    A fun game and something that feels almost like the full experience on the go, but with the amount of bugs and some of the missing features, it does feel a bit baron and typical EA. However for what it does it's not bad and you're at least getting a better experience than The Sims 3 launch title.

    Also here's an interesting thing, same sex romance and woohoo, which was missing in

    A vast improvement and by far the closest recreation of the PC version on handheld. [Christmas 2011, p.79]

    Far too expensive for what it is. [Dec 2011, p.73]

    While EA released its predecessor only half-baked, it's come through with The Sims 3 Pets and created a quality life simulator that's still mystifyingly amusing and addictive, now with the added cuteness of playing as dogs and cats, though it might not grab you like it did ten years ago.
