Product Description
Platform: Nintendo DS | Edition: Standard Edition
Manufacturer's Description
The home computer sensation finally arrives on consoles, with even more options to help create your own interactive soap opera, as you pamper and torment the people of your very own virtual city.
It's more than 20 years since Will Wright created SimCity and his development company Maxis. A lot has changed in that time, including the rise of The Sims as the studio's biggest game, but after being bought by EA elements of the team still work on the series and new titles such as Spore.
 Oversee the lives and loves of your own virtual family |
 Don't let your sims' hopes and dreams go up in flames |
 Use new karma powers to turn your sim's life around |
 Build your own dream home for your sims to live in |
Specially adapted for each format, The Sims 3 on home and portable consoles lets you create sims with their own unique personalities, desires and life goals - as well as new mini challenges such as getting your first kiss or best friend for life. It's up to you whether they fulfil their dreams or not as you unlock new karma powers to either curse or bless them as you see fit.
The powerful customisation tools let you design both the sims themselves and the homes they live in, as you fill the open world city with your own creations. Or you can go online and download new objects and designs as you share and enjoy your sims with other fans.
Key Features- Welcome To Simsville: The best version of The Sims ever on consoles, with all the features from the PC game and more, plus amazing graphics and online community options.
- Create-a-Sim: Create and mould your own sims exactly as you want, from facial features and fashion sense to personality types and life goals.
- Karma Chameleon: Use the new karma powers to give your sim a helping hand with the 'instant beauty' or 'get lucky' power - or punish them with an 'epic fail'.
- Build and Share: Join The Sims community online and download items and sims created by other fans around the world - or upload your own creations to put them on show.
- Format Specific: Let your friends know how you're doing with special integrated Facebook option on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 or use the new direct control method on Wii.

I brought this game on the day of release. The game itself is really quite enjoyable and is better than the other games but still there are some problems.
Pros:
* Building houses and making your sim is alot of fun.
* The graphics are better
* There alot more to see and do on the game
Cons:
* You cant have children
* You can only control 2 people
* The timer does not go very fast (i find this annoying when they go to work)
All in all the game id say is good fun but if you want the game like the pc version then this game may not be you.

I brought this game with an open mind having read the reviews i knew it wouldnt be like the sims 3 for pc. It was very fun and i enjoyed being able to create my own person properly. It was easier than i thought and i reached the top of my carer within a week of starting. But over all if you buy with an open mind it is very enjoyable.

This game is perfect for sitting down with a cup of tea and chilling out with your sim. I bought this because I loved the Sims for the PC, however my laptop cannot play Sims3, so it's just been sitting in my drawer. Anyway, I thought i'd buy this for my DS after checking out some gameplay videos on youtube etc. I love it for chilling out with but as other reviews, don't expect anything like the PC version. This one is like a very basic version of the PC one. But still enjoyable and nice to just chill. I even played it earlier when the grandparents came round, kept me entertained and I could still randomly say 'yeah' every now and again! :D

Bought for the grand-daughter at Christmas
It keeps her quite so it must be good! However, I know nothing about the suitability of the game for a 10 year old.
