Little to do, ambiguous menus mar this ambitious iPhone game

Some game companies try to build games for the iPhone from the ground up. Others take titles from other platforms and try to cram them into the small iPhone box. EA Mobile is definitely of the latter category, and attempts once again to cram the complexities of its high-end computer games into the iPhone platform. The company’s ambition is to be complimented, but its implementation leads something to be desired.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Sims 3

This app packs a hefty price tag when it does so little entertaining. There isn't a lot to do in this tiny Sim-world. I find my days are all the same. I go to work, I eat, I sleep. Sometimes I go fishing but my Sims life is pretty boring. There are only a hand-full of other townspeople to interact with so that might be the reason. Your choices in this game are limited. You do get to build your own character but as to your choice of living arrangements, you get none. There are a few jobs to be had. I played through the game a few times when I first purchased it and died relatively quickly each time. Maybe it is just me, though.


Great!

I really enjoyed the Sims 3. It is my first sims game ever and I loved every last bit of it. The graphics are great and it keeps you entertained for a long time. I just do not like the hefty price tag of 9.99. Otherwise, great job E.A!
