Customer Rating:      Summary: The SIMS Comment: This game was not as fun as the newer version (SIMS 2). It was a lot harder to understand, but it was okay for those that have the time to read cheat codes to find out how to operate the SIMS. I rate this a C-
Customer Rating:      Summary: What a Disappointment Comment: After getting hooked on this game by my sixteen year old son, it took me about three weeks to pretty much master it. Imagine my dissappoinment when, after learning most of the tricks to keep my sim healthy, happy, fit, rich and employed ... I find that there's a limit to how much you can spend... no matter how much money you have!!! Highly annoying. It doesn't matter whether you get the money by cheating or buy working hard. no matter if you have just one sim working or four... you still get a set amount of things you can buy. I've now dropped the game out of disinterest.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't buy it... you will be playing all day Comment: I have to quit playing because I will not sleep, eat or anything else just for been playing. I enjoyed it very much... you must buy it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Has its own appeal despite not being as good as the computer version Comment: While I like the computer version, which is tailor-made for nerds like me, better overall, the xBox version is not without its charms. The eye candy is incredible. The houses are so realistic! And the character creation is so much fun! (though, oddly, I can't get my characters to look quite as lifelike as I can on the computer) And it is such a kick to get to see my Sims on the big screen. Plus, you can have as many neighborhoods as you want.
Some things the computer version has that the Xbox version doesn't have: Two-story houses, more career tracks, 8 people to a family instead of 4, 10 families to a neighborhood instead of 6, more objects and decor (though the xBox also has some the computer version doesn't), the ability to go in super-fast mode even when people are at home and awake, etc.
The computer version can hold my attention for 12+ hours at a time; with the xBox I get bored after 2 or 3 (maybe it's because I'm on a nice comfy sofa instead of a hard-backed computer chair, so I fall asleep! *wink*). However, those 2 or 3 hours are a lot of fun. I recommend this game.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Play for HOURS Comment: This game is pretty addicting... I will literally play for hours and hours (and I'm not big into video games)! It's so fun to create your different characters and build your dream house... I played on the computer at a relative's house and really got hooked there, so my husband got the game on XBox for me. It's a little different then the computer version but still just as fun!
