Xbox 360 Critic Reviews

A great fetch that celebrates why we love cute, little animals so much.

Charming and full of content.

Overall, The Sims 3: Pets on the Xbox 360 is a fun and addictive game where the time will fly by and you will not notice it. A few bugs do affect the gameplay from time to time but do seem to be rare.

While it's probably best suited to fans of the franchise, the game's gorgeous animal antics are guaranteed to generate warm fuzzies in all but the coldest of hearts.

The Sims 3: Pets is very recommendable if you're a true animal lover or new to the series.

For gamers who just want a chance to make their own pretty kitty and then watch it scratch up the furniture, The Sims 3 Pets delivers. If you want a Sims experience that builds on previous installments, incorporates your progress from The Sims 3, and actually makes your simulated world more interesting…well, better luck next time.

It's goofy, deeply involving fun.

The Sims 3: Pets is an excellent title also on consoles. Unfortunately a not very user-friendly interface and many loading screens dirty work otherwise flawless.

The Sims 3: Pets won't change the minds of those who had no interest in the series. Due to the lack of some content and performance issues, it also won't convince PC die-hards that a console version can be on par with a computer.

If you already have The Sims 3 for Xbox 360, Pets isn't really worth the full game price tag. If you're a true animal lover or new to the series, a good pick. Be sure to make room on your Xbox harddrive to install the game and keep load times down and performance up.
