It’s been a while, but I’ve finally got another The Sims 3 Showtime review for you — Gaming Nexus has given it a B- grade:

Although it comes packed with several new career paths  and a brand new town, Showtime is really still just a  few more goodies in the Sims universe. Good for fans,  but won’t win over any converts.

Somewhat surprisingly, IGN has still not reviewed it, when they were one of the first to review all previous expansion packs. Anyway, the Metascore at Metacritic has gone down another point since last time to 71 (“Mixed or average reviews”), based on 13 reviews.

Two The Sims 3 Showtime reviews tonight. Firstly, El33tonline gave it “Good!” rating of three out of five:

The game has changed a lot since the original was  released, but in many ways has become so complex that  simply getting a Sim through his day to day routine  becomes very hard and tedious. When Real Life™ beckons  it just becomes harder and harder to focus on your Sims’ life.

And secondly, Rocket Chainsaw rated it seven out of 10:

It’s familiar, comfortable and as traditionally  expansive as you’d expect, for better or worse. Those  still holding off from jumping on The Sims hype train  won’t be sold by this expansion pack and are better off  waiting for The Sims 4, but for everybody else  dangerously addicted to living virtual lives you can’t  go wrong with more fun for everyone.

Today’s The Sims 3 Showtime review comes from NZGamer.com, who rated it 7.5 out of 10, a rating described as “Good”:

Although a lot of the new content is pretty fun, unlike  some of the best expansions, Showtime doesn’t feel  particularly integrated with the rest of the Sims world,  an aspect I always look forward to when I get a new  expansion.

The Metascore at Metacritic remains 73 (“Mixed or average reviews”), but now based on seven reviews.

I have a couple of The Sims 3 Showtime reviews for you today. First, Metro has rated it six out of 10:

Not the best expansion for The Sims 3, but still one  with some fun new extras and interesting ideas – many of  which hint at a new direction for the series.

Second is Digital Spy, which gave it three stars out of five:

The Sims 3: Showtime is another solid addition to the  fold. With this being EA’s sixth add-on to the game,  fresh ideas are beginning to look thin on the ground  with concepts from previous packs re-emerging. That  said, Sims fanatics will always be hungry for new  content, so there’s no reason why this won’t be another  roaring success.
