Brilliant!

This game takes the Sims to the next level and delivers an experience that will not disappoint. There is a new perspective on the game simply by opening up beyond the typical "lot" environment. It is easy to get lost in all of the new features and customizable appearances.
You will find yourself taking notice of the little things like the ability to modify your sims personalities and the challenges are less of a hassle in this game. Though I have not tested the game with the integrated X3100 graphics card. The newer macbook's graphics card works very well and this game is defiantly something to put in your cart. …More412 of 452 people found this useful

The Sims 3
Deeply infatuating, highly amazing

I ended up skipping right from The Sims, ie, the original release, to The Sims 3, never getting to play the second version. I don't think I ever will be able to, either, considering how absolutely amazing this game is. I *love* it, and, although it took a while for me to pick up on the controls, especially as I was using a new Macbook laptop and so I had to learn them with a trackpad I wasn't even used to yet, I did pick it up with sufficient efficiency, and now can play the game easily, simply on instinct.
The graphics are *amazing*, and I think the way they designed the trait system is brilliant, somehow being both quite versatile, and easy to understand. The amount of customization is awesome, although at times overwhelming, and, if you get too elaborate (as I often do), you could spend hours fine-tuning the *perfect* sim, or creating the *perfect* house. Thankfully, though, if you don't want to do that, they have plenty of pre-made sims, pre-made houses, or simpler ways to create your own. I just, you know, get way too into things..
My friend is already addicted to it, just from playing from time to time on my computer. Though, I do worry about that a little, as, I got my computer only a short while before the game was originally released, and, since she's running a pretty old (PC), and the game looks so hardcore, there's a good chance it won't work. Plus she needs to buy a DVD drive.
Regardless, this game is fantastically amazingly awesome, and I cannot wait for the World Adventures expansion to be released~ …More8 of 8 people found this useful

This game ROX!
Written by LG from Houston

Ok, so I love the Sims.
Pros: The Sims 3 is so AMAZING. You can make a Sim of yourself, and it actually looks like you!! There are more traits to pick, and the Sims have Lifetime Wishes and they have free will, so when you don't play with them, they take care of themselves. But one of my favorite things is that you get to customise everything. Basically everything is so lifelike that you will get sucked into the Sims for so long.
Cons: It uses a lot of battery, so always have your computer plugged into a power source to keep the fun going. …More15 of 17 people found this useful

The Sims 3
Love it, but it will take your time, and battery too!
Written by KR from Haiku

I bought Sims 3 right when it came out. Unfortunately I didn't read the fine print, that it didn't work with Tiger, which is the operating system on my old macbook. REAL BUMMER! So it was another 3 months before I could actually play the game on my new macbook pro. And no, I didn't get the new computer just so I could play the game. There were other reason. Although I did have extra ram put in so that there would be no question of the Sims freezing, as other laptop users have reported. Now I happily waste my time controlling the lives of computer people, and I love it! unfortunately it does drain the battery rather fast, but oh well. …More
