The Sims 3 Collector's Edition (PC-DVD) 4.8 5 8 9
Sims 3 I was very excited to get the game...so excited that I took the 2-3 day shipping and agreed with the costs. I expected it to be a little better then what it was. You don't have to worry about having the Sims 2 to install this...since it is a completely different concept. However, I wished it was more like the Sims 2 because you can not move side to side (with your mouse), which can be very frustrating when you cannot see the whole house.The pros are there is a lot more hair and eye colors to choose from. You can also make the skin however light or dark you want to, the same for body size and muscle size. However, there really isn't that much clothes to choose from.I just wish it had been a little cheaper because it included the 2GB thumbdrive shaped like the green diamonds above the sim's heads. $70 isn't worth getting a thumbdrive with it. 07/11/2009
Veteran Simmer still learning It's great - the graphics, the new music, the online Store interface (and the free points to spend in the store!) along with the ability to customize via color and pattern almost any item, but there is a bit of a learning curve for veteran Simmers.Much of Build Mode and Buy Mode are the same, although there are a few items from previous versions that are absent, and overall game play remains familiar, but there are some aspects of the "new" features that I personally don't care for.Those familiar with The Sims, and Sims2 (and associated Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs) will be able to quickly jump in and get going; those new to the franchise will want to proceed a little slower, and follow the Tutorial tips as presented. Just remember that each "household" that you play is a "saved game", but unlike in previous versions, Sims all over your town will continue on with their "lives", aging, marrying, changing jobs, and having all sorts of adventures, even when you aren't controlling them directly. If you want "total control" of your Sims life, then you will only want to play one household per town.MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER CAN HANDLE THIS GAME PRIOR TO PURCHASING! Many of the problems that new users have with this game can be traced to trying to play the game on equipment that can't handle the intense graphics requirements of the game.Overall, I'm glad I got it - I just need to get used to the new game play! :) 07/19/2009
