I think it's about time I wrapped up my The Sims 3 Showtime
reviews coverage. Before that though, there's one more review, which
sadly doesn't come from GameSpot or IGN who don't appear to be
bothering this time. No, it's from Gaming Nexus, who 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.

The Sims 3 Showtime review at Gaming Nexus
As usual, I'll now compare Showtime's Metascore from Metacritic
with those of its predecessors to see how it stacks up against them.
So Showtime's probably-final Metascore is 71 -- this doesn't beat
the base game but then neither did any other expansion pack. It is
though the second worst scoring expansion, with only Generations
getting a lower score (70) -- all the others range from 74 to 81.
Comparing it to The Sims 2 expansion packs, it, along with
Generations, got a lower score than all of them, ranging as they do
from 74 - 81. Links to Metacritic along with the Metascore attained
by each game are listed below.
So that concludes my reviews coverage. With the possible
exception of any from GameSpot and IGN as they're such major
websites, I will not inform you about any more reviews here.
However, I'll still add them to the game page and mention that
change in the Latest Updates box.
