Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good and bad
I like this game, but it is really only good for one person to play at a time. You have to make your way through the challenges and remember where you found items. There is not an option for another player to have a game going to save their own progress. It is fun, but would prefer to have multiple profiles to play with.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Alright, not as good as Sims2 for the PC
Just like my title said, I found this game to be not as good as The Sims 2 for the PC.

Traditional Sim "motives" to keep a sim happy
Make your own home

Cons:
Clunky controls and interface
Bugs still present in published game
Repetitiveness of gathering can become pretty tedious
A little too short for overall playtime

I'm an avid ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Neat Game
I've enjoyed playing this game. It takes a little bit to get used to it on Wii since i'm used to PC Sims but I like it.
