The Sims

"This is ok game with bad controls"

Graphics: 7/10
The Graphics are good with the full 3D environment. They look like if you were there. Everything just doesn't look good. The Xbox has a much higher graphic capability. The peoples face don't look like they should or what they did on the PC version of this game. Maxis could have done a lot better with this. There are different views you can look from just like on the PC version.

Sound: 7/10
It gets to me when the Sims talk in there own language. It sounds to me that they are just blabbing on. The music when you are buying items or fix your house is kind of annoying when you play it for a while. The sounds of when you are making food or taking a shower sound somewhat real to what they would sound like in real life.

Game play: 6/10
The game play for the Xbox version lacks in the use of the control, sometimes you want to bring out the mouse and keyboard. The good thing about the consol version of The Sims is that you have many different modes to choose from. You can also play multiplayer, which is fun when you don't want to play the regular type. The main mode for the Xbox is quiet fun and lets you build goals and move into new homes. You have goals and you have to complete them before you move on to the next stage. You also need to complete this mode to unlock most items in the game. There are new items in the game, different from the computer version. Overall on game play you need Maxis need to improve the controls and make the game more fun and like the PC version.

Replay: 10/10
The replay of this game is very high because you can play and never really be board with it. You also can have a lot of fun in the multiplayer mode with friends. You can do many things and never get boring.

Overall: 7.5/10
This game could improve by making the game fell likes its PC counterpart. This game is not what it could be.
