    It may not be as deep as the PC version but compared to most console games, this one is a bottomless pit.

    It's a fun, funny and truly engrossing entry in the series.

    You'll notice such things removed from the game as the ability to create a child Sim, while new things like a partially locked catalogue and cooperative play were added.

    Just stay away; this game isn't worth your hard earned cash. Go buy something decent.

    This game seems fun at first, but with no Sim children or Sim ageing, the game soon feels a bit lackluster and sad, like it could have been so much better. It's not much different from the Urbz, except for being set in suburbia. Quite frankly the game leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. I feel like Maxis sort of ripped off us console gamers.… Expand
