    This game is OK. The only thing is that in real life you don't have 2 controll your wife, kids ,or roomate. Also it's way 2 hard.

    I've never played the sims before but have found this an absorbing although often frustrating game! if you don't mind having to work your brain a little then give this game a try! its a grower!

    It shows the reality of living a proper life but remember this game is not reality.

    Everything the PC version was and more. With pleasing graphics and all new modes of play, you’ll find that there’s a whole new meaning to the adage, "get a life."

    A word to the wise - saving your game takes 60 blocks, which means that you're going to need a big motha' memory card. [May 2003, p.87]

    If you’ve got a PC lying around then you’re better off with the PC version, but The Sims on GameCube is still a mind-blisteringly good game if judged on its own merits.
