AtomicGamer brings us the one new The Sims 3 Generations review today, rating it eight out of 10:

With its reputation system and life stages, Generations is a solid, if not stellar, expansion. Its features are more subtle than those of previous expansions, being more behavioral than item-oriented and because of this, gamers looking for a slew of new locations or a truckload of new furniture are likely to be disappointed.

Two new The Sims 3 Generations reviews today, starting with El33tonline who rated it a “Good!” three stars out of five:

If you are a Sims fan this expansion will surely be of great appeal and I can recommend it for all the little, nearly imperceptible changes. Everyone else should wait for the Sims 3 Complete Collection Chest and install it all at once.

GameSpot rated it a “fair” 6.5 out of 10:

Glitches aside, Generations adds entertaining moments to a franchise that turns routine duties, like taking showers and tossing salads, into compelling delights, but these new moments are too infrequent and unexceptional to justify the high price tag.

StrategyInformer brings us the latest The Sims 3 Generations review, rating it 7.5 out of 10:

As we said, on its own Generations isn’t going to do much for your experience, but in conjunction with everything else it just makes for a more interesting experience. The Sims 3 was always going to be a long term investment – and this is just one more step on the road.

GamesRadar brings us the latest The Sims 3 Generations review, rating it a “decent” six out of 10:

But what’s there doesn’t always feel like enough to justify this full price of an expansion pack, especially when so much has been added in past products. Unless you’re desperate to add a little life to your sims’ youth, you might be able to pass on this one.

The review contains five new screenshots, which you can also view over on the game page if you prefer.
