    Advantages Advantages Great fun to play, 2 player

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Addictive, no children!

    ~~~~The Sims 2- Fun, addictive and highly enjoyable to play!~~~~ I received the Sims 2 as a Christmas present last year, I had been looking forward to checking out the sequel after previously playing the Sims 1 pc version. I was going to have the new Sims 2 on pc, but found out that my computer was not to date and would not be able to play the game. So I decided to have the play station 2 version in the hope that it would be just as fun as i had heard the pc version was. And this is what I found out: - If you have never played this game before, basically you are controlling a 'sim' through ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very playable, live a lifestyle you only dream of

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very time consuming if you let it, runs slowly on my laptop

    Have had this game for some time now (over a year) but have had a bit of a break in review writing. If you read my previous review on The Sims you will see that the way I play the game hasn't really changed much. I still base my Sims on myself & my partner, it took me some time to get the features right so we look quite alike. The graphics are much improved so they look more realistic. Some of the people I've spoken to about The Sims (2) have asked "What's the point?" Compared to other games, the "point" isn't as clearly defined. You're not in a race to win, you're not fighting or shooting ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very long game, quite realistic in the way of needs.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No children, no aging.

    I first played this game round a friends house a few years ago, and I was hooked the minute I picked up the controller. In my opinion it is definitely one of the greatest Sim games (Sims 2 PC has to be the best, but PS2 is a close second), and maybe one of my favourite games ever. I found controlling the sims movements rather than just clicking somewhere and them moving a great improvement, it provides the player with alot more freedom and interaction. In story mode, the game is very long and challenging, but that means more playing-time and more things to unlock! The more tasks you complete ... more

    Advantages Advantages Much more customisation of your character and your world

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Single floor houses, no children

    Welcome back to the world of the Sims! For those who aren't addicts like me, a quick intro... The Sims is a God game where you create your playing character(s) from hair colour down to trainer colour, then insert them into a neighbourhood where you are set free to do whatever your heart desires. You may wish to be a social butterfly, you may wish to be a "slacker", you may wish to have a massive brood of children. You build your home (or move into a pre-built one) and decorate/carpet/furnish as you can afford to. You choose your career and by gaining life skills ... more

    Advantages Advantages good graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow loading

    I have always been a fan of the sims since it was released on PC, however I don't think any other console lives up the computer version. This sims two on computer has the ability to have kids and watch them grow up, which is one of the main features, however I was disappointed to find that the Playstation version was the same as the original sims but in 3D. The game takes ages to load especially when trying to customize your characters. However on the Playstation version there is a storyline running through it where you have to meet goals to move onto the next stage. Eventually you progress ... more
