... after picking up that controller I was hooked! Though the controls could use a litlle tweaking I got used to them in no time. When I first heard the game was coming out I had some doubts but wow this game is awesome! If you have the computer games and enjoy them then you will love this version! The 3D graphics are amazing and it is so much fun! With the computer games I got bored after awhile with just going to work coming home and going to bed day after day (In the game not real life). In this game you are constantly having to reach certain goals and you never run out of things to do. The multi player part is also fun! Overall this is a great game and a must have!

Thank You Much For Reading!

The Sims for Xbox is a very addicting game.

Pros:
Don't have to wait for game to load.
More features than PC version.
Very addictive
More detailed (tree moves, car passes by while selecting a
house to buy in the neighborhood, etc.)

Cons:
Confusing at first. Then gets much less confusing.

Almost inexplicable how this game is so much fun

What makes this game so much fun? For whatever reason, I can't put a finger on it. But this much is true: if the game were more complex, if it had less humor, if it changed one thing, it would not be so successful as a video game!

Certainly, this game is addictive. I had never played the PC version, but some buddies of mine have been crazy for it. I bought "the Sims" for XBOX the day it was released. It lived up to my expectations. Tons of fun, with lots of humor, very open-ended, and addictive!

Let me write this homage to the folks at Maxis/EA: thanks for a revolutionary game! There's nothing else available like "the Sims." And I'm glad they made the commitment to bringing it to the XBOX console with the quality seen in the PC version.

I especially enjoy the "Get a Life" game mode. The player creates a Sim and must meet goals to advance to newer and larger houses. Sort of like a game within a game. Not only is the goal-oriented play addictive and interesting, it also acts as a very effective tutorial for the more open-ended "Play the Sims" game mode. I really applaud Maxis/EA for including the "Get a Life" mode, which I do not think is available in the earlier PC version.

One gripe I have (which is an insignificant gripe) is that I was not able to import my Sim from "Get a Life" into my "Play the Sims" neighborhood. I would have really liked that option.

Since I needed to create a brand new character for my "Play the Sims" neighborhood, I created a young, single black man living in a modest home and starting a career in the military. One of the coolest things about the Sims is that you can create a character just like you (I am a 25-year old married white male). But sometimes even better is the ability to role play the life of someone very different from you!

Best game i've played in a long time!

The Sims was such a fantastic game. It is much better than that of the PC and also takes a shorter amount of time to save and load. Its graphics are just amazing and its like they are actually real people. It is a bit high but hey every video game is when it is just released. It is well worth the money and i can play it for hours at a time. This game is without a doubt one of the best games I have come across or experienced in a long long time!

It's a SIM life...

Until now, all the games I have purchased have lost my attention. This is the first that has me wanting to play. This is also my first time playing SIMS. I've heard so much about it and was anxiously awaiting it for the XBOX. It's not your shooting, magical, or mystical game. It's about managing a life. Initially, I had to buy a guide to understand where I was going wrong. But once I got a hang of the needs and personality of my SIM, I've really come to enjoy the game. It's worth the time, money and effort. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

One of the BEST games ever made!!!!!

The Sims was finally brought to game consoles and couldn't have been happier.When I finally bought it, I was a bit confused it took me a while before I could really get it, but when I did I would spend hours playing this game. I think this game is so addictive is because you can't really beat it.(except in Get a Life Mode)There's a lot of items and so many different ways to make your sim. You start from scratch on a brand new house and design it however you want. This game is a must have!!!

This game is pretty addicting... I will literally play for hours and hours (and I'm not big into video games)! It's so fun to create your different characters and build your dream house... I played on the computer at a relative's house and really got hooked there, so my husband got the game on XBox for me. It's a little different then the computer version but still just as fun!
