    Game Rating (7.5): This is simply the PC version of The Sims 3 squashed into a console version with less elements, choices, and options. Less actions equals smaller score. But still a must get for anyone without a computer cause it's still worth it.

    Even if i think it is very fun for all the creation that it's offering us, the sims 3 doesn't offer something to keep me playing. You live a life with small money for too long.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sims 3 is rather a great game for those who are creative. It lets players build houses, make sims (as of the title), etc. The game itself explains it all but, I have a to point out the flaws.

    (1) It has way too much loading screens, unlike the PC version where it's just lags a bit before going to the next area

    (2) It boring after a while (maybe it's just my attention span)

    (3) It's bit hard to control with.

    Despite this, it's a decent game I spent hours playing with so, give it a whirl.    … Expand

    The long-running series' third outing makes the leap to consoles with style. It's impressive how EA have managed to cram in almost every aspect of the PC game, without having to make any notable compromises. The controls take some getting used to, and the game frequently has to load, but Sims-fans will be happy to know that this is the best console-outing the series has offered yet.

    At last: a console version of The Sims without a crappy control scheme. The Sims 3 may be not as extensive and flawless as the PC version, but is still a nice translation of the original concept that made The Sims great in the first place.
