This Game, I don't think is like any other game I have or will ever play! This game let's you control a little person called a Sim and you can do what ever you want with them. You have to keep them happy by telling them to use the bathroom (or else they will pee on themselves) or keeping there energy high by making them go to bed! You tell them what to do and this game let's you do stuff you can only dream about! Like calling a maid to come and clean your house that you built and then hook up with her. Or calling some people over and going and hanging out in your jacuzzi! Or if a robber comes you have to call the police and get them to stop the thief. This game is like no other, and is in a category of it's own! If you have played The Sims for the PC and if you have a gamecube,PS2,or X-box then you need to buy this it is 10 times better than the PC version. And if you haven't ever played it then buy it! Like my title says "If you buy it you will like it"! I can not say enough about The Sims for Gamecube. This Game will keep you busy for hours!

Oops, didn't make it the bathroom in time!

General/Summary: I was very excited when I heard this game would be coming to GameCube. That is the reason I bought one as I had no desire to own a PS2, PC or X-Box. I have wanted to play this game since I saw it for PC's. The long wait was worth it. If you have played any of the sim games such as Sim City, Sim Ant, etc. and enjoyed them you will love this one. You essentially live out the life of an ordinary Joe like you would live your own life. ''Get a Life'' is the only option when you start, which is a mission based game where you meet certain goals and progress your life and career till you win the game, which is a first for The Sims. ''Play the Sims'' is based on the traditional game where you control everything forever essentially. The game lasts as long as you choose as you play out your life and the lives of others in your neighborhood. This game mode is unlocked soon after you play the other and get past the first level. Rent or buy: Renting is always a good idea if you're not sure you will like this type of game but my guess is that you will soon be running out to buy the game. Gotta go, my Sim needs to go to the can again! Gameplay: The controls are very intuitive and laid out well. My only complaint is that giving multiple commands and cancelling same can be a chore at times but not bad by any means. You control everything as I mentioned. You can turn on ''Free Will'' which gives your Sim some power to control his/her life and it usually does the right thing but you can't count on it. If two things the Sim needs are close it may do somthing like eat instead of going to the bathroom and you can guess the result. You have to keep an eye on them at all times. In the modes when you are alone in your home you may wish to turn ''Free Will'' off but when you start having roomies its better to leave it on because it can be tough to control all the characters all the time, although swapping between them is as easy as pressing ''Z.'' Fixing up your place and buying things takes getting used to but you will pick it up in no time. The only problem I've had is when I want a non-player computer controlled Sim to join or follow me, such as wanting them to join you in the hot tub or play strip poker (yes, thats right) as an example. Another first for The Sims is a two player game which is loads of fun as you and your opponent compete against each other to beat the other guy/gal to certain goals. It can be quite funny in the process. Graphics: The game is in 3D and for the most part you can make out everything in the game that you can interact with. Its a 3/4 top down perspective. I wish you could zoom in more and really have the sense of moving about in real life but the game works quite well as is. I give the graphics a higher score because Maxis did a good job with what they had. The graphics can be a little fuzzy at times though but I wonder if this is the GameCube itself? I use S-video and all of the GameCube games I have are fuzzy to some extent, although overall not bad. Sound: The Sim jibberish is pretty funny if not repetitive. Soon you will know what your Sim needs and you better pay attention unless you want to pass out from exaustion or wet your pants from not making it to the bathroom. Yes, you heard me right. Your Sim counts on you to tell it to do everything. More on that later. The ambient sounds like the appliances, TV, hot tub, alarm clock, doorbell, phone etc. etc. are all very well done.

The Glory of The Sims Continues

The Sims for Gamecube is awesome. The gameplay is great, the graphics are unbelievable, and overall this is a great game:

Graphics:9.5/10
The graphics are totally sweet. the -.5 is because you can't zoom in too close and thats a real bummer. But other than that, everything looks real and will blow you away.

Storyline:8.5/10
The storyline is simple. On Get a Life, you create your own Sim, start off in your moms house and you have to accomplish goals in order to move to the next, goals such as move ou of moms house, get a job, get rich, etc. On Play the Sims, you have to accomplish 1 goal in Get a Life and you can play the freestyle Sims.

Controls: 10/10
The controls are really easy. All you have to do is move the cursor, click on an object, say what you want to do with the object, and your Sim goes and does it. As simple as that.

Music:6/10
The music to the Sims is kinda dorky. Its like old classical music with a new twist. Its ok, but it gets annoying after a while.

fun: 10/10
With the Sims, you can keep yourself entertained for hours. You can also play with a two player mode and live with the person your playing with .... Also with all the people, equipment, and accessories, your Sim will be as entertained as you will be.

Overall: 9.5/10
This game is the real deal. So much fun by yourself or two player mode. Dont rent this game because your not gonna want to take it back. An instant classic and an instant buy.

I love this game so much, I am really tired of Maxis's stupid "new projects", They shouldn't change the aging process, having babies, and neighborhood options, I wish that they made the sims 2 ALMOST exactly like this,

In the sims 2 you live with yuor "roommates" which has no knack to it, this one, you live with your mom, which makes more sense,

Next time, Maxis, take a hint and don't change what the people love, idiots!

Cool Game

This is game is so fun! It's kinda boring at the start because you have to live with your mom but after you beat that level, the next house is pretty fun and it also unlocks play the sims mode. Get a life mode is fun (that's where you start out with your mom) and it has two player games and stuff. The play the sims mode is way better because you get to have a whole neighborhood and get make houses and families. Here are some codes for this game!:
get to the cheat code menu- press L and R buttons at the same time from here you just type the codes
all objects are free- FREEALL
unlock all two player games,locked items and skins- MIDAS
unlock first person view- FISH EYE
unlock play the sims mode at all times- SIMS
all thoses codes work too! this was a really great game you should buy it!

I have never played the sims for gamecube, since it's not out yet, but I have all the sims games for my computer (except online), and I have to say, it is my favorite game! I am so addicted. I will surely get it when it comes out! I can't wait!

Who wouldn't buy this game

This game is a good game. However it gets boring sometimes because it gets too tough. It's my personal favorite game. There is codes and cheats. To go in cheat mode type L then R at the same time to open cheat mode. Type Freeall to buy everything for free. Type Sims to open two player (if you haven't done already).
