Not the best in the Sims' console series. I suggest renting the game first and then buying if it was enjoyed.
But, after I played the game for a couple of days it got really boring really fast. And I'm not a hard person to please. I enjoyed the game and tried to get everything out of it...but it just wasn't working. It got hard to keep the Sims' motives up to par and collect the resources at the same time.
It was hard to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to do anything especially building the houses. I did get used to the controls after a while but it still came as a challenge to me at times to use the controls.
The monkeys do not act like butlers. When you finally are able to make one of them go out and get an item for you it's too hard to retrieve that item from them. If you're eating, fishing, or chatting to someone the monkey gets impatient after about two seconds and goes running off with the item. That's happened to me and I wasn't even engaged in an action.
There's weird glitches as well. I can only remember two at this time because I haven't played the game for a long time. The first glitch was when I'd switch to a Sim that was doing an action it would lock the Sim in the spot it was standing in. The only way I could fix that problem was to save & quit.
The second glitch was if I saved before my Sims finished building a house than when I re-loaded the game I wasn't able to build the walls nor build any new ones. I had to tear down the ones that were there, re-load the lot, and then start building again.
These glitches didn't happen often but they happened enough to warrant frustration as well as bring on the bordem.
I would recommend that the game be rented first and then bought if the player liked it.
