2.0 out of 5 stars Play With A Limited Life, April 3, 2011
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: The Sims 3 (Video Game)
The Sims is popular for a reason. It's by far the best "life" simulator you can find (that's also fun), and the many different versions of the game that have spawned on different systems and handhelds have actually been good as well.

The Sims 3 3DS breaks this reputation by bringing a watered down experience that, while at the same time, does its best job as possible to look ugly. Seriously. I understand that a launch of a new handheld usually means that the games are expected to be rather dull, but The Sims 3 goes beyond this and provides an experience so uninspired that I found myself getting bored after only 20 minutes of playing.

The problem is that the game is essentially The Sims 3; But this 3DS port makes it look like EA believes in the handheld myth that content is impossible to achieve on a portable gaming system. In fact, it overgeneralizes this idea so bad that the game feels like an alpha stage to The Sims on the GameCube or the PS2, which is... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars I regret spending any money on this, April 9, 2011
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: The Sims 3 (Video Game)
I'm a hardcore sim addict, I love anything and everything Sims no matter how low quality it might look on consoles. I've been a loyal sim player for 11 years.
I purchased the 3DS and naturally wanted to get The Sims 3 for it, there wasn't allot to choose from in the launch anyways. I read bad reviews, so I had low expectations, but it's not hard to please me as a simmer.
My low expectations were too high. This game is embarrassing to me as a sim advocate. It is highly obvious that this is an unfinished product rushed to make the 3DS launch set up so EA could make some easy money. The glitches are unavoidable and annoying. I'd rather have horrible graphics than the horrible gameplay they managed to create.

-No needs bars. I can never set up routine management for my sim, their needs are unpredictable and tell you at the worst times when they're starving or are about to wet themselves, which causes your job performance to go down and your house is always a wreck... Read more

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: The Sims 3 (Video Game)
This game isn't worth 40 dollars...there's barely any choices in clothes/hair for your sim, and not many choices for anything at all. If you're a sims fan, I implore you, stick to PC. At least you can install mods on the PC version.
