Okay when you get into the game you like the 3-D graphics and all that. Well the first thing is you need a memory card 1 and 147 blocks. Then you realize you do everything you do in just about any other sims game.

Positives- You can get married,Abducted by aliens,slapped with a fish,have fun when your married like cuddle and woohoo and be a ghost and scare,possess,vomit,or wail at people,move your charectar without stick,make your own,kill someone,go places,fashion,acsseriores,tatoos,create an alien,have alien furniture,new and cool items in the catalog.

Negatives- No kids,you can't get pregant,you can't go to work with yor sims,all items in catalog a the same,and things like that.
There are alot things wrong with this game so i'm tellin you to stick with the pc version.

To make it short and sweet, for those of us who don't meet the requirments for the computer version of The Sims, this version (which is also on PS2) is the best one for consoles. I've played all three of the console Sim games and this (or Bustin' Out!) is my favorite. It's really solid, the worst part is not being able to have a kid. Other than that, all the regular stuff is still there (along with some neat things like learning/cooking recipes). However, the computer version is better because there is so much more. Hope you found this helpful.

Very excellent work!

Graphics 9/10
The clothes, people, and objects are all so life-like! You can get way up in their faces and sleep and actually turn over like a real person. Also, when you're by a radio you snap your fingers and if you're by trash you fan your nose! It's so cool!

Music 4/10
The music is very disapointing for a sim game. In the very first place you come, the music is HORRIBLE! It's the gibberesh version of Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff. It's so gross and irretating you are better off with silence.

Overall Gameplay 9/10
The whole game is lovely! You can do all sorts of things with your sim, and the sims around them! It's wonderfull! And it's a very excellent job by Maxis! It really stays true to the feeling of the sims.

All in all, you should get this game! It's the best Sims game in my opinion!

Horrible!!!!!!!!

Sims 2 for Game Cube is flat out horrible. I love Sims 2 for the computer...I play it for hours and dissapointed when I was having trouble installing it on my laptop at college. I had game cube and so I decided to buy sims 2 version for game cube. HUGE MISTAKE. The beauty of PC Sims 2 is gone on the video game. My favorite part of PC Sims 2 is having kids and seeing how the DNA works out. IN GC Sims 2, however, there are no kids! You can't have them and therefore the DNA factor that made PC sims 2 so unique becomes moot. The game is boring, the controls are difficult to use and the graphics suck. DON'T BOTHER. BUY A COMPUTER JUST SO YOU CAN PLAY THE AMAZING SIMS 2 ON PC!

Not that great

This game, I played it for three hours last night. I am still not even sure what I am doing. I was hopeing that the game is more like the PC game. But this one seems to be a rip off of the first sims for gamecube. The people look disgusting, there isn't even a family aspiration, not as many options. Frankly I would not buy this game. The PC version is 10 times better. I wasted $45 dollars on this game. The ONLY good thing about this game is that you can make your own receipes for your sims when they cook. Hopefully my opinion will change once I figure out what it is that I am supposed to be doing. But that chance doesn't look so good. I will re-post.

It's not that bad.

Okay, everybody is saying it's really repetitive and there is no storyline. NOT SO TRUE. You have to find the NEW LOCATIONS. Once you get through a couple of new locations, you have to complete OTHER people's goals, and they get much harder (you find yourself playing more with the other characters than with your own, and you have to take care of like three!)! There are like 13 locations, and the locations are like levels. I've only gone up to the Biodome place, which is about half-way.
I wouldn't recommend buying this game, but it IS fun to rent and it seems more fun because you haven't played it in awhile. TWO PLAYER IS AWESOME, so get a friend and play!

GREAT read this review

This game is pretty cool, with all the new graphics and fashion customizations, the ability to change colors and cut it to a smaller size, and you probably will notice, the amazing graphics, well probably not that amazing, but pretty much amazing compared to the previous sim games. And you really can get closer up! It was so weird really being able to get close up to your sim's face. And the ability to give the sim earrings, belts, tatoos, and necklaces really is very attractive.

But if you want it to be straight out the same as the sims 2.. You shouldn't get this game. This game is an entirely different game because of it's no ability of having babies, a second floor, and a 3-d overview of the neighborhood. And also there is no neighborhood. You can't even call 4 lots a neighborhood! And this pathetic story mode was not even a story mode! I can't even find the story in this mode! First you have to take a shower, clean up, and jump on the trampoline and then your so-called roomates will return home. No story in that at all. And then you will automically want to talk to someone then become a friend of that person. What happened to mom? What happened to that attractive moving out selection? Is this really better than the bustin out one?

And what happened to the cars? That was a cool thing to have! And what happened to community lots? And what happened to the pizza delivery guy? And what happened to children? You can customizate an adult and an elder, but not a child! And the elders are uggggggggggggglay! And everyone in the story mode will probably make you lose your love for this game. And you also probably will like that you can WooHoo in any double bed, not just the love bed. And also I am hoping that the next one will have a 3-d overview of the neighborhood, and the ability to have a 2nd floor, and CHILDREN!!!!!!!!! And aging!!!!!!!!!! Those will always be what everyone wants!

So this is a very oooooooookay game. Don't get this if you think you could get diappointed.

Very Repetetive

This game is fun.... for the first 30 minutes. Then it gets extremely repetitive. You fall in love with a girl, you clean puddles in the bathroom, you make yourself a meal... It all gets very boring, and very repetitive after a while(and I only played this game for the first time yesterday).

The characters speak in gibberish, which is very annoying, and they lindsay lohan/avril lavinge/hilary duff type music(with gibberish words) on the stereo which the computer sims keep turning on. I hate that type of music. I turn it off, and they turn it on again. When you get a job, you just go to a carpool. You don't actually get to see the office or anything.

From reviews of the computer version I was expecting more

Stick with the computer version

OK. I will be blunt. This version of Sims 2 stinks!!!! It is nothing like the pc version. I was expecting mutli-level homes & such, but no. If you are a fan of the Sims games, invest your hard earned Simoleans on the computer version of this game. If you already bought this game, I am sorry. See if you can sell it online or take it to one of those game stores that buy games back for cash or store credit. You won't get what you paid for it, but at least you'll get something.
