Overall this game is much improved over last year’s iteration for the consoles. The graphical presentation and options as well as careers are more interesting and varied. Some of the commands are very fun to watch, a personal favorite being "Towel Snap" and "Booty tease". Personally I enjoy the console games much more than the PC games because of the Get a Life and Bustin' Out modes of play where you really want to unlock it all. The game play in these modes is more like a traditional game where there are goals and rewards and an ending. If you have never played a Sims game I encourage you to rent first as the game is either hit or miss. You'll either be sucked in or end up saying "so what". I have to admit that I am the former.
