Sims for Xbox

The Sims, a casual gaming series initially released on PC, broke records when it was first released and is now known as the most popular PC game ever. Something about the addictive nature of the game drew in people who didn't normally play computer games. The series was a big seller immediately, especially among the female demographic, and there are many reasons for its popularity and longevity.

The game begins when you create a Sim. These Sims have unique personalities, which you can control or let the game set them randomly, as well as a variety of appearances. You can create Sims that are creative, intellectual, lazy or even evil. The goal of the Sims isn't success so much as it is entertainment. You then place each Sim into a household, with other Sims of your choosing. In later games, you can even control the relationships they have with other Sims.

Building the architecture of the houses is similarly handled, and the player has many ways to customize and decorate their home. Not only do they have to consider the home's appearance, but they also have to consider the efficiency by which the little Sims will be able to complete their tasks within the home.

You can direct your Sims in a variety of actions, such as getting a job, learning a trade, or even falling in love. But the real fun comes when you simply let the Sims interact with each other. Their personalities, combined with a basic artificial intelligence, will get them into many unique and sometimes even dangerous situations.

The Sims series is known for its large variety of expansion packs, all of which can either work independently or altogether. Players can buy packs that add pets, weather, holidays, or even just more furniture. While some have criticized the Sims for its abundant expansions, the average Sims review rates the expansions quite highly.
