SimFans have posted videos of their time at GamesCom, including gameplay videos of The Sims 3 for Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS.

Xbox 360


Nintendo DS


What do you think? I love how the 360/PS3 game plays, but I wish there weren't loading screens between areas.

Both look great.
I wish console didnt have loading screens between areas, but at least they're short.
I also don't like the cursor for consoles. It stands out way to much.
I liked the cursor in the sims bustin out



DS looks great considering it's a DS game, which makes it limited. But I wish that the video showed more gameplay instead of just buy/build mode.

The cursor in The Sims: Bustin' Out was less in your face whereas the one for The Sims 3 is a bit big.

Bustin' Out was my favourite game for console, I wish they would do a sequel.

I agree. Bustin' Out was the best console sims game ever made.
It was also the first sims game I ever owned

Wow! The DS version actually looks surprisingly indepth, seeing as its a DS game, I might have to buy that :D

I think its weird on the xbox version that the town turns into a 'cartoon' when you zoom out, but i guess its not that bad, I assume thats the same as the ps3 version?
(I liked that hair he made the sim wear, that isn't in the pc version is it??)


I never played bustin' out, but I loved sims urbz ;D

everybody always talks about how good bustin out is, hahah it makes me feel left out cus i never played it

The wii version got delayed till November 8th.
