The Sims 3 (PC) Reviews

The sims 3 is much different from the others, but also exactly the same. I'll tell you why now. Create a sim is almost the same, apart from you can customise the pattern and colour of all the clothes! Plus you have a colour wheel for the hair so you can get exactly the right tone, having the option to edit highlights, roots, tips, and the ...  Read the complete review

After years since the last "proper" Sims title, and numerous delays, The Sims is finally here. Does it live up to the hype? The answer is yes. But is it the best Sims of the series? The premise is undoubtedly familiar to anyone that's gone near a PC in the last decade; you essentially play God over computer characters, shaping ...  Read the complete review

The Sims 3 builds upon the success of the previous 2 games. The game now features a seamless neighbourhood which has literally no loading screens. Unlike previous editions, the user can now move their sim between home and downtown, shops and restaurants, without needing to wait for the game to load up each individual place, making for a more ...  Read the complete review

I steadfastly avoided the Sims through each of its previous incarnations- repelled by the cutsie little capitalist microcosms full of cookie-cutter robots, where you watched them cook, pee, have safe romances, and develop generic hobbies. I could get behind Sim City... a more strategic game, with solid goals, and a perspective so long distance ...  Read the complete review

The latest installment of the popular Sims franchise was eagerly awaited by fans - but it may leave some of them wanting more. The game delivers on a lot of its promises. The personalities of your Sims are more detailed than ever before, so that each Sim truly seems to have a mind of it's own. Careers no longer depend on only ...  Read the complete review

In comparison to the innoative nature of the two predecessors, 'The Sims Three' has proven to be a bit of a disappointment in many circles. Whilst a seamless neighbourhood was introduced to create shorter loading times between households, and the commercial lots, this has been undone by the lack of fastforwarding ability through everyday activites ...  Read the complete review

***Please be sure to read my updates at the end of this review, which now address many of the problems I found with my review of this game in its original 'straight out of the box' form. Year of release: 2009 Publisher: EA Games The Sims 3 is the latest in the 'Sims' life simulator series that began in 2000 with The ...  Read the complete review

I would like to congratulate Electronic Arts for producing such increasingly high-quality titles. I am a devoted Sims fan: I love the micro detail of the gameplay, from choosing your Sim's clothes to what music they listen to. It's even fun (in a puerile way) choosing when to make your Sim go to the toilet! I was not disappointed, ...  Read the complete review

In 2000, EA gave us The Sims. In 2004, they gave us The Sims 2. Now, in 2009, we have the greatly anticipated Sims 3. The Sims PC franchise has become the biggest selling in history so, naturally, The Sims 3 had a lot to live up to; with promises of never before seen features like the seamless neigbourhood. In my opinion, they didnt ...  Read the complete review

I can still remember when I first received the original sims game. It was a genuinely innovative game that allowed players to "play god" on their own virtual family. For many weeks you would run a proper family realising just how difficult it was to make it in a job and for some reason you were required to have lots of friends to get ...  Read the complete review

I was really looking forward to this game after being a sims fan for many years and after it had been delayed several times. As with all sims games it takes up alot of space/memory and takes a while to load, but once it had loaded i didn't really get much lag at all compared to the previous sims games. The only other time the game was slow for me ...  Read the complete review

After so many years of development and countless delays in release, fans of the previous two sims (myself included) have been eageraly awaiting the arrival of the biggest pc game franchise to date. And now finally it has arrived. I got my copy pre-ordered knowing full well that copies would be selling like hot cakes and indeed I was right as most ...  Read the complete review

The new sims game sticks to its greatformula while trying to attract the serious hardcore gamers too. The game has introdced new features to their sims such as traits, their lifetime dreams, wishes, rewards, skills and a few others. These do help you when playing the game to create a more focused game on completing some goals or or nice structure ...  Read the complete review

The Sims is like Marmite you either love it or hate it, and I certainty love Sims 3! The vast amount of new features included are sure to occupy your time for the next few months, cancel those vacations away, put the next two weeks off work, do an extra large food shop, and prepare to be succumbed into the world of Sims! One of the ...  Read the complete review

This game is brilliant! The only bad point is (for me at least), its a bit hungry on your system. I have a resonable specd computer ( 7800 graphics, win xp, 4 gig ect.) and sometimes when i exit the game, the computers a bit sluggish for a couple of minuites (then again it might be that the OH is downloading to many movies in Itunes ...  Read the complete review

The Sims 1, and the Sims 2 - two big reasons why I lose my wife to the computer for many hours at a time. And to be fair, I can understand why. The Sims series lets you build up anywhere between a single character and a whole neighbourhood and to build them into anyone you like, and with a range of expansion packs allowing you to add new ...  Read the complete review

Having played on both the Sims and the Sims 2 along with most of the expansion packs I have eagerly been awaiting the launch of the new 'The Sims 3'. There is certianly a lot of hype in place for the luanch of this game with the reputation that it has achieved over the years. There have been huge improvements to the game made by the ...  Read the complete review

NOTE: THE REVIEW HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED (4/6/09) UPON RECEIVING THE GAME AND PLAYING IT AND IT IS AMAZING. In the beginning there was The Sims, and about a decade later, we are given the third in the series: The Sims 3!! A huge transformation has taken place in this time, such as giving our sims a third dimension, the ability to grow in ...  Read the complete review

I love simulation games from Sim City to The Sims. I have been a huge fan of the Sims games since The Sims was released many years ago. With the advancement of technology and the average household computer more can be demanded from the game. The creators have made a huge improvement with The Sims 3. It takes a ...  Read the complete review

After The Sims 1, The Sims 2 and its other spin off games, we are represented with The Sims 3! Now, I know some of you may be wondering "Will this be the same as the other versions?" "Is this an addon pack?". In short, in some ways yes but in more ways no *Depth of game* When you first start playing the ...  Read the complete review
