5 Stars SIMS IS GREAT
Sims is a great game. People have there own opinions. I would have to say, you need time to kill when playing this game, but this expansion pack is great because it adds a new life age to the kids growing up and you can move them to the university. its great.

5 Stars Toga… toga… TOGA… TOGA!
With the University expansion pack, our old friend, Sims 2, goes to an all new, strange place: college.

There’s a lot of new stuff added to the game with this pack. Heck, it’s practically a game all on its own! You get a new life-stage for your Sims (young-adult), new aspirations (including ones like “First Woo-Hoo!”), eleven majors your Sim can pick from, fraternities, dorms, campus hang-out spots, places where you can work part time, all new gizmos and doo-dads, etc, etc!

Best of all, when you graduate and your Sim enters the working world, they will almost certainly be hired at the fourth or fifth level of their career! Plus you’ll already have a great many skills (especially if you raised your Sim from an infant), and friends, so once you get out into the “real” world, you should have no problem advancing.

There’s no down side at all to this game (well, except for the fact that I’ve never managed to get my Sim into a frat or sorority. Probably because, like me, they’re pretty anti-social. I am a gamer, after all). There’s all the usual Sims elements we know and love plus all the extras! A total win for “Sims 2″ players everywhere!

5 Stars Awesome & Addicting
I must say this game is extremely addicting…and after selling my pc and getting myself a macbook I will have to say I don’t regret it at all!! it runs smooth and fast!

5 Stars LOVE IT
I am always happy to buy any of THE SIMS games from amazon. I am on a MAC they are not easy to find in a store but you can always find them here. I own all the SIMS 2 expansions and single stories, it is my favorite game for the computer, this one is awesome you get elevators and you go to college, you can make a frat house, go to the campus get a cell phone, a mp3 player, really really a fun game then they all are!

5 Stars Does it work on intel based macs?
I love the sims 2 even though I only have one expansion pack which is PETS. I want to get university horribly bad but on he cover it doesent have the little universal ensignia on it, unlike some of the other expnsions such as PETS, OPEN FOR BUSINESS, and SEASONS. that ensignia means that the game works on intel chip based macs. So yet this problem leaves me sitting like a hopeless computer idot. please comment back!!

2 Stars Not for me
The shape of the mouse was at odds with my hand. Felt a very uncomfortable “pressure” on the hand after 15 minutes using it. Tried to get used it, but couldn’t shake off the bad feeling. So I returned it. Took a Death Adder instead, didn’t regret it. The Death Adder has a perfect shape for me. You should definitely try this before you buy.

The driver software interface is ridiculously ugly (but that’s true for all Razr products…).

5 Stars Razer Lachesis
The razer lachesis is pleasant a reprieve from the last razer product I purchased (lycosa keyboard). The people on here either bought too nice of a mouse, or don’t know how to read the manual. I am a high end gamer, that plays games at very high resolutions and am very satisfied with my purchase. This mouse is perfect if you have the right surface to use it on. You want a hard surface, preferably a razer mousepad. I have the razer exactmat and I love this mouse. If you have that, this mouse performs beautifully. The only thing that i could see causing a problem is the fact that the mouse is a little big for some people’s hands. The mouse definetly takes some getting used to, but once you calibrate it right, and can fully utilize it, it is amazing. It is by far the best mouse i have ever owned. If you aren’t an idiot and can calibrate the mouse right and accept the learning curve of how to use it, this is the mouse for you.

Pros:

Excellent smoothness in mouse strokes

Lighting on it is second to none

Many programmable buttons

on the fly sensitivity

Very precise

Cons:

Too sensitive if you don’t have the sense to calibrate it

Price is very expensive

Don’t believe all the morons that have reviewed this mouse, look at the review of the razer lycosa that I tore up, and believe me when i say this is a fine piece of equipment. I’m not just a razer “groupie”

5 Stars Awesome Mouse!
This mouse is awesome. I bought it as a christmas gift for someone and they absolutely love it. They said it’s super fast and flawless. It was definately a great investment.

1 Star NOT a gaming mouse, unless you’re a noob.
I’m 23 and I’ve been playing games as long as I can remember and have owned many other high end mice, especially other Razers. So when a mouse has flaws, I know it.

First and foremost, the left and right click buttons are so hard to click, that no matter how good you are, the mouse moves when you click them (unless have your mouse set on 800dpi and your sensitivity on 2/10 or something else ridiculously low, in which case you should be using a $12 mouse from walmart anyways).

Try shooting something when your mouse moves involuntarily every time you click the button. Try clicking a small dropdown menu. Try clicking a particular line in a document. It’s all the same, guaranteed the pointer will jump up 1 line above what you intended to click on.

This problem can be solved by using the mouse on a surface that has zero squish, because then when you have to use all your muscle to literally mash in the buttons, the surface will not flex and cause the mouse to move. Even Razer’s own mousepad, the Destructor, with it’s cheap foam backing and ridiculous $40 price tag, squishes too much. This leaves you 2 options, an Icemat glass mousepad, which is like playing on a piece of sandpaper because of the rough sandblasted surface, or playing on your bare table, which is not a surface that this or many other mice move well on.

It’s a very comfortable mouse and looks nice, I’ll give it that. Otherwise, it has zero positives. Anyone that likes this mouse is using it on less than 1000dpi and on a very low sensitivity setting and guaranteed is not playing any real games (Halo, CounterStrike, etc).

I play on a Windows mouse speed of 10, 4000dpi, and 7 in the Razer software. My mouse moves 1/2 inch to full screen, and I have 3 friends who play on even faster speeds than I do, so I know I’m not the only one.

My original Diamondback works better than this POS, it’s slower, but at least the buttons were easy to click and it didn’t move when you clicked them.

2 Stars Horrible version of a good mouse
I like the Razor mice, the basic ones are great, but unless you want to be the most frustrated person in the world, stay clear of this mouse. Why you ask? well I bought this mouse because of the 9 buttons. I’m a gamer, and my mouse died, so I decided to splurge and buy a nice expencive mouse that would probably last me many years. The problem, as others have pointed out, is there are 2 buttons on EACH side of the mouse. this means it’s almost impossible to click one button on one side without the presure of squeezing clicking the opposite side. These constant missclicks can be overcome by a lot of practice im sure, but take it from me, unless you really need 9 buttons for whatever reason, buy a different mouse. Again, the standard razor is pretty cool.
