I think that the Sims 2 for the Nintendo DS is a great game. It was fun and interesting to play. It has a lot of great features. It is a lot different than i thought it was going to be. Well for one I was hoping it would be PC games, which it isn't in any way. But it is still an excellent game. So you can't have kids, or have them grow up or anything like that. But you are given challenges to complete in a certain amount of time, which creates a lot of appeal. The only bad part about this game I think, is that you can't earn skillpoints, you have to find them. Which is annoying at times if you only have certain times during the day to play for a limited time. And one of the last challenges you have to do is find 5 mechanical points, which kind of just draws a stop to the game till you finish that. But other than that, it is a really good game and i have spent many hours playing it. A great game in my book, and I think most people would agree with me on that one.

This is the best

I just got the Sims2 DS yesterday and it soo much fun I can't stop playing it.The whole thing is that your car brakes down and you have go to this hotel and become manager because the other one left.You have to control everything thats going on in the hotel.This version on the DS is sooo much better then the computer game.

Pretty Good Compared to Others

I got this game for Chirstmas and was pleasantly surprised by it. I had the Sims 2 game for GBA and had liked it, but enjoyed this game more. It is very entertaing and can keep me busy for hours (usually 3 at the most). My only complaints with it are that I didn't always like the fact that it ran on real world time because that meant that if I wanted to build something and it said it would take 8 hours, that was really the length of time it would take. Plus I didn't like that fact that if I didn't play for a period of time, my whole hotel was in disarray and usually the repo men had come to take things away because my bills hadn't been paid. But other than those things, I really enjoyed this game and would reccommend it for all new buyers because it is easy to understand and play and is fun and entertaining.

Great Game

I have had this game for like 2 years and it's like one of my favorite games. Your car brakes down in Strangetown-no wonder why it's called that-and you are now hotel manager in the middle of nowhere. There's a jail, restruant,hotel,store,desert,town hall, and a pack of cows. You clean rooms, help guests, and much more. It's really fun. It's easier than some sims games, because this game you just need to eat, bathe, and etc. to keep your meter bar up. It's like the best game.

Fun, but a little hard at first...

I got this game for Christmas, and having played The Sims Bustin' Out on GBA, I was sort of expecting the same thing. At first, I really didn't like the gameplay just because I couldn't figure it out. It frustrated me so much that I just didn't play it for about a month. But I finally decided to try it again, and than after that, I just couldn't put it down. Once I figured out how to respond to the people's reactions, it got easier.

My favorite part of the game had to be fighting as the Ratticator. It was much easier and less frustrating than fighting the aliens.

Overall, I think this is a really fun game. I hope that they come out with more like this, since this one went by too fast.

Lots of fun

This game is a ton a fun. You get to create a caracter(not as many choises as the computer games, but what do you expect?)
Then you go to this town were you have to chase off robbers and help people in order to keep a hotel from going out of business.
You can paint and buy a whole bunch of cool stuff like a rat suit.
This game doesn't have great graphics but I give the game a 10/10 overall.

Good fun, but not EVERYDAY!

I've had this game a while now and it is good fun to play, theres lots to do and plenty of issues to overcome. The storyline is that you are suddenly in charge of a hotel in strangetown. One of the downfalls of this as a game is that it runs in real-time and there are a number of things you have to do on a daily basis (such as feed bigfoot, or check in and out customers). If you don't complete these on a daily basis it can have an adverse affect e.g. some customers won't pay for their stay, etc. It's a bit annoying I have to say and after having the game a while you tend not to want to play every single day, and personally I end up reversing the clock on my ds so that I can play every day that I missed so everyone is happy and they all pay when they check-out, which can get awfully complicated (especially when you haven't played for a week!!). Apart from that, once you get used to dealing with people (you have to calm them down, romance them, impress them, etc.) and getting into a routine of taking care of everyone and everything in the hotel its a lot of fun. There are some really quirky features like having to wear a rat suit to get rid of unwanted visitors such as the aliens and you can unlock several secret areas of your hotel. The graphics are good, but I have had the game crash several times in one area, so I now avoid this area most of the time (which doesn't affect the storyline or gameplay in any way). I like this game a lot, and if I had the time, would like to play everyday, but the reality is I don't. I'd recommend it to anyone who like the SIMS URBZ on the ds, it has a similar feel to it, except it is more 3D in style.

I LOVE THIS GAME!

ok first i have to say this is one of my favorite DS games. i didn't get it at first, but i really don't get a lot of games at first... I'm not very smart when it comes to video games. i had gotten it for christmas last year and tried to play it but kind of gave up because i couldn't restrain the mayor... yes i'm a giver-upper. that's not a word i know. but anyway, i eventually did figure out how to do that, and played it until the part where you have to get like 8 mechanical skillpoints... i gave up. got bored. but like i said, i give up easily. but i played it like 24/7 for a few weeks and loved it, until that point. i can safely say i'll probably never play it again. i let my friend borrow it. hopefully she doesnt lose it in her room somewhere. i do know people that have reached the credits though, so it can be done! obviously... i'm probably the only one in the world who hasn't gotten that far. still. it was fun while it lasted. (by the way...i'm 14. but my cousins are 9, 11, and 13 and they all loved the game too. so i guess it's a game for that age range? pre-teen/teen or whoever! i think anybody would like it!) and i'm sorry if this review made no sense at all to you. :)!!!!

I thought the Urbz on GBA was incredible, but this game takes it up at least 2 notches. The game looks really good thanks to the power of the DS, and having the 2nd screen makes you wonder how you ever got along without it. Several of the characters from the Urbz turn up in this game, which is cool. Controls are fairly intuitive, but sometimes you get hung up in a doorway and the graphics bleed over into the next room. Aside from that, there is a lot to like about this game. Lots to do, as well. Highly recommended.

This game is alot diffrent from the sims 2 for pc and ps2 but its still cool.This game is too easy but its fun to start over and beat it using a whole nother person.
When i first starting playing this game I was extremly dissappointed that it wasnt anything like the sims I have on other systems .After a while i started to really like it and got caught up in the stroy line and characters.clothes arent that limited considering that it is a handheld but you cant layer clothing(a favorite feature in other Sims games)
