The Sims

"Overall a great little game that increases the overall appeal of the Xbox as a game platform and will widen its overall audience."

"The Xbox game makes solid additions and a few improvements to The Sims' basic gameplay--but that gameplay has aged."

"Some games definitely aren't for everyone, but the vast majority of the videogame-loving world is going to adore playing The Sims. There's no doubt about it -- the game is humorous, charming, and very addictive one you figure out how to please your Sim and take care of business."

"While The Sims isn’t a totally radical departure from its PC origins, the Xbox version scores just a tad higher than on the other console version I’ve played, the GameCube, because of its slightly better graphics, more comfortable controller, and easier game save system on the built-in Xbox hard drive. But whatever console you play The Sims on, its new and improved 3D graphical presentation, console-friendly controls, and new single-player and two-player modes make The Sims a sim-sationally fun game that is a splendid addition to The Sims universe."
