Innovative, even if not very appealing
Prepare yourself for hoarding fame and connecting with other famous people all the while trying to maintain the Sims' needs fulfilled. Add in the occasional paparazzi and stalker and you've got a challenging mix to juggle, which will keep you occupied for quite some time.
Sometimes however, the fame career path feels a tad too challenging, bordering on frustrating. Twice so, considering that the annoying path-finding wasn't improved upon a bit.
Bottom line: for The Sims AND The American Idol fans only.
