When it comes down to it, Sims 3 hasn’t changed in any major way that effects the ‘Sims’ game play you’d expect. Essentially it’s a much more open and better organised, freer version of the same game, which leads us to think that if you’re very happy with Sims 2, there is no pressing reason to upgrade straight away. However, the truth is that this sort of game isn’t played out of practical or logical reason – there’s nothing sensible about wanting to clean the toilet and call that gaming fun time! If you’re a Sims fan as I am, chances are that you’re going to buy this the second it appears on the shelf, providing your computer can run it (it’s a powerful sucker).

Another 4 out of 5 stars…Damn this game is on a roll.  I’m surprised it has yet to score a perfect 10 or a 5/5.  Maybe if it had bald space marines and set in an ‘end of the world’ war setting it would of gotten a better score.  But I don’t think it’d be The Sims anymore 😛
