The Bottom Line
The walkthrough of becoming a star is helpful, but not for the price tag. If you don't have the strategy guide for the original version and are willing to spend a few bucks, you might find it useful.
Pros
- valuable info not easily discovered in gameplay
- walks through process of gaining stardom
- lists new objects and wallpaper
Cons
- 2/3 of book devoted to original version
- pricey, look for it on sale

Guide Review - "The Sims Superstar Strategy Guide"
First off, I'm tired of half the book of expansion pack strategy guides reusing the same material for the original "The Sims." It's old news for those of us who have previous guides, or have been playing for ages. Now that I got that complaint out of the way, I have a few more. There is only one worthwhile chapter in the "SuperStar" section - the walkthrough on becoming famous. After that, the book covers interactions, new objects, and other list type of information. Not that it's bad info, I just wanted more for my 20 dollars. Unless you absolutely have to have everything that deals with "The Sims" you should pass on the "Super Star Strategy Guide."
