Why do I get the feeling that EA ripped coding straight from TS1 to make TS3? because some of those screenshots look identical to the screenshots commonly found in any TS1 game for PC...anyone else think that or is that just me?

thank you maniac19642003 for posting those screen shots.




those are the suckiest and most replusive graphics/sims i have ever seen in my days they look like  thank god i did'nt preorder it or ever buying it. those screen shots make me wanna puke lol.

SimGirl20, I have to agree with you. That last screenshot in particular is very Sims 1-ish

[SimGirl20]

Yes they do Ali, and for some reason I don't think these screenshots are real because I looked on the official site and these are not shown..don't you think that the site would have the screens as well if they were real? even if by chance they aren't fakes if I get the game and they look that crappy then the game and I will be taking a fast ride to refunds-ville..

I think the shots are real and the sims in the shots look just like that in the game. Very disappointing I know

Do they let you take games back now?  Only way they do here is if the plastic wrap isn't broken.

Investment in a shrink wrap machine may be the best purchase you've made in awhile.
