The uniqueness of the game, the sound, graphics and the ability to control a little Sim life hooked me almost immediately.

GMR MagazineIt's impossible to categorize EA's addictive superblockbuster life simulator, just like it's impossible to stop playing it. [Feb 2003, p.94]
-
The game isn't just addictive, it's downright dangerous.
-
Never before have I played a game as compelling as The Sims. This game will provide you with emotional experiences that you could never imagine from a video game.
-
Original, amusing addictive, and most of all incredibly fun and relaxing to play. If we only had more great ideas like these
-
It is compelling, addictive, fun, frustrating, well-designed and intriguing.
-
It does become kind of mesmerising, but like watching waves on a beach, chances are that pretty soon you'll tire of the lack of variety on offer.
