Sims 3 - Everything I Expected & More!!
I had been wanting this game since the very first mention of it a few years back, so imagine my excitement when I was finally able to purchase it! Thankfully it wasn't wasted energy. I absolutely love this game! The graphics are amazing. I love the free-roam feature. If you've been unsure about this.. definitely buy it!

Great Game!!
Really enjoy playing this game in my down time. It has great graphics and the amount of choices you can make on each object is amazing. Anyone that has enjoyed the first couple will really enjoy what they can do in this one.

Needs more testing!
This game was completely spoiled for me by appalling technical difficulties. I write computer device drivers for a living and play games alot so I'm well capable of exploring every possibility for getting a game working. I have two machines with two different graphics cards and "The Sims 3" crashed constantly on both machines. Both these machines well exceeded the specs published on the box. I tried to return the game but found that of course these days, PC games can only be returned if the disc is physically damaged not if the game just doesn't work as designed. I tried to sell the game second hand to recoup some of the money I'd spent on this poorly tested waste of a game but of course, because the game utilises evil anti piracy software (which only affect honest users because actual pirates can trivially work round them of course) the game couldn't be resold. EA's technical support simply consists of a preium line phone automated phone service which you'd be crazy to use.
All in all, I will never buy another EA game, I suspect you get much better service from the pirates on the internet that you do from this dodgy organisation who take your money and run after selling you a lemon.

I should have listened....
I read all of the reviews and thought to myself maybe you all were being too critical, so I decided to buy the game despite how many reviews I have read. WRONG! OMG, it is the worst game from EA I have ever bought.
Like every other people said, it is a complete different from the Sims 1 and 2. The sim whom I created looks completely different from when I made it. The neighborhood looks great but... can't modify it like I used to on the Sims 1 and 2. Oh and even I paused the game while building the stupid house... the other sims still aging (wtf?) The only good thing about the building feature is that you are able to build a fully function basement w/o using any cheats. I can almost never look at the house straight, meaning the camera view is always at an angle... Basically, in all 3 sims games, the sims 2 seems to be the best game ever and the sims 3 is the worst one ever!
The aging off and story progression off button are not working so don't even think about it.
Don't buy it if you want to waste your money for something you would get bored after 1 try. This game should not be named the Sims 3. The game has 80% control over everything leaving you with 20% control where in the other sims 1 and 2, you basically has almost the ultimate power over your sims and the neighborhood.

I Simply love the Sims!
This game is awesome, and the process of purchase was perfect. Everything on time and well received. Excellent.
