IGN already posted their impressions of Nightlife from a pre-E3 show. They have now also seen the game on the floor and have posted their preview about it. In it, they start talking about the dating game. It's the biggest new gameplay element of the pack. They describe the situation with Lee picking up on a girl - two girls, in fact - and although he doesn't have much luck with the first, the second doesn't mind. The mini-game really starts when you ask someone on a date, and the date accepts. A meter will show up in the top-right corner of the screen. To fill it, you need to complete wants. Another new interaction to impress your date with is the slow dance social. Someone who has returned in the expansion pack, is Mrs. Crumplebottom. She still lives to criticise any public showings of affection. It won't stop your dates, who can eventually be going home in brand new cars. More detailed is the information that IGN gives about missing the carpool - you can actually come in late at work. For the details, head to the article.
