The Sims 3: World Adventures Hands-On

by Charles Onyett

October 2, 2009 – With the release of The Sims 3 this past June, the franchise’s massive player base got the opportunity to dive into a less rigid, more open world than ever before. Judging by reviews and subsequent sales, pretty much everyone is happy with what Electronic Arts did to push the franchise forward while maintaining the key elements that make The Sims such a distinct gaming experience. It’s true when you say there really isn’t anything else like it.

How EA cashes in on all this success is no secret – by releasing an avalanche of expansion packs. The world of The Sims 2 was officially expanded upon eight times in three years, and the first in what we can assume will be a long chain of releases tied to The Sims 3 is coming this November. Called World Adventures, the expansion will of course enhance the virtual doll house appeal of the game with tons of new items and collectibles, but also offer players the opportunity to travel to China, Egypt, and France to dig through dungeons for treasure.

The Sims 3 World Adventures – Exclusive Hands-On

We don our khaki trousers and pith helmets and get our hands on the first expansion pack for The Sims 3.

If you’re not familiar with The Sims, well…where have you been? Seriously. The hugely popular series of games lets you take control of self-aware little computer people as they live, love, laugh, and pursue their lifelong dreams while taking the occasional potty break. The most recent edition of the game was this year’s highly anticipated The Sims 3, and now, the first expansion pack, World Adventures, is on the horizon. The expansion lets your sims leave home to explore ancient ruins in one of three locations (China, France, and Egypt) while taking on new professions and collecting all sorts of new loot and achievements. We had a chance to try out a portion of an Egyptian pyramid and get a look at the new adventure tools that are being added to the Sims 3 editor, and we have much to report.
