    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 dangerously addictive game that you have to carefully monitor yourself with or you may find many, many hours of your own life missing while your Sim is living the good life.

    Maxis still did a great job of mapping all the PC commands to the GameCube controller.

    Most home computer gamers will find this version of The Sims to be a novel diversion, but they will eventually return to their monitors and keyboards for the easy, open-ended play that is only available there.

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

    This game is OK, but honestly, this game is very fast paced, and I really don't see a point to it, I mean, there is no real goal. Too much stuff goes wrong and things just seem to get out of hand. This is a love it / hate it, kind of game. I just personally found it annoying. I have really gotten to not liking EA's games lately. They have consistantly poor graphics, and they have serious flaws. I'd keep looking, don't waste your money if you haven't rented it!!!! You'll kick yourself!… Expand
