The Sims (PC) Reviews

I've always been one for video games. I had a Megadrive when I was pretty young, followed by a few other Nintendo consoles, but I've also been quite a fan of games for the computer as well. I particularly enjoy simulation and strategy games, and so The Sims was something I was desperate to get when it first came out when I was about ten. ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be my favourite ever computer game and probably the one I've lost the most time playing. The Sims came out back in 2000 and was a huge hit with all ages. One of the first games of it's type, the Sims allowed you to create a character and live out their life. A simple sounding concept but one that has been really ...  Read the complete review

The Sims PC I used to love playing The Sims on the PC in the evenings. After the kids had gone to bed and I had finished my tidying I'd switch on the PC and insert the disc. It's like having a little virtual life and you can create your own character. Male or female, choose the age, hair style, clothes, make up, ...  Read the complete review

Thank god really as had i have been working i would have found my self fired for taking a sick day to complete my sim lot! The sims is basically your world! You have a neighbour hood of houses in a town (the ...  Read the complete review

Maxis has long been recognised as a company that excels in producing Sim games, from creating and running huge cities ala the sim city series or an altogether smaller affair, like 'The Sime'. The Sims could probably be best described as a life simulator, the player must create a household of happy and succesful Sims, this ...  Read the complete review

I first discovered the sims about 5 years ago. I had always been a big fan of sim city. I had always thought it would be cool to control the people that live in the city you built. The happiest day was when The Sims was released. I went out and bought the game as I had waited for what seemed like years for this game to come out. ...  Read the complete review

It's almost difficult to imagine a time without The Sims - the series has grown and grown, now on its third installment, but began as something of a sleeper hit that then evolved to the series we now know it as. The game pits the player as the controller of a neighbourhood of simulated characters, where you can control anything from the ...  Read the complete review

The original Sims PC game to me really is in essence one of the best PC games of all time. It was originally developed by Electronic Arts as apposed to EA like now. For its time the game had a totally original and almost inspiration concept of being able to run the lives of people, or as there called in the game (Sims). As I'm sure you ...  Read the complete review

The Sims is probably one of the most famous games ever. Two sequels have been released never mind countless expansion packs for each one. Basically in this game you are God, you create a family, choose or create a house and tell them what to do. You can help them become successful or you can make them set themselves on fire, ...  Read the complete review

The Sims is a perfect game for everyone, because it can be really easy if you want it to be or you can make challenging by trying to get to the top of the career ladders and so on. What I like about the Sims is that you can do virtually anything you want, I mean you could run a family into the ground or you could turn them into multi ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love this game. The graphics are brilliant and sound is of a very high quality and high standard. What I love about this game is that you can make up your own characters by choosing what type of face you want them to have, what they will wear, what colour there hair will be, you can also make your own family. ...  Read the complete review

Graphics- 7 out of 10 Certainly one of the things the Sims has going for it is its graphics. They aren't too sharp but nice and decently smooth. The sprites are strong and Maxis detail sufficiently their objects. Sound- 4 out of 10 The Sims has perfunctory sound quality and decent, workable SFX. Music doesn't ever ...  Read the complete review

Ever wanted to control other people lives? To have to power to make or break their lives? To create yourself and friends and then do whatever you want to do with them? The Sims lets you do all this and more. My personal favourite thing is that you can go completely crazy and screw up their lives just for your own personal amusement or ...  Read the complete review

The Sims is a simulation/life game where you control the lives of people that you have created. When you first start the game you are met with a small neighbourhood with about 10 house lots. There are about 5 pre-built houses and 5 empty spaces. You can use any of these houses or you can choose to build your own from scratch. Some of ...  Read the complete review

The Sims, Maxiss' first attempt at creating a "life simulation game" More than that, it worked. This game is very involving, and lets you take the position of a god, looking over this family of virtual people, I don't know if you have seen the game Creatures 3, and if you haven't i suggest you go check it out, but the ...  Read the complete review

... Overview ... The Sims is one of those classic PC games that turned a corner in 3D simulation fun. I bought this a few years ago and the great thing about it is that I'm still not totally bored of it as it's open-ended gameplay. In my opinion, that makes it a bargain compared to level games which you can only play for so ...  Read the complete review

The Sims is an excellent game, which was released for the PC and Mac years ago. It is a game in which you take control of 'Sims' lives by getting them jobs, improving their skills and building them houses. It is a really fun game to play, whether you want to watch time fly by or just have some fun! There are basic statistics, ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this shortly after its release and it kept me entertained for about a week. For around £30 I expected more than a weeks worth of entertainment especially seeing as this game doesn't have any extra replay value, it is what it is and there's no more to it. Initially looking after your sims, organising their lives etc ...  Read the complete review

The Sims - So addictive I remember first seeing this game and instantly wanting it. I also remember first getting it and being absolutley over the moon. The game itself was like nothing I had seen before. I loved the fact that you could create your own house, own sims and life a sim's life. GREAT fun. I do admit that I, ...  Read the complete review
