Summary Of Kevin Vanord's Review Of The Sims Medieval

Kevin VanOrd’s review of The Sims Medieval was descriptive and to the point. If I were a gamer I would expect the level of detail that is given throughout his review. Because I am not a gamer, I appreciated the continued comparisons to other Sims games. While VanOrd seems to be a fan of Sims, his disappointment in The Sims Medieval is apparent. In this review he sets a negative tone right from the beginning. He states that while playing this game “You’re hearing about someone else’s grand adventure rather than having one of your own.”(VanOrd 943) While VanORD describes characters, activities, and quests that are new and initially interesting, it seems as though he is bored by the repetitiveness of many tasks and not sufficiently challenged.
