    This isnt the best sims game out there for sure. It gets pretty boring after a couple hours and its feels like a remake of any other sims game with slight improvements. Yes it is a very fun game but it wasnt enough to keep me occupied.

    This game was not as good as its counter part that is on the PC, but its a good substitute for those who play Xbox. I really like The Sims, but the problem with this game is that it has its limits. The game also has control problems and there are no mods for the Xbox which is why most play it on PC. The graphics are the same as always, the music is also the same as it has been for years.This game was not as good as its counter part that is on the PC, but its a good substitute for those who play Xbox.

The graphics are the same as always, the music is also the same as it has been for years. The thing that made this game some what cool was that there are a lot of jobs for you to have. The custom ability in this game is still the best part about this game. This games worst part however is the thing that everyone else likes, I hate the way they talk so much. I would rather read a text bubble than have to hear the other Sims just scream and yell at each other that no one can understand. For the most part, this game is ok not great but if your a fan of The Sims this is worth a look at.… Expand

    Another decent simulator from EA, and it's more in depth than ever before. The character customisation gives you lots of options in SOME areas, but in others it feels very empty. The world is big, and offers loads of opportunities, and you can do pretty much anything you want; from getting a job to fishing. The home customisation is BRILLIANT, and you feel like you can never run out ofAnother decent simulator from EA, and it's more in depth than ever before.

The world is big, and offers loads of opportunities, and you can do pretty much anything you want; from getting a job to fishing. The home customisation is BRILLIANT, and you feel like you can never run out of things to get. However, there's one problem. GLITCHES GALORE! So far, I've ran into around a dozen game breaking ones, which stop the game from reaching it full potential, which is a bit sad.… Expand

    It's an absurdly addictive experience that maintains this draw on consoles. As a whole, the game's fairly solid.

    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.

    As expected, the virtual playground that is the Sims doesn't convert very well into the console world. Even with the added gameplay components like Karma, the experience is very much like Sims 3-lite compared to the larger world in Sims 3 for the PC.
