Also, the cursor to move people is a innovative idea, but isn't that great. The first hour is fun to play but then the game gets just plain stale. I gave the sims plenty of chances, I bought it on pc, then on Xbox, hoping it would get better. The graphics are horrible, Sound is bad, Music sucks, and worst of all, I get tired of it in a few hours. Overall: I never saw what people see special in The Sims, to me it is just a cheap franchise. For the most part the audio is just basic sounds that get repeated. To me it makes no difference having surround sound in this game since it doesn't seem to make use of it. Your screen has a lot to look at most of the time, but items aren't in great detail. Actions by the characters are not fluid and can be choppy at times. Not too much detail is shown in any aspect of the game. You also interact with different characters and your actions can alter the types of relationships that you have. Get a bigger house or various other aspects of your surroundings can be changed with money.
You can choose jobs and you earn money that can be used to upgrade things around you. You have to point onto different objects throught the house and then choose an action to occur. Gameplay: The game involves your character interacting with the environment. The purpose is to guide a chacter through different parts of life.
The person doing most of the gaming is my gf and she had never played the PC version.
Overall: This game is based on the PC version of the game by the same name. Hell nothing about this game deserves a 1. It just doesn't get any more lame than the sound. Sound: Horrible noises for dialog, annoying music, bad sound effects. It doesn't deserve the right to be on Xbox.
Graphics: Hm.The Sims which first appeared on PC looks graphically better than this one. They set the house on fire, you watch them act like morons. You go into a hottub, they talk, you watch. Gameplay: You play God and control the most idiotic AI humas ever put into a video game. Can someone tell me why this game is the most bought PC game ever made? How can people be entertained by the same thing over and over and over? EA and Maxis really need to stop making these games. Overall: Another incanation of the most boring game to ever hit the planet.
