Reviews around version (5.00 of 5)

  • At least I now know that if the Sims 3 for Wii is anything like this to not even bother, because obviously nothing will ever be as good as the PC version
  • I noticed a lot of reviews complaining that it's not as good as the PC version - well, there's a reason for that
  • The game works well.. even better than the PC version that is always causing her PC to freeze up.
  • But the options for this game were so incredibly limited and the graphics so poor that I felt like I was playing a truncated version of Sims 1 instead of Sims 3
  • The game works well.. even better than the PC version that is always causing her PC to freeze up.

Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • I understand that there are limitations to what can be done with the memory on a DS card, but EA had done an excellent job of hyping the design freedom
  • You get a job, and progress through this job to get promotions, more money, and better
  • The Sims 1 did a better job of creating Sims that you actually wanted to look at while playing
  • There were many places to visit and Sims to hang out with!Getting a job was nice, but work consumed too much of the game and left little time for anything else

Reviews around lifetime (5.00 of 5)

  • They incorporate skills, traits, lifetime goals, and aspiration awards as seen in other Sims games all to decent (but not stellar) effect
  • All the while of keeping your sim happy you earn these lifetime happiness points
  • For instance, you may choose to accept a workout routine, upon completion you will receive a bonus of 250 lifetime happiness points
  • You set a lifetime achievement goal, a few characteristics about your sim, and then get to choose you house
  • The karma powers are all locked, achieving higher Lifetime Happiness points seems to be what unlocks them

Reviews around sim (4.45 of 5)

  • The main reason I hate this game is because it seems like the Sim is constantly needing to bathe, use the toilet or sleep.
  • But interactions were easy to direct and it was easy to keep my sim happy until I got bored with it
  • You can make your sim a criminal or shy, ambitous, hot headed, neat, slob and over 20 more traits 2 choose from
  • Also, the Sim worked for just two hours and ran down all bars.
  • All the while of keeping your sim happy you earn these lifetime happiness points

Reviews around ds (3.61 of 5)

  • I don't like this game because it's a lousy DS game
  • so I decided to get a new game for it so that he would know that I love my DS too and didn't want to get rid of it
  • The game may be pretty pixelated and has a lot of "jaggies", but you people need to understand the DS can't handle perfect, crisp graphics.9/10Sound
  • I am not sure why, my DS could have been hot, or the game was just overwhelmed

Reviews around sims (3.32 of 5)

  • if you like the sims on the pc you will like this game.
  • Sure, that's what Sims naysayers say about the franchise anyway--but the Sims is and can be so much more, and the Sims 3 DS fails to meet that "much more" potential by a long shot.
  • Thew new sims adds some interesting elements to it with the karma powers, but generally if you like the sims you'll like sims 3.however, I did not notice that the game is rated "E" for the nintendo DS, instead of "T" as it is for the consoles.
  • The Sims 3 for DS is horrible, and I am so disappointed that I paid full price for
  • If you're a die-hard Sims fan though, you will definitely want this game

Reviews around thing (2.82 of 5)

  • and I loved this as well the only thing I didn't was how many days it takes before you get baby Sims(about 200 days).
  • Well, I started zooming in to look for these "strange things" and I have only found 1 so far
  • The GUI is frustratingly unresponsive or mis-responsive at times--it usually takes multiple tries to do simple things like cancel an action or select a wish because the touch screen interface seems to think you're clicking on the ground half the time you're trying to tap an icon with the stylus
  • Well just one thing I hate about this game that it doesnt let you make a family, I have tried many times, but no because it is rated E but still little kids shouldnt play this game
  • You can make friends or enemies, boyfirends or girlfriends, you can shower, bathe, go pee, get married, eat, get a job,or stay unemployed, and over 1,000 other things
