The Sims (Mac)

Pros: Very FUN! Easy to learn, family oriented.
Cons: NONE!

This game was bought for me as a gift. I thought it looked cute from the get go, but when I actually got to PLAY with it I was in love! Very adorable, no stress, no pressure. I'm a big game fan and get into the heavy games like Everquest and other...

Pros: Get to control the lives of virtual people
Cons: Takes up so much time

The Sims is the most incredible game Ive ever played. In the game, you do everything, from building a house, to creating families, to controlling their lives. You could spend hours deciding how your "dream house" is going to look. After building one,...

Pros: Hours of fun
Cons: Graphics could be better.

The Sims is an amazingly good game. I have to admit, it was very fun and I played it for hours. The jobs and situations are so real. Maybe not the amounts of money involved- $40 for a pizza? But still, the Sims is a very good game and I am really...

Pros: Great fun, new kind of sim game.
Cons: Cheating will ruin it for you, like any other game.

The Sims sounded like a great game because at the time there was nothing like it. Actually, I don't think there is still. It's a great idea to build your home and Sim from scratch. If you played any of the Sim City games then it's like getting ultra...

Pros: A fun, entertaining game
Cons: Can get a bit boring and repetitive sometimes

The Sims is an ideal game for... a) the young at heart or b) those who enjoy bossing others around. In this high-tech version of playing dollhouse, you are given the opportunity to design a family of Sims, complete with individual outfits,...

Pros: The game is very fun
Cons: The game is also very addictive

The Sims is a somewhat new idea for the gaming world. Most of the games put out today entail noting but blood and violence. However The Sims does not include blood and gore, but the enjoyment of a challenge and the option of using your brain to play a...

Pros: Entertaining and addictive!
Cons: Occasionally crashes

I've been hooked on Sim games for years, and I eagerly awaited the arrival of The Sims. I was not disappointed. This is by far the best simulation game by EA so far.

The Sims has an excellent tutorial that gets you up and going in no...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, animation. Very Very fun at first. Unique and totally different game. The Sims webpage has lots of cool things you can download.
Cons: gets boring after a while once you figure out theres no point

From the creators of SimCity (you could tell by the name) comes a new game that is unlike any other game you have ever played. Seriously. This is the most unique game I have ever played, and trust me Ive played a lot of games. But does that mean...

Pros: The game always changes.
Cons: You can't have more than one game going at a time.

My fiance, Chris, and I purchased this game on a whim. Needless to say, we spent the entire weekend playing it.

The instruction booklet that came with the game is like a novel in itself. Yet, it is very easy to understand and is rather...

Pros: FUN!
Cons: Time consuming

Perhaps the best thing out of Maxis since the original Sim City, The Sims is the choice game that remains in my cd-rom and almost everyone else I know agrees with me. The reason is simple, control. Relationships, careers, and what is for dinner is the...

Pros: Addictive, Fun, Humorous
Cons: Too Addictive? Unrealistic measure of time.

Like just about any other Sim game (Sim City, etc.) The Sims is quite addictive. You'll want to play it though because it's really something else. In case you've never seen or heard of this game, I'll explain the game-play a little. You control the...

Pros: Great time killer, great playability.
Cons: Lose track of time, get in trouble at work, etc.

A game of this caliber very rarely comes along. It's Saturday morning 10am and you've got nothing better to do. You pull out "The Sims" and start playing. You're begin by finding a sim job, say pro athlete. You have your little sim go to work as team...

Pros: good game for the computer, Multi-lingual, and very New!
Cons: If you don't have a semi-fast computer don't buy this.

its So fun, its hard to explain, basically it reminds me of an Interactive Dollhouse to make kids learn about Grown Up responsibilities, plus for adults its just fun to play with people's lives. you have to make them get a job, pay the bills, learn...

Pros: Great graphics and addicting fun
Cons: sometimes computer slows to a crawl; slightly buggy

I must admit, when I opened the pages of one of my computer magazines I saw a 2-page ad about The Sims. Now, I've never even tried SimCity (any version) or any other sim
game but SimTower (but still have never completed even ONE tower yet!)
but...

Pros: Good graphics, online sharing
Cons: after awhile it gets boring

About a year ago I decided that I wanted to get this game. I wanted to because it seemed like it would be fun to be able to make little characters do whatever you want them to. I opened it up, installed it, and I was astonished. It is so cool because you...
