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!

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.

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.

What more were you expecting?

Personally, I KNEW that this game was gonna suck BIG time. Ever since I saw the commerical, I could see that this was going to be a huge down-fall of the great games Maxis has made.

I do not get why the hell they would just leave out the 2 floors, neighborhood mode, and children... AND pools. What the hell is left after all these great things have been stripped down? NOTHING. I am very disappointed in maxis now. I used to love the sims games but.. This is NOT a sims 2. It is more like a sims.. Zero. No babies. All the previous ones had babies. No pools. All the previous ones had pools.

No decent and non-futuristic furniture.

No nice rugs.

Not many furniture.

A waste of money.

ANDD it feels soo alone in there sometimes.. Pretty depressing. And I DID not like the fact that they could not die. Ghost mode? Wow what a great idea! What can you do? Puke on people? Haunt people? Possess them? Wail? HOW FUN! Geeee I NEED THIS GAME!

And when you finish the game, you are left with a feeling that you wasted your money.

And the only fun part is making the sims. Not that they look normal, anyway. They look like.... Just not like normal people. They can't be ugly. They can't even look fat.

It's more like a DVD interactive game.

So note the advice below.

I advise you to just send this to someone who you are not very fond of.

Extremely Inferior To Other Versions

I bought this game because I liked the idea of being able to play it on a console instead of being chained to a PC or laptop. I knew it wouldn't be AS involved as the PC version, but I could not believe how much it lacked. It was not even as good or involved as "Bustin Out", which came before this one. The Sim builder is the WORST, very few choices and you cannot really make your Sims look very different from one another at ALL. With the few options you're given, they all look the same. The houses are different, the layout is different and, like a few have mentioned before, there are no babies. There are so many things an avid Sims fan will be expecting, but will not get with this version, so I'd say don't waste your money. Just get an expansion pack for the superior PC series or stick to the original Sims or "Bustin Out" if you want a console version. They're much more fun and rewarding. This version makes one think that the designers merely 'threw something together' to capitalize on potential console sales.

The Sims 2 for Gamecube

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.

The game doesn't do the name justice. It doesn't live up to the Sims name. The computer version is 10x better.

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!

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
