GameSpot has added their review of the Xbox 360 version of The Sims 3. Not only that, but you can catch a few new screens along with a couple of gameplay videos!
The Sims 3 may not be the perfect fit for consoles, but it’s hard to deny the attraction. As annoying as the loading times and frequent pauses are, there is something indelibly rewarding about controlling the lives of these delightful goofballs. None of the wonderful additions of the PC version’s expansions–vacations, workday activities, photography, and so on–were implemented here, so you might suspect plans of premium downloadable content in the future. Nevertheless, The Sims 3 is still loaded with dozens of hours of gameplay, and is further bolstered by the online exchange, which is available from the main menu. Using the exchange, you can upload your creations and download others; or if you are willing to part with a bit of extra cash, you might purchase new items from the store. In other words, the game will keep you busy for a while. It’s too clunky to be consistently satisfying, but if you’re searching for the delights of everyday life, you might very well find them lurking within The Sims 3.
