It's time to conclude my The Sims 3 Supernatural reviews, so now is a good time to see how this expansion compares to its predecessors through the medium of Metacritic and GameRankings.

But first, I do have one last review for you -- Gametactics.com has rated it eight out of 10:

I can really only recommend this to fans of the supernatural, as the expansion completely alters the game dynamics. If that’s you, then plenty of new modes and customizations make this expansion well worth the extra dough.

The Metascore at Metacritic currently stands at 71, and there's probably not much chance of that changing much now. This is lower than the base game's 'score of 86, but this is true of all the expansion packs. This is also lower though than most of the expansion packs, with only Showtime (67) and Generations (70) getting lower Metascores. It's also lower than the 'scores attained by all The Sims 2 expansion packs.

Metacritic sources (with specific Metascores):

• The Sims 3 Supernatural (71)
• The Sims 3 Showtime (67)
• The Sims 3 Pets (79)
• The Sims 3 Generations (70)
• The Sims 3 Late Night (74)
• The Sims 3 Ambitions (74)
• The Sims 3 World Adventures (81)
• The Sims 3 (86)
• The Sims 2 University (81)
• The Sims 2 Nightlife (76)
• The Sims 2 Open for Business (78)
• The Sims 2 Pets (76)
• The Sims 2 Seasons (78)
• The Sims 2 Bon Voyage (74)
• The Sims 2 FreeTime (74)
• The Sims 2 Apartment Life (75)

The probably pretty-much-final Ranking at GameRankings is 77.12%. This is lower than that attained by the base game, but no expansion pack has exceeded that. It's higher than the Rankings attained by Showtime, Generations and Ambitions, but lower than the other three. Comparing to The Sims 2 expansion packs, this has a higher Ranking than Nightlife, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage and FreeTime, with only University, Open for Business and Apartment Life having higher Rankings.

• The Sims 3 Supernatural (77.12%)
