Wii Sims 3

Wii Sims 3

EA have finaly created a version of the fun family game for the Wii and now with multi-player options, it takes the Sims to a new level. Of ocurse you can still create any character you want, choose their looks and prsonality, make them as unique as you like but Sims 3 on Wii is different. If you're an experienced PC player you'll need to think again if you cross over to Sims 3 on the Wii.

I was really surprised to find people dissing the game in forums and in some reviews. But the thing all the bad reviews had in common was that they had failed to really dig into this version of Sims to see what made it tick. You have to work at Sims 3 Wii, but If you are prepared to do that, the rewards are outstanding and you reveal a multi layered game of subtely and technique with lots of new functionality and fun.

As with all previous versions of the Sims you can make what you want of your Sims! Evil, paranoid, romantic, or whatever! You’re the one in control of your Sims' destiny, and it's up to you whether those inner most dreams come true or they vanish in a puff of despair. Make your Sims global rock stars, world leaders, or expert thieves? This is the traditonal fun that millions of Sims fans have come to know and love.

One of the great new things in Wii Sims 3 is the "all-new" Karma Power. This gives you the ability to give your Sim everything, or take it away. It's a powerful tool that can bring love, ultimate beauty, money, power...or it can take it all away. You can even control the weather, or worse still send your Sim to the Grim Reaper, but be oh so careful with this power!

The new Wii Sims 3 allows for multiplayer mode so you can play Wii Sims 3 with your friends in the new co-op mode. But be careful bacuse your frieds may help you, but they may just hold you back as well! Multi-player allows for up to four players in the Life Moments Game where you can all earn rewards.

Wii Sims 3 Beach Town, new charaters and features!

I really like the new Beach Town area. with lots of new residents, traits, careers, weather, and lifetime wishes and this is exclusive for the Wii Sims 3.  Is Beach Town Home and Away? Well, now Sims has arrived on the Wii there are certainly even more options to help create your own interactive soap opera, while you either pamper or torment the people in your very own virtual Beach Coomunity.

As I said The Sims 3 on Wii lets you create your own character with unique personality, desires and life goals - and I really liked the new mini-challenges like trying to get your first kiss or find your best friend for life.

There are also great new and very powerful tools to customise your Sim, the homes they live in (new pre fab quick build is fun) and fill the city with your own creations. You can even go online and choose from a huge library of downloadable new objects and designs from other players and you can share your own Sims with other fans.

Also while guiding your Sim though your world you can unlock addictional items, new buildings and landmarks. As previously there are many adventure quests in the game too. For example you can challenge your Sim to explore their town and find hidden secrets.

Key Features

Simsville has all the features from the PC games and lots more as well. Plus the graphics on Wii and online communities are really excellent.

Create-a-Sim - Create and mould your own Sims exactly as you want, even down to facial features and clothing preferences to personality types and setting life goals.

Karma Chameleon is a really fun new "Power". Karma Power can either give your Sim a helping hand with power ups such as 'instant beauty'(not fair it is?), 'get lucky', 'love connector' and 'age definer'... or you can punish your Sim with 'epic fails', 'alien abductions' or as I said earlier set the Grim Reaper onto them…however, beware use this new power wisely! This has become a theme in gaming recently to allow huge power but...to also have unexpected results of such use - you have been warned!


Build and Share -  This is great. Join the online Sims community you can download items and Sims' other people have created as well as upload your own creations and share them with fans around the world. This is an amazing new feature that is sure to expand the horizons of Wii Sims 3 far beyond anything seen in Sims before. This is what I mean about new dimensions in Wii Sims 3 and why I can't understand the odd negative review that's around?

Format Specific - This is another great innovation that allows your friends to know what you’re doing on Facebook using the new direction control method on Wii.

To conclude, I think experienced Sims players felt they should just be able to pick up Wii Sims 3 and play at the same level they have been used to, but Wii Sims 3 does need a bit of exploration even for experienced Sims players. So, don't be put off by any bad reviews you do see because if you put the effort in you are really rewarded with an outstanding new variation on the Sims theme. yes, it did take a bit of time to get used to and dig in to, but it was well worth it once I'd worked out the new dimensions of Wii Sims 3. Now I really love this version of Sims and you will too!
