A portion of a review written by 1up.com:

All in all, however, the problems with The Sims 3 are easily outweighed by the wide variety of funky new gadgets, sharp additions to gameplay, and a pervasive sense that the developers had the fanbase squarely in mind throughout the design process. If EA gets the bugs ironed out with a patch, The Sims 3 will make a lot of converts to an already popular series. And it deserves to.

If it’s one thing that The Sims 3 needs to make itself better, a patch would be it!  Speaking of patches…what happened to the patch that was suppose to be available on release day?

You tell them, nerd!
