As expected for a pirate-themed expansion, gamers will be take shovel to sand in an effort to uncover underground loot. Avians also serve an additional function- scouting the location of buried treasures.

Abandoning the openendedness of metropolitan life for a series of gratifying role-playing quests, Medieval rescued the series from suburban malaise, delivering both an intriguing setting and satisfying sense of direction. Smartly, The Sims Medieval corrected that complaint by transporting players to the Middle Ages. I’ll admit I have never quite understood the allure of watching a virtual persona shower, sleep, or perform any of the other tedious tasks which occupy the average person’s waking hours. Despite its overwhelming popularity, the Sims series has largely shunned the incredible, by providing a broad simulation of the mundane. From throwing a Superbowl winning pass in Madden NFL to flaunting the capoeira prowess of Tekken’s Eddy Gordo, the medium’s ability to deliver vicarious thrills is unrivaled. As it best, gaming allows players to experience the extraordinary.
