The Sims 3 is highly addictive, and while it does have some set-backs, I enjoy playing it.

User Rating: 9 | The Sims 3 PS3
The Sims 3 is a creative, interactive, and all-in-all fun world to play in. While it does have minor set-backs, such as the house fire meter and indirect control, it is a very addictive game with lots of unique and individual choices for the player to make. You can create everything from your sim, to your house, to your skills and lifestyle. With so many choices, I am addicted to it and tend to lose track of time as I'm playing. This is not a game to be picked up simply because you want to pass a couple of minutes playing a game, be prepared to play for a while at a time if you really want to get the whole experience.
Your job, skills, and the way your world looks are all up to you, and your sim will be affected by all of these. Your job can be chosen depending on your life-time goal, but can also be chosen if it's just something you want your sim to try.
I recommend this game to fans of the series and to people that have never picked up a Sims game before, it is highly addictive and fun to play!
