Guys how is the Sims 3?

Since i am away from gaming for the past few days i am unable to get my hands on that game. As far as some reviews i read, its looking good but one of my friend told me that the game sucks to donkey balls. Is it so?

Coz i am a hardcore fan of Sims series. Please tell me how ya all feel about the game.

With the below config, at what settings can i able to play the game?

E7400 @ 3.2GHz on stock
2GB DDR2
7600GS 256MB

I dont care a lot about eye-candy but still dont like some polygon a$$ as characters.
How the game looks like in low settings? Like a crap? or like Sims 2. If then i am so glad to play that.

Sims 3 fast, brief and informative review :-


Graphics :-
They got better! Hell yeah! They are better than Sims 2.. not by much but still they have noticeably improved. The game is better optimised and runs better than the previous Sims on all maxed (even the 3rd speed dosent gimme any FPS lag! ). Reflections are added to water bodies and the overall graphics look much more better. Apart from the main loading screen of the game, there is no loading time to speak of as such. Everything happens real time. Like you want to goto a lot.. no problems and no loading times. You can see your sim go around the town in a cab/vehicle in real time. Its much, much better!

Sound :-
It's improved too! There are much more sound tracks to choose from and custom music is officially supported. The Sims still talk in Simlish (or w/ever its called) but it's fun to listen to. The guitar playing sounds much more pleasent as you go up in the skill ladder. Sadly, they removed the rock/metal genres from the game... dunno why coz they are the most popular genres currently.. sad . Still its quite a blast! And even some Mozzart compositions have been thrown in.

Gameplay :-
ITS HUGE. Believe me, you will be baffled by the amount of stuff that's in the game. There is just so much to do. The create Sim thing has been given a boost with more clothes and customising options. Instead of personality/turn-ons and turn-offs, there is the new trait system. You gotta select a number of traits depending on the age and thats basically how your sim will behave. There are many traits to choose from. Your main aspiration in life will depend on the traits... like I made this Sim have Evil, Evil mentality, Genius and Computer Whiz as traits and his main wish is to become a Criminal Mastermind . The buy/build menu has given a boost too. Now, the stuff is sorted out in room to room manner and its very easy and fun to buy stuff. The mood/needs system has been made much more forgivable so instead of just running around trying comtemplate to your sims' needs, you can actually spend time to explore the game and expand your sims' skills. You have the new oppurtunities system. Depending on your skill level and career, your sim will get oppurtunities... ful-fulling them rewards you sim with either cash/some stuff/relationship bonus or career bonus. The overall game has been also expanded. You can go anywhere in real time. You can just click on your neighbours house and select 'enter' and your sims will run/walk/go in a car to that place and you can actually see it! You can buy books for yourself and now there is no need to buy a phone bcoz every sims has a cell phone from the beginning.. yay! This game has no limits, no boundries and no ends! JUST ****ING AMAZING!

Overall :-
Go play it .

7600GS can play it on High IMO. The game is not hardware intensive.

I just got it. Man I'm so excited to play this game. I loved all it's movies & also followed it's cartoons for a long time now. Let's see how the game fares. I'm so pissed that they removed the multi-player component from PC version. F*uck you ATARI. :-x

Played the game briefly for like an hour now & guess what "Bustin' makes me feel good." I'm not sure how many Ghostbuster fans we have out here, but this game is worth a shot. The frames are a bit bouncy, but nothing that would make it totally unplayable. Graphics are amazing. The best part about the game so far is the hilarious dialogues. Since the original cast have reprised their roles, it's great to hear those 80's cheesy dialogues again. :smile:

I'll spend some more time with it & let you guys know how it works out. Still have some time before I complete PROTOTYPE. So one game at a time. ;-)

@Sun - What 'bout Ultimate Spider-Man? And is Spiderman: WoS good? Great? Awesome? Please tell me, and one thing, how long is the campaign??

Calm down buddy! There's nothing to go hyper.

Ultimate Spiderman is pretty good. You should try it first before playing Spiderman: Web Of Shadows.
Ultimate Spiderman campaign is pretty long but I don't know about Spiderman: Web Of Shadows.

Cheers!

If I remember correct, Assassin's Creed is just 7-8 hours long game and this pal is playing it for over 2 months now.
Did any expansion pack come out lately? :D

@Sun - No expansion packs. But I don't want any game complete faster, especially Assassin's Creed, 'cause I'm in love with Altair! I mean, you know what I mean? I'm plannin' to play it until ACII comes out! The moves, the animations & the graphics seduced me to love it.
@Psycho - Sure! No prob., I shall play it all my life, i.e. after I play Crysis! Love ye Nomad!

I can't wait for MW2 & ACII, is there any latest news??
