Pros: detailed world,non multi-player Cons: weekends do not exist
I always have been a big fan of the Maxis family of games. I have been playing them since the very first version of SimCity. I enjoy these games as a non-violent way to pass time, which is what I need from time to time to calm down from my own hectic...

Pros: Fun Cons: Can be frustrating; Fun wears off a bit after awhile
I already spent an unbelievable amount of time in front of my computer, and getting this game hasn't helped much! I got hooked on it very quickly. The object of the game is to "manage" your Sims' life (or lives,if you have more than one Sim)...

Pros: Music, graphics, new gameplay Cons: nothing note worthy
When I first heard about this game I was both excited and worried that it would be another Electronic Arts game that after 2 weeks I would be done with. From the very beginning I knew there were quite a few improvements to this than your normal...

Pros: original idea, graphics, soun Cons: cant find any
I didn't believe the people could but they actually made an Extreamly fun game where you controll your "Sims" and i indeed say, they did a great job on it. So many elements fit together on this game that you could play "CORRECTLY"...

Pros: Realistic Cons: Not real enough
The Sims is the kind of game that can't be beaten there is no point in the game I can assure you that it is pointless. But, the fun you have while playing the game is the feeling you have complete control of the game. The thing is that you do have...

Pros: An excellent number in the line of SIM games. Cons: Too absorbing :)
I am utterly BAFFLED by the pull of this game. And I feel it, too!
You are a God, Creator of Neighborhoods, Dispenser of Justice and Wisdom... well, ok, maybe Justice. But it's still pretty cool :)
The SIMS takes real life in the...

Pros: Great game play, Never the same thing twice Cons: None
When I first heard about "The Sims" I can personally say that I was not that excited. I figured it would just be another Sim-(enter you own word here) game. I personally, was tired of them. I felt that after Sim Tower the series just died. I...

Pros: intelligent, infinite possibilities, great characters Cons: needs more memory than the game recommends
I bought this game with very high expectations, and I was not disappointed. The game is intensely addictive, and mind numbing---you watch your Sims live their life just as we do. They are sleep deprived, unhappy about work and try to keep in touch with...

Pros: It is a fun game in which you create your own mini-universe, complete with almost real people. Cons: It's quite addictive.
Warning: If you are easily addicted to computer games, do not, repeat DO NOT, buy this game. You will want to play it ALL THE TIME. That is not to say that it is on par with Everquest in its addictiveness, but it is still addictive in its own...

Pros: Beautiful graphics and detailed immersive gameplay Cons: occasional glitches that make you sims lives difficult
This game requires a modicum of caution. I warn you, sincerely, not to try to play this game when you don't have much time. I have forgone sleep and nutrition to play and build the life of my sims. I have played many good games before and thought I...

Pros: The ability to control! Cons: The number of lots and the selection of the SimPeople.
This product is another product of Maxis. It is very interesting and cool. You control the SimPeople. It is as if you are God and you control of what the Sims do. It is almost like real life. You can go download items or "skins" for the...

Pros: Excellent Graphics, Sound Cons: Crashes on Some Computers
I purchased this game with high hopes, I read a lot about it on websites and in magazines. When I first got it, I installed it (no problem there) and then started the game. While I was watching a family I created, all of the sudden the game crashed to...
