Shaping your Sims and building their lives in the open neighbourhood of Sunset Valley opens a simulation where nothing is ever rushed: careers to climb, homes to furnish, generations to follow. The absence of any imposed goal lets the player extend the experience as long as they wish, and online sharing keeps the ideas fresh. It's that open freedom that forged the series' time-consuming reputation.
A console adaptation from Maxis, The Sims 3 brings the famous life simulator to PS3 with an open neighbourhood you roam without loading times, Sims with personalities defined by character traits and a wish system guiding progression. The richness of the social simulation, the creative freedom and the deep customisation stay captivating. The pad interface lacks the PC's suppleness and some features are streamlined. A good game for fans of life simulation, management and domestic creativity on PS3.
