Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The bestselling PC game of all time is finally making its console debut: The Sims allows console gamers to create and control their own little computer people with new level-based gameplay and swankier 3-D graphics.
Many would have assumed that The Sims could never work on a console, but one look at this version will easily prove them wrong. In fact, with the temptation to fall back on a mountain of confusing mouse-operated icons and online patches removed, this could well be the definitive version. For starters, the graphics now look much better than before, being in full 3-D instead of just isometric 2-D. This not only looks better but also allows you to zoom in and out on the action and feels a lot less sterile than the original. Things are still as customisable as ever too, especially via the Create-A-Sim option.
Perhaps the biggest change to how the game plays on a console is in the new level-based missions. The PC original had no real goal; you just designed a family and let them get on with it, interfering with their virtual life as much or as little as you wanted. The console version adds some goals and rewards to the gameplay, which should help to attract the more attention-deficient console owners. There's even a rather odd two-player mode, which, even if it seems a little pointless, is yet more proof that EA are really trying to make this a proper worthwhile console experience and not just the cheap cash-in many would've expected. --David Jenkins

I love this game!!! I was about to sell my X Box until I heard that The Sims was about to be released and I'm glad I did. This is SO much better than the PC version with better graphics, a wider choice of character graphics and a whole lot more fun! Go on buy it!!

This review is from: The Sims (Xbox) (Video Game)
this is one of the most addictive games there is on Xbox. to be honest i didnt like it at first, the thought of just controling peoples lives aand telling them to use the toilet would be time wasting, but in these last few months i have really got into it, i guess i like the challenge. i say dont buy this game if you get bored easily. If you like a bit of a challenge then BUY IT, its great!!!
