The Sims, The Number 1 PC game of all time goes onto the Nintendo Game Cube!!! Sims are basicly people, except the are called sims. On the game, you create a sim, choose it's hair, clothing, personallity. Then you buy it a house. You choose all the furnishings They have hot tubs to Tiki-Man Dressers. Then you play it. You tell it what to do and when to do it.You can make them get a job, talk to neighbors, and even order a pizza. The sims are very much like humans. The can feel jealosey twards another sim, or they can even love another sims. You can have a family of sims and watch them interact with one another. The sims is an excellent Game and I reccomend it to anyone. Be sure to get the Sims for Nintendo Game cube, and Try The Sims for the computer too. It is a great game and I'm sure that you will enjoy it.

If You Buy it You'll Like It!

This Game, I don't think is like any other game I have or will ever play! This game let's you control a little person called a Sim and you can do what ever you want with them. You have to keep them happy by telling them to use the bathroom (or else they will pee on themselves) or keeping there energy high by making them go to bed! You tell them what to do and this game let's you do stuff you can only dream about! Like calling a maid to come and clean your house that you built and then hook up with her. Or calling some people over and going and hanging out in your jacuzzi! Or if a robber comes you have to call the police and get them to stop the thief. This game is like no other, and is in a category of it's own! If you have played The Sims for the PC and if you have a gamecube,PS2,or X-box then you need to buy this it is 10 times better than the PC version. And if you haven't ever played it then buy it! Like my title says "If you buy it you will like it"! I can not say enough about The Sims for Gamecube. This Game will keep you busy for hours!

I have never played the sims for gamecube, since it's not out yet, but I have all the sims games for my computer (except online), and I have to say, it is my favorite game! I am so addicted. I will surely get it when it comes out! I can't wait!

I think this game is sweet and rad because it meets all of my gaming expextations, not too violent, but a little violence, and it is just cool controling someones life.

Who wouldn't buy this game

I am a huge sims fan and i have all of the PC games and expansion packs. I really wanted the sims for PS2 but i only have a gamecube. I saw an ad for the sims and it said it was for gamecube and PS2. I can't wait to get it. I will probably be first in line at Wal-mart on the 27th. I would suggest this game to anyone but beware: it is addictive!

One of the best games I have ever played!!

The concept of The Sims was to be able to control a family. The games name origanaly was named The doll house. But since the game was a simulation of a family being controled by someone else the name The Sims was born. I have all The Sims games for PC (execpt online). The game was created very well. Graphics are very good. People speak in simulation language and the curancy is simolians. To be sucssful in the game you must keep your sims live well balanced. If you are looking for a game that is fun and will keep you busy for hours this is the game for you.

What's the point?

I have the PC version with all the expansions and I have no idea why anyone would want to pay...for a console version which is usually worse than the PC version and which is more expensive...

Pros: Awesome box art
Graphics might be better than PC version

Cons: More Expensive than PC version
Harder Controls than PC version
Won't come out with any expansions (unlike PC version)

Bottom Line: I give the PC version 5 stars so just get the PC version!

Oops, didn't make it the bathroom in time!

General/Summary: I was very excited when I heard this game would be coming to GameCube. That is the reason I bought one as I had no desire to own a PS2, PC or X-Box. I have wanted to play this game since I saw it for PC's. The long wait was worth it. If you have played any of the sim games such as Sim City, Sim Ant, etc. and enjoyed them you will love this one. You essentially live out the life of an ordinary Joe like you would live your own life. ''Get a Life'' is the only option when you start, which is a mission based game where you meet certain goals and progress your life and career till you win the game, which is a first for The Sims. ''Play the Sims'' is based on the traditional game where you control everything forever essentially. The game lasts as long as you choose as you play out your life and the lives of others in your neighborhood. This game mode is unlocked soon after you play the other and get past the first level. Rent or buy: Renting is always a good idea if you're not sure you will like this type of game but my guess is that you will soon be running out to buy the game. Gotta go, my Sim needs to go to the can again! Gameplay: The controls are very intuitive and laid out well. My only complaint is that giving multiple commands and cancelling same can be a chore at times but not bad by any means. You control everything as I mentioned. You can turn on ''Free Will'' which gives your Sim some power to control his/her life and it usually does the right thing but you can't count on it. If two things the Sim needs are close it may do somthing like eat instead of going to the bathroom and you can guess the result. You have to keep an eye on them at all times. In the modes when you are alone in your home you may wish to turn ''Free Will'' off but when you start having roomies its better to leave it on because it can be tough to control all the characters all the time, although swapping between them is as easy as pressing ''Z.'' Fixing up your place and buying things takes getting used to but you will pick it up in no time. The only problem I've had is when I want a non-player computer controlled Sim to join or follow me, such as wanting them to join you in the hot tub or play strip poker (yes, thats right) as an example. Another first for The Sims is a two player game which is loads of fun as you and your opponent compete against each other to beat the other guy/gal to certain goals. It can be quite funny in the process. Graphics: The game is in 3D and for the most part you can make out everything in the game that you can interact with. Its a 3/4 top down perspective. I wish you could zoom in more and really have the sense of moving about in real life but the game works quite well as is. I give the graphics a higher score because Maxis did a good job with what they had. The graphics can be a little fuzzy at times though but I wonder if this is the GameCube itself? I use S-video and all of the GameCube games I have are fuzzy to some extent, although overall not bad. Sound: The Sim jibberish is pretty funny if not repetitive. Soon you will know what your Sim needs and you better pay attention unless you want to pass out from exaustion or wet your pants from not making it to the bathroom. Yes, you heard me right. Your Sim counts on you to tell it to do everything. More on that later. The ambient sounds like the appliances, TV, hot tub, alarm clock, doorbell, phone etc. etc. are all very well done.

this game [is not good]

the graphics may be good but who cares when you need an extra large memory cartrige it takes 60 blocks and a standard memory card is only 59 so if you want to save you cant and on top of that there arent any good codes for it unlike the pc version and the levels will drive you mad between them not wanting to do stuff which will complete the level they do stuff that has nothing to do with the level.so in short this game [is not good]
