A Game that have the potential and with a great idea, but its features, some bugs tends to hit you but tolerable.
The graphics are nice, made simple in a way but with nice effects, as a cartoon environment but with more complex things and colorful too.
The sound is decent, of course noisy with all the noise of the animals.
Controls, well, they are ok, the first stage could be a little challenging for the first try but also in the other stages, just that with the bugs it might prove nothing or life threatening, as i explain, one bug that the creature might be unresponsive or climbing a hill will stop you completely so to continue i had to turn and go up again to climb.
Replay, depends on the person, for me i would play it again to try everything, and what creatures i like creating, the micromanagement is ok with me, since its simple, the quests are ok but not enough variety.
And for the other stuff i wanted to say about the features, the quests are not to many, we need a loading menu list and a saving list, because quitting and restarting the game is not thrilling. Well, i forgot the rest but this are the 2 things i had in my mind.
Even so with EA reputation and bad management as a publisher, and so goes on with developers and EA, as who knows what is actually happening behind scenes the outcome of games will come out sloppy. Also Maxis loosing both games Sim City and Sims to EA, as of which Sim City lost the philosophy and the "Sim City" stuff when it was made by another developer, Sim City societies, like the dumb version of sim city. Hopefully Sims 3 won't suffer the same fate.
