LOL fact-I PROMISE I SAW TRISTAN LEGEND AND TANK GRUNT KISSING IN THE LOBBY!!!
intro-sorry, now i'll start the real review- but that really happend. first i'll tell you about the game and some secrets too then i'll ask some quesitons that if you know them please write a review and answer them
Interact- when you come close to an object or person you can interact with them
Pockets- you can hold 6 items like furniture or food you might buy, you also have 3 items that are permanent that you have to find- vacum, drencher, and metal something, you also can collect gourds nuclear rods, or license plates and sell them to sallon chick, johnny smith, or sherrif
Goals- When sims call you on your cell phone or tell yuo in person you get a goal. it might be something like get ara fusilli (my favortie person by the way) a toilet by an hour
Friends- you have friends by spending time with them and meeting them some are more of friends then others you can even have 4 boyfriends at once! at least that is legal in strangetown! lol
Money- you earn it by checking out, selling art paintings, and many more other ways
Sanity-keep your sim happy by fufilling it's needs like sleep sit bathroom food etc but don't step in fire! the sanity then goes down in 6 sec- not good!
Secrets- don't check out angry sims- get less cash, get art gallery and sell paintings
Question- my city hall and one of my hotel rooms is on fire!!! how do you extinguish it?
Goal: imporve your hotel~~~!
A So-so Game.

In my opinion, besides the odd story lines and the wierd goings on of the game, it is OK..but just OK. I has been filled with required tasks that are next to impossible. I've gotten to a point in the game that I feel compelled to go onto the internet to find some cheats. I expected much more. This has been a huge disappointment and considerable lowering of standards for the otherwise excellent Sims franchise.
Surprisingly good.

This game is actually good and very addictive. Its the only game I've been playing the last two weeks. I gave it only 4 star because the game freezes a lot and if I didnt save recently... I would have to start over lots of tasks. I read on some websites that the game freezing is normal because it cant handle lots of graphics on screen at the same time, so save very often.
This Game Is So Much FUN!

I would have to say that this is a great game. I know that it is rated E, but it is really fun. Ther is NO loading problems. You get to run the Strangetown hotel and do cool stuff. The only problem is, though, it uses real hours. But, you can always speed up the time by changing it on the main screen of your Ds. I love the sims games. I have them for gamecube. Even though you can't get married or have babies, this game really rocks. It is alot of fun to play and trust me once you start playing it, you'll never want to stop! Overall, this game is really fun and you should get it. It will be worth your money.
HORRIBLE!!!

This game is not even close to the other games in the franchise. There is little customization and the only real way to make money is to play a stupid card game. All the other ways require you to wait a few days. Which brings me to my next point: the time system. This game uses the DS's real time for everything you do. If one of your customers is staying until Friday, you have to remember to play your DS on Friday. Otherwise, you don't get as much money. There are additional rooms you can add, but the only ones you need are the extra three bedrooms. All of the others let you make miniscule money by performing various jobs that require the skill of a 5-year old. Basically, this game is not worth the money you will spend. You are much better of if you spend 20 bucks on the PC version.
Great fun!

My 10 year old daughter received the Sims Complete Collection for the computer for a birthday gift and loves it. The Nintendo DS is what she takes along on vacations or long drives and The Sims2 is a real hit with her! She can play it for hours on end. She started out with the Nintendogs, next bought Mario Cart, then Harry Potter and finally Catz. The Catz is definitely a little young for her. The Sims seems to be something she really enjoys, perhaps even more than any of the others. I highly recommend this game, especially if you're planning a vacation with a lot of travel time!
My nephew loves itI

I was very surprised at the amount of glitches and freezes this game had. Judging by others' comments, I guess I wasn't the only one.
Not only does it freeze during important parts of the game, but I don't have an Options menu. At all. When I try to get to the Options screen, everything goes black and I have to restart.
The game has an interesting set of minigames that are quite fun. Fighting crime with a rat suit is pushing the "funny fun fun" factor a bit far, but I guess some would find this okay.
I wasn't very impressed with the game overall. It wasn't a HORRIBLE game, but Maxis could have done so much more with the concepts they had if they just tried a little more.
Oh, if you're a Sims fan like me, don't even TRY to compare this one with other games on different platforms, especially PC. It's not even in the same ballpark- heck, planet as the others.
Boring

Compared to all the other sims games it is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to be a hotel maneger. I hate that you don't get to live in a house. You don't even get to talk to people normally you can only do romance,cheer them up, calm them down, and restrain.
LoTs Of FuN !

In this game you first start out stuck at a small town called stangevill, and take over a hotel and have to run it.All these thing happen and you have to fix it. Like right now i have to save some body from aliens from the desert. It's alot of fun. But one thing i have to say to you people who are looking at this thinking " should i get this or not ?" Well it's not think the comouter game where you build a house and buy stuff..... it's alot different than that! So if you want a game like that... than your better going with a different game .
