I’ve been playing The Sims 3 for the last week, and I have got to say it is probably the best game I have ever played!
I will admit that there are some bits I am a little disappointed about, such as the amount of items has been reduced significantly. I know you can buy them on the store but I refuse to pay nearly £12 for 35 items, when I could get 60 items for less with Sims 2. EA stop ripping off your customers!
In terms of game play however, it is much better the Sims have longer lives so it might actually be possible to achieve their lifelong want. Also the jobs are much better; more interaction means that I’m not sitting around half the time waiting for the work day to end. Also having the promotion based on what they do at work is a great idea, how many people have to go read a book about cleaning or play the guitar to make them better at their job! NO ONE! Well done EA for sorting that out, it was getting to be a little annoying, especially when you got the Sim past half way on a skill, because it took forever.

The new creation tools that Sims 3 has are fantastic, you can practically create whatever you want, however it takes time to get to grips with this; I spent about 3 hours making my Sim perfect and endless amount of time decorating the house and furniture.

All in all I am very impressed, would definitely recommend to anyone, even if you say you don’t like the Sims, I think you would like this!
