Reception of the sims 3

EA reported that in its first week, The Sims 3 sold 1.4 million copies. According to EA, this represents the most successful PC game launch the company has ever had. According to retail data trackers Gfk Australia The Sims 3 has been the top selling game in Australia from release until June 21. Critical response was generally favorable, with Metacritic calculating a metascore of 87% based on 47 reviews. PC Gamer awarded The Sims 3 a 92% and an Editor's Choice badge, calling it "The best Sims game yet". IGN PC awarded The Sims 3 an 8.9/10, stating: "This is simply a better playing Sims experience, and once you experience the freedom to hit the town without hitting a load screen you’ll be hard-pressed to go back to any of the earlier games". The review also said the following: "Blowing up the size of the game was certainly a risk, but it was a sensible and overdue one, and kudos to EA for recognizing that the decade-old formula needed some growth. And while there’s still plenty of room for more innovation, we’ll settle for The Sims 3 for now. It delivers a solid foundation for what should be many more years of Sims sales dominance". GameSpot awarded The Sims 3 a score of 9.0/10, the review praised the game: "The latest Sims game is also the greatest, striking a terrific balance between the fresh and the familiar." To date The Sims 3 has sold 5.9 million copies.

The Sims 3: Ambitions


The Sims 3: Ambitions is the second expansion pack for the strategic life simulation computer game The Sims 3. It was announced on The Sims 3 website on March 4, 2010. The Sims 3: Ambitions is stated by EA to expand gameplay by allowing players to control Sims at their jobs. While The Sims 3 did allow for indirect control over sims at work, it didn't have much effect on the Sims' lives. EA also says that the expansion pack will allow players to assert more control over the neighbourhood in careers such as Architecture and Stylist. In addition, new skills such as inventing and sculpting will be included.
