    Unlike its more linear console predecessors, The Sims 3 port offers a truly faithful translation of the open-world PC hit. The controller-integrated interface may seem daunting at first, but the game does a great job of hand-holding by using succinct tutorials as you progress through the early stages. You'll be flying between sub-menus, rotating the camera, and forcing your Sim to eat spoiled mac & cheese like a pro in no time.

    As a launch title, it’s frustrating that the game’s 3DS features aren’t better tuned. And the profuse number of bugs make it tough to take your Sim’s life seriously—after a while, you’ll likely just throw up your hands and resign to coming up with maniacal ways of ending his or her life. The game suffers most from trying to be a fully featured Sims game on a platform that just can’t sustain it, thus making even its high points little better than mediocre.
