Ima start out with saying if you want to talk about the computer game then do that on another page.Dont come to the ps2 version's page and complain that its not like the computer game.

I like this game.One of the first ps2 games I dint beat or get board with in a week.Ive had this game about a year and still play it.

PROS: ~there is a 2 player mode
~although it doesnt seem like it would matter, you get to directly control your Sim instead of pointing and clicking
~food opitions are the best ever to come to come to the playstation consul.First you pick from tons of kinds of meats,veggies,fruits,etc then you choose how you cook it from blending to microwaveing and stove top cooking
~story mode is more resinable and exiting

CONS: ~costimizing Sims apperance (besides clothes) is somewhat limited
~most of the guys are extremly ugly
~There hasnt been even an attempt to improve jobs or hair styles

I thought this game was great compared to the first sim console game, I was playing the free play mode there, that is, when I was assuming that it was wonderful, why did maxis take away the mother and knack of moving in with your "friend" other than "living with roommates" is this a down house or what? I want the mom back!

There is not much in the create-a-sim opition, you can make the eyes more arched, the nose more longer and shorter and wider, you can make the lips thicker, and you can change the jaw size, oh, give me a break! That isn't what I expected, I was expecting the whole sims 2 package, like the sims gave the whole sims package other than remaking a horrible game!

Maxis, next time, take a hint and look at what your fans actually like in the sims!

max fun for hours and hours and hours

Who would have thought a non-violent game with zero weapons could provide hours and hours of addictive fun?! Well, this is the one! Graphics are MUCH improved over the first ps2 Sims game (though I highly recommend that one also, for starters). Overall tremendous fun for your buck! Uses lotsa memory, as do all the ps2 Sims games, so make sure to have a dedicated memory card for it. I think comparing it to the PC version is pointless, since it is a totally different platform. PC version may be all that, but I personally don't like clogging up my PC with games. PS2 Sims 2 is an excellent game in its own right, and will not dissapoint anyone who loves the ps2 Sims line of games. Enjoy!

This game is superb. i personally enjoyed the game thoroughly. I enjoyed the choices for cltohing and accesories etc. But, i did not like how if you chose the creative aspiration, you had to be an artist when i wanted my person to be in the sport job. but i guess, if you finish that job you could go on to that. blahblahblah i am rambling. anyways, i loved this game, and i find it even more enjoyable with cheat codes. (well, not all of them, that would make the game to easy.)

Why only 3 stars?

I'm unsure why this game received only a 3-star average rating. If you know anything about Sims games for video game systems, you'd know that the majority of them are not completely like the original PC version. If you buy this game, you must know that no, this isn't exactly like the original BUT it's still fun nonetheless.

So what's to like about this game? First, I prefer to play with another person because it can get hard having to control multiple people. Each character has their own goals (some are hard and some are easy). You must achieve these goals while maintaining a job (preferably) and keeping your stats up high. It can get difficult but that's what I love about it. While one character is trying to keep his hunger level up, I can switch to another character and achieve her goal of painting a quality picture. There's a ton to do to keep you busy. Eventually, you get your gold goals that, once completed, unlock another location. The different places you can live in are so cool (from an ordinary house, to a hotel, to an artist's museum). You can even live on a boat once you complete a few rounds of the game!

Second, when you go to each new location, you get to hear a story about what's going on with the people who live there and what their ultimate goals involve. Each location has different goals and a cast of wacky chracters which makes for a non-repetitive game.

Third, it doesn't get old. Yes, once you beat the entire game, you may not want to replay the whole thing over again. However, after you achieve your gold goals, you can still play at certain locations and the goals keep on coming.

What's not to like? Those who want this to be exactly like the original game will be disappointed. No, you can't have children. No, you don't have complete control in Free Play mode. However, the achieving goals part of the game is fun and addictive.

Be sure to TRY this game before completely writing it off as a bad one. You may enjoy it! It's one of my favorite PS2 games.

The best god sim ever (on PS2 of course) -part. 2-

I?m back! And not understanding the situation here! All the recent reviews are like: "I got The Sims 2 and was like ?OMG! I got The Sims 2!? But after a minute of playing I was like ?NO! It sawkz!?" Three words: Get over yourselves! Try playing for longer and you?ll eventually find entertainment. And how exactly does it sawk(Sawk means S-U-C-K)? I took the risk of buying it and I have no regrets. In fact, I LOVE IT!!! But there is one thing that troubles me. I used the "Unlock all outfits" cheat but there is one hat that never opens up. Ah well...

Here is a list of 5 things you WILL do in The Sims 2, that is, if you don?t listen to the bad reviews:
1. Play in Free Play mode-
The main attraction. You can?t play The Sims without Free Play. Really: YOU CAN?T!!!
2. Use the cheats-
Without them you will never get the most out of The Sims.
3. Play as an psycotic alien in a metallic house-
You WILL do that!
4. Start a lesbian relationship-
What? It?s a tradition. It isn?t The Sims without lesbian relationships.
5. Buy it-
To to all those thing listed above!

And you CAN do all those things easily. For those of you who haven?t tried out the game, then DO IT!!! And for those who gave it a lousy review: give it another try. You?ll find some fun. And finally, people who gave it a good review: I agree with whatever you said. It?s not slow like TS1, not dull like Bustin? Out and not ?urban? like The Urbz. This is The Sims 2 baby, and it?s rocking my world and hopefully yours!
Overall: 9.5/10- Not perfect but close enough. Buy it!

awesome game

The Sims 2 is a great game. There is so much to do it will take a while to be able to beat it. Even when you do beat it theres more to do. Hours of fun.
