffets can create a base environment where everyone can get a quick bite then quickly continue chasing their desires (except if you turn their free will off). The familiar God-like element takes a unique shift to a "make everyone happy" theme because your Sims get a new benefit for a satisfying vacation.

It's a great advantage when the successful vacation yields long lasting bonuses applicable to each individual vacationer (or apply the same bonus for all). Ultimate benefits are dispersed after your Sims return home. Make some memories with the new photo camera option, which produced pictures for display around the house or as selectable photo albums (pictures with the entire group can greatly boost the experience and your ending bonus, especially if relationships haven't been stellar lately).

Different locales and new items/actions with the same interface and game play make this installation yet another must have expansion. Not quite as strong as the previous Seasons expansion, but worthy follow-up essential for Sims fanatics and social/travel butterflies. Requires The Sims 2, The Sims 2 Special DVD Edition, The Sims 2 Holiday Edition or The Sims 2 Deluxe on PC to play.


Sims 2: Bon Voyage is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Crude Humor, Sexual Themes and Violence.
