The Sims 3

So I picked up the Sims 3. I have played the last 2 games with casual enjoyment and was expecting the same experience from this latest installment. My First play session just lasted over 8 hours. No joke. I pulled my first video game all-nighter in over a year on the Sims.

It add a layer of detail that makes it fascinating. I won't bore you with all the detail about that stuff and the new game mechanics as you can find it elsewhere if it really interests you.

What I do wanna mention is the games goal system for your sims. The Sims 2 had desires that you could fulfil for rewards but not to the degree this game has. It's actually fun trying to fulfilll all your sims wants. Then every sim has lifetime goal for you to try and achieve.

All of the menial micro-managing has been taken away for the most part. You can help you sims improve their lives by clicking and interacting with their lives, but they won't die or pee themsleves all day if you don't.

To sum it up all the changes have made this game go from an appealing casual game (which it still is on the surface for those who want it to be that), to a game that can appeal to the "gamer" audience.

Thanks EA for sucking away my life for another 100 hours!

Keep your sims happy people!
