Fun:   
I have been playing The Sims since the first game came out on release day so I have a more than a couple years in now. I previously purchased The Sims 3 for the PC and also on the Xbox 360. If you are accustomed to playing The Sims on the computer, the Xbox version will be a bit of a change for you. There is some missing functionality that you might be accustomed to. But I find that it is still a very entertaining game and one of the few games in this genre available on the 360 console.

Here are my findings so far. Please let me know if I got any of this wrong!

Some things I was disappointed about:

*Still no edit town button on the town screen. I like to fill the town with my created sims vs. the developer created ones. Could not find a way to do this on the Xbox version.
*Maintaining/deleting unwanted downloaded clothing and items is still a pain. Why can't I delete unwanted content from the Edit Sim screen???
*This is not an expansion pack, it is a completely separate game. So be ready to say goodbye to the sims you created in the Xbox version of The Sims. Time to create some new ones. I was hoping for an import option from one game to the other sort of the way Fable or Mass Effect works. Missed opportunity here in my opinion.

And here are some things I liked:

*The pets are really great. By far the best pets experience you will have in The Sims so far. Being able to control the pets adds a lot to the game. There are no horses in the console version but that doesn't bother me personally. I'm more of a cat person.
*The Digging and Hunting options for the dog and cat are really fun!
*There are some sort of town mysteries that you can figure out. I didn't get to try these out much last night, but they seem like they could be fun.
*I really like the new town, much better than in the previous Xbox game. There are a lot of nice parks and it seems like there is more open space between lots.
*The Karma Powers are just as cool as on the first 360 game, but there are even more of them now.
*Challenge Points are a great way to make you try out everything the game has to offer.
*Achievement Points. Need I say more?

Overall I find this game to be a great addition to my Xbox game library. It might not be able to compete with the PC version in expandability and configurability, but what console game can? If you don't have a computer fast enough to play the PC version, buy this. If you like playing games on the console instead of the computer, then give it a try. It's fun!

Fun:   
The Sims 3 Pets is a great new addition to my collection of games for my Xbox 360. The console version of the game adds cats, dogs, town mysteries, new karma powers, and many other exciting new items and features to the game. The fact that you can control the pets makes for a lot of new and exciting activities to do in the game and will surely keep any lover of The Sims busy for hours on end. You'll often find yourself trying to get your cat to go hunting or making your dog dig holes in the neighbor's yard. The Sims themselves also have new actions in the game, such as, digging for items and they can also now invent. They can even teach their pets tricks, which to me is very fun.

Even though the game adds all of these great new features it still lacks in a couple departments. Firstly it's a standalone console game, you're not going to be able to use it as an add-on to your previous Sims 3 console game. This isn't a huge problem since the Pets version seems to have so much included, but it still would had been nice. Also the game itself seems to be very "glitchy" at times, for instance often times when I'm having my Sim carry a pet around the pet will just float in midair beside them. Sometimes the Sims also seem to freeze up for a while at certain times when doing small tasks like filling a pet bowl, it always straightens out fairly quickly, but it can still be a bother. Most of the small problems though will most likely be patched with an update so don't let them stop you from giving the game a try!

Altogether I think this game is a very fun and should be added to any Sim lover's collection.

Yay!!! Console Sims 3! January 25, 2012

Fun:   
I am a recovering Sims 2 addict, played endless hours on my PC. I was so disappointed when I found out my 2 year old laptop didn't meet the minimum requirements for the Sims 3. A year or so ago, I got Sims 3 for DS and was completely bored and disappointed. A few weeks ago, I tried it on Wii - horrible! I started reading some reviews about the Sims on console and decided to try the XBox version - OMG, I am so glad I didn't just give up. I love it, this may be the beginning of a new addiction :) Yes, it takes some getting used to the controls, and the only custom content I have been able to find so far is through the Exchange (and seem to just be recolors of existing items) BUT the selection is huge compared to what was available for Wii (which seemed to be nothing) and controls are far superior than the Wii version. Just FYI-Pets is a stand alone game, you don't need the original Sims 3 to play this one.
