    Dating is another significant aspect of play added to The Sims 2, and it certainly throws in an element of challenge and intrigue to the base game.

    The good news is that it has an abundance of new features that, rather than taking over the basic goals, instead complements them. It's an expansion that actually expands on the core game, so if you're getting a little bored with the basic package it's a good bet.
  3. IGN

    Nightlife is certainly worth the money if you're the kind of player that loves the social aspect more than the house aspect of the game, but it's doesn't seem as dense an addition as "University" was.
  4. Computer Gaming World

    Wisely focuses on humankind's hedonistic tendencies, with less emphasis on acquisition and more on enjoying life outside the house.
  5. Worth Playing
    73
    A solid expansion, although I really wouldn't call it a must-have because it's a little light on content for its price tag.
  6. GamePro

    "Minor" would be the best way to describe the changes in Nightlife, and only fans will likely lay hands on this copy. Hopefully the career-based third expansion will be Sim Revolution we've all been waiting for.
  7. Computer and Video Games
    58
    There's no real added depth to the original gameplay, and behind the complex conversation options you'll find the same game you were playing before you installed the expansion. Except with more bowling. [PC Zone]

And once I get it, I'll probably play it non-stop!!! The Sims 2 is the BEST game ever (if you have a fast computer) and I watched the Sims 2 Nightlife Expansion Pack Walkthrough, and it looks really interesting, because sims now have their own cars, can go on dates, have turn ons and turn offs, have a bigger variety of clothes, more interactions and SO MUCH MORE! I definately gave it a 10.… Expand

It's the coolest, Tim Laurence is the best produser!!!!!! Really game is amazing so as his ideas, there would never be our favourite sims if not him. We all shall thank him. And besides game cost only 35 dollars that's the cheepest thing for such a cool game. He is my star.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from Russia!… Expand
