The much awaited Sims 3 from EA Sports is finally released world wide on 2^nd June 2009.Has it done justice to its predecessors? I would say more than ever!. The Sims 3 is and would be the most energetic simulation of real life in the history of PC games.

What makes the Sims 3 different from its previous versions is that you can roam around the entire city which was actually tried to achieve in the previous versions but never worked. The game is all about managing the sims (people).They need to socialize, eat, take bath, drink, dance, play, cry, work etc. Though it sounds quite usual and silly this game could stick you to your console for hours.

What makes this game interesting is its AI that makes the interactions between the sims as funny as possible. When sims interact they maintain the personality you have defined for them. Kiss a girl in front of the sim’s wife will make her to give an instant slap. The sims have their own needs, goals and tastes. The funny and expressive animations during the interaction between the sims is very natural and enjoyable.

The sims needs is unending just like humans. They need better housing, furniture, gadgets , jobs and more money. Earning more and buying stuff is the key to make them happy. Your goal doesn’t end with finding a job for your sim. You need to assign a daily mission or goal for them to accomplish. For example if your sim is new to a job socializing among coworkers will ensure extra benefits. If a sim reaches the highest level in his work, he/she would keep winning rewards and additional payments. The sim’s relationship with respective boss would determine the morale of the sim.

The game was designed exclusively for PC gamers and fans of sim series. The game set a record of selling more than 1.3 million copies world wide in its first week of opening. The additional features include creating your own sim. This permits you to set the personality of the sim and adds more fun to the gameplay!
