The Sims (Mac)

Pros: Fun & Addictive
Cons: Caution: Addictive

This fun and addictive game really takes me back to childhood, playing with my dollhouse and imagining all types of people, families, and situations. Well, Sims allows me to do this again as an adult in amazing detail. The Sims allows you to create,...

Pros: Great gameplay, realistic, engrossing
Cons: Too engrossing

This game is very entertaining! I have been using a computer since the early 90's, but never bought a computer game before. I was never interested in games. That is, until I read about the Sims on Amazon.com and then started reading some of the reviews...

Pros: None
Cons: Everything

The Sims...

I find this game to be rather like the Nano and Giga pets--a little goes a long way! Any attraction quickly fades away.

The game is supposed to be centered on building a home, family, friendships and life in general....

Pros: Allows you to be creative, fun for the first couple weeks, high initial entertainment value.
Cons: Repetitiveness makes "The Sims" lose its appeal relatively quickly.

After playing "Civilization II" for the umpteenth time (when will world domination ever become boring?) I decided it was time to embrace a new game. I had heard great things about "The Sims," mostly from my non-computer-game loving...

Pros: Fun - - - - Lots of stuff to do. - - - - - good graphics
Cons: Really no replay value. Almost no sound

I purchased The Sims about 1 month ago and it is a fun game. For those who are not familiar with the Sims, it is a game in which you make a family or just a couple people, build a house for them, and buy things for them to help them live. Their actions...

Pros: Fun at first, it is an original type of game.
Cons: Gets boring after a while.

The Sims by Maxis and EA is a new and original game which puts you in charge of taking care of the lives of people you choose, who live in a house you create. If you are a fan of previous Maxis simulation games you will probably want to dive into...

Pros: great graphics and sound, easy to play, hours of fun
Cons: the weather never changes; they go to work/school every day; they don't get their own cars; can't visit neighbors unless you play the game in the other person's house and invite your Sims over

Okay, I'll have to admit that I've never played Sim City, Theme Park, or any other Sim games before this one, but I have played Disney's Coaster, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and Caesar III. I was always so thrilled about being able to build and watch my own...

Pros: Fun, creative, original, realistic
Cons: Could have a lot more options (such as Sim pets), but an expansion pack is due to come out soon

I first saw this game on February 5th, just two days after it came out and just two days before my birthday, and I just HAD to have it. I used to play SimCity2000 and I just loved the idea of being able to control people's lives (being the control freak...

Pros: addictive, never gets old
Cons: frustrating at times, hard to keep you sims happy

The first time I played The Sims, I had a tough time building a house, making my person feel better, etc. But after I learned the game shortcuts and how to play, I absolutely loved it! The realism in this game is simply outstanding. It's just...

Pros: Very Fun, and Intriguing..Get To Live Out Some Fantasies!!
Cons: Your Spose May Begin to Wonder When Your Coming To Bed

Maxis, a division of Electronic Arts has come out with a Topnotch game!! It will have you staying up late just to see what is going to happen next...or what you'll make happen next! Yes, you heard me right, You call the shots in this game. OK I'll...

Pros: good game, good graphics, good gameplay
Cons: may not work on slower computer systems, VERY ADDICTIVE. :D

I remember it well; it seems like yesterday, although it must’ve been nearly a month ago. I walked downstairs to see my sister playing a game on my father’s computer. I watched intently as she commanded the people on the screen to take showers, use the...

Pros: Non-violent gameplay, suitable for all ages, ability to customize
Cons: Some may find the tame gameplay boring

Well, it looks like The Sims just may end up being the best-selling game of 2000, and rightfully so - it's deceptively simple, but extremely addictive, and it's a great example of role-playing/simulation game play at its best.

I decided to...

Pros: fun, exciting, you never get bored
Cons: time passes by really fast while playing this game.

Well... I really enjoy playing this game. That is when I can get my 7 year old to let me have a turn. I guess for those of us who have no real life.. this game becomes really addictive...:O)

I love the fact that you can choose the way you...

Pros: Fun ruining your little Sims' lives, watching them do something stupid or play around with new items you buy them.
Cons: Frustrating, hard, too many things to do with a Sim, more annoying than a tomagotchi.

Control the lives of the men and women of Sim City. Yes, you've played mayor, helicopter pilot, driver, farmer and now you get to play GOD in this very slick game, The Sims.

When I first started playing this game, I got really hooked...

Pros: Incredible Idea and nearflawless execution
Cons: Taking out the garbage is not a "game".

Ever had a hard day at work only to come home and accidently pee on the couch? Well, I know of one guy who has. Actually this guy is nothing more than a collection of wireframes and textures, add a little AI and you got a Sim! I gotta give MAXIS props...
