If it isn’t an iPhone or Blackberry, then I’m pretty much clueless when it comes to mobile phones. It appears that EA has ported over their mobile game, The Sims 3, to the Symbian^3 handset device, putting the simulation into more people’s hands. A review has popped up covering this version over at AllAboutSymbian.com, rating the game a B-.
This version of Sims is not that much different to the last iteration on Symbian handsets (which, if we’re honest, is true of every Sims game on every platform); the low level addiction was there, the quick gameplay (each real day that didn’t take up too much time, balanced off against the accelerated time passing in the game world) is pitched perfectly; and the mix of goals, personal management and fun things to do is still right in the sweet spot. Add in the larger screens, polished graphics and touch interface and this is a winner that’s improved with age.
