sweeet! September 3, 2010 A. Swain (leeds) cracking game improves upon the original and sims 2 vastly
a must buy as its the only game i can play with my girlfriend
It's brilliant August 29, 2010 M. Sayers (Stoke, England) The Sims is the greatest computer game of all time, and the 3rd is no exception, briliant concept, just amazing, and if you haven't played the 2nd the advancement in the games is outstanding, even if you have its still shockingly good
Very Good August 28, 2010 dinkle life (east england) Don't buy this game thinking it's an improvement of The Sims 2. It's not. What it is is a whole new branch of The Sims 2. Its predecessor may have many more Buy Mode Objects, hairstyles and clothes, but this game makes up for what it deprives you of in other ways. There's so much more to explore- the whole game is full of things to investigate. You can write books and publish them, letting other Sims read them in the library. Or you can fish for exotic creatures, plan a perfect garden, run around the neighbourhood, steal from other Sim's houses, pursue a career such as Military or just raise a family at home. It takes the obvious basics from TS2 and evolves in a different direction. But be careful - make sure you make a story to pursue or it can get boring. Just filling your Sim's needs and sending them to work often dulls the whole experience. I found needed to take advantage of the seamless world and the lack of loading screens. Breakout the house like you never could in The Sims 2.
Traits come into play well. Discovering other's traits is fun in itself. The Create-A-Style is awesome! You can spend hours just planning the bathroom down to the smallest detail. The camera is very nice as well: You can sitting with your Sim at home, and then whoosh! You'll be zooming over the whole neighbourhood, watching the sea sparkle, the cars roam and the people converse far below you, before settling in the gym where another Sim is working out on the other side of town. Plus the town that comes with the game is absolutely beautiful, I just love 'walking' the camera around, looking at everything...
Fails to live up to expectations August 23, 2010 S. Witkowski-Baker (London, England) When I made the leap from The Sims to The Sims 2, it was an enormous step forward. I was awe-struck by the amount of new gameplay possibilities, the new features, but also the incredibly impressive look and feel which it had. Along came some genuinely innovative expansion packs, and I was borderline obsessed. As I was very excited for The Sims 3, I have to say that I was genuinely dissapointed by it. At first it seemed to come with some cool new game features - I do like the 'attributes', and the prospect of designing every object in the house to my specifications seemed to open up a great deal of potential. However, as time went on I realised that for Sims 2 fans who were used to playing with all the expansion packs, The Sims 3 was initially very limited. The fact that EA/Maxis have decided to maximise profits by including barely any of the Sims 2 expansion pack capabilities into the Sims 3 made me realise straight away that in order to get to a similar amount of gameplay potential, I would have to wait for the expansion packs, and then pay for each one. It is, of course, expected of a company to maximise profits, but to me it was insulting to the faithful fans of the series to force them to start over with a blank slate.
For me, the Sims 3 is simply not different enough from The Sims 2 to make it worth playing, compared to my fully expansion-pack-loaded version of The Sims 2. I've long since given up on The Sims 3. When you really get into it, the ability to customise is not vast, because the fabrics and structures are still limited, so ultimately it's not dramatically different from downloading or creating your own recolours of maxis objects, or indeed new meshes. I also felt that the graphics actually took a step down from The Sims 2 to The Sims 3. I found it less colourful, and the sims all seemed to look the same somehow. I was left completely unimpressed, and if you're a Sims 2 fan who has collected the expansion packs and downloaded some custom content, my advice is that upgrading to The Sims 3 is just not worth the money.
The sims 3 review August 23, 2010 Poodle The game is very good but the instructions aren't clear and it can be quite slow (no, its not my laptop) But overall, its good.
