The Sims 3

I have been a fan of the sims for quite a few years now, i was excited that the sims 3 was going to be released. The open neighborhood was the main reason why i wanted this game.

The game was interesting at first, maybe for the first week. Now a few months later i find it incredibly hard to keep interest while playing. Unlike in the sims 2 i would be addicted for months on end. Then i would have a 'bored' moment for a few weeks, then straight back to the addicted phase.

The one thing i missed that wasn't in the sims 3 was the genetics. I had a family that had four children, each one looked alike. While if i would of been in the sims 2 i would of had some variety. Another thing i didn't like was how getting in and out of the car wasn't used anymore, it seemed lazy to me to leave that out.

But it wasn't all bad, the open neighborhood, the new relationship panels showed family relations(step father) and how the sims wernt as dependant anymore.

Overall i'll think i'll go back to the sims 2

Boring repetitive, all the characters are so ugly cartoonistic game.

They dont even support their own game hiding direct link to the patches is a shameful if you ask me.

Why do they hide any links to the patches? They want you to update the game via the game itself which is bad if you needed to keep a copy of the patches for future reinstallation.

0 out 10 is my rating.

It was a solid improvement, removing many of the annoying aspects of its predecessor such as the complexity and the dependability of the sim's aspirations. There is also less categories to manage and the sims Autonomy has greatly improved and the customisation of the items is fantastic

My thoughts, if you are thinking of it as a Sims 2 with better graphics, you are wrong; the game has a lot more depth however the activities are optional therefore leaving the game to be as complex or as simple as the user wishes.

Being a fan of The Sims franchise since the original Sims, I was looking forward to The Sims 3. However, I had a good idea that The Sims 3 wouldn't be as great as what I though it would/could be ... and I was right ... almost.
