I am a massive Sims fan, I have every one for the PS2 and I also have Sims 3 and Sims 3 Pets for the Xbox 360. Sims 3 is very different to the rest, for the first time you can go anywhere in the town. Unlike the PS2 versions you can visit friends, go to school, go to work, the theatre, the park, the local swimming pool; you name it. There's so many new features that makes it exciting. You can have an upstairs to your house by adding stairs, whereas on the PS2 ones they were more like bungalows. You can actually have children and bring them up just like you would in real life, your Sims actually die which is realistic, it even comes up with the relationships between Sims. For example, it would say 'daughter', 'son', 'uncle' and it has different interactions for family and friends. The more you get to know someone the more options you have when socialising with them. I know what you're all thinking, yes you can 'do it' on Sims 3 but it isn't in great detail like some of you are hoping it would be. This short music comes on and there's movement under the covers and love hearts above the bed but that's it so don't get excited on that bit. There's still the storyline bit where you choose what happens in your Sims lives. Whether they cheat or not, if they get married or not, if they have kids or not, what type of house they have, what job they have, who they live with, who they're friends with. BUT-on this Sims you can actually choose what they're like as a person. With a new feature called 'traits' where you can make everyone have a different personality. They have really thought this one through! I can't tell the difference between a humans life in real life and a Sims life on Sims! Apart from they speak a language that we don't understand of course! It's a definite purchase for all you Sims fans out there, get buying and playing there's so much to do! There's even challenges, it gets more and more interesting the more you play. Enjoy!
