    The developers need to be commended for their efforts and if you like sandbox games, this is unmissable.

    A good porting of the PC experience. Maybe some extra content could've made this one a must buy deal, but still if you love the Sims and have an HD console, this must be yours.

    The Sims 3 succeeds on all counts, despite some technical difficulties.

    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.

    this game is addicting. if u dont have a powerful pc to play sims 3 like me, then get it for the console. the game is awesome. u can use karma powers to make good/bad things happen (max happy for all need for 1 day/catch house on fire). create a household with either 1 up to 8 sims. juggling their needs, job, friends, the house, and other unpredictable events, you will be playing this nonstop. only things that not make it a 10, no vacant lots, have to destroy building that already exsists for that. cant have more than 1 sim family per save. and sometimes wish there was a go uber fast, because fast x3 and x4 is not fast enough. great game that can be addicting… Expand

    The Sims 3 is good first of all but I wished you can play as you did in The Sims 2. I also wished you could also see and work at your job instead of fast-forwarding until their job is done. I wished it could of been a mini-game. Also doing simple things like eating and taking a shower take an hour to finish! It should of been 10 minutes just to eat and take shower. It wastes time and doesn't let you do other things you need to do. I would of like it more if you could have an option to set the game play as Regular Sims style or Mass Effect style(Controlling one person and walking around from the point of view of GTA IV, Saints Row, and of course Mass Effect). I would of used it and would of liked this game more. Still The Sims 3 is enjoyable even though it could of been better.… Expand

    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.… Expand

    The only reason this game even got a 1 is because it's a "Sims" game. Overall, terrible game. The controls are awful, and these, karma points, are the only reason this game could be playable.
    Overall a awful game, I would NEVER recommend this game to anyone, not even my worst enemy.    … Expand
