If you can play Sims 3 on PC.Then it would be best to do that,but if you can't.Don't think twice to get this !
Game-play: Game-play ( Of course ) is fun and addictive. It amazing how fast 6 hours will go bye while playing Sims 3.Making a family and taking them threw life is a blast. Each Sim is different in there own way, with traits. You can pick up to 6 traits per sim. Those traits can make you're Sim , brave, Insane and much more. The create a Sim is in depth, you can make them look just like you're self (if you wish ).That also goes for the Build a house mode, its in depth to, you can do what ever you want with it.
Graphics: Well, overall they are great. But its Sims, you're never going to see a graphic beast. You'll see some graphic glitches, but not allot. The Frame-rate does slow down a little bit once you load the game up with a nice house and big family.
Controls: The controls work like a charm. They are very awkward at first, but once you get use to them, they work perfect.
Here is the only bad things I found in the game: The worst of all is that you can only make 1 family per save, so you can't create you're neighbors. and if you want to move you're kid out, anyone left behind will be deleted from the game. And here is something "bad" ,you can't buy a empty lot right from the start, you got to buy a pre-built house, then replace it with a empty lot, that's not a big deal though. And some un-lucky people could have a "game-breaking" glitch when you get deep into the game. It freeze's while saving. But this doesn't happen to everyone.
Even with those "bad" things, I still recommend this game to everyone. Its something a gamer should never miss.
Overall: If you can get past a few frame-rate slow-downs and some glitches. This game is Amazing. But the PC version will all-ways be better, IF you're PC can run it.
