Sims 2 Works Well on DS

I wasn't sure about this game when I first heard of it because I had played Sims on Xbox and found it very difficult to control. This game is quite different, instead of porting the computer version as is to the DS, they created a whole different game that is a lot of fun.

In the game you become stranded in Strangetown and end up taking over a hotel. You have to complete different missions in order to move on in the game. You also have to keep the place clean, keep your friends and guests happy and keep the generator packed with power rods.

What sets this game apart is the game controls. Instead of clicking to move your character around and control them, you actual have control of the character and can move him or her around. You can interact with everyone and you have to learn to react in one of three ways to whatever the person does. This was a little difficult to figure out at first but it adds an interesting part to the game. Plus there are mini games, such as in the Casino there is a fun card game and you can play the slots.

So far this game has been a lot of fun and the gameplay options seem to overcome the endless rut you can get into in the PC version.

First of all to the kid who could not get rid of lord mole. All you have to do is spray him with the water pistol and that will do the trick.
This game is one of the best DS releases so far. The idea of it running in real time really works well and gives a nice difference to other sims games. Although having to wait for 8 hours for a room to be built is slightly frustrating.
The missions are original and interesting but unfortunately there are not many which makes the game quite short. However you can continue to play for as long as you want after completing hte game

Overall this is a great game with only a few minor glitches. Sometimes the game can just freeze up so make sure you save reguarly. Also I lost my game when I somehow played alien autopsy about 10 with just 1 mumified alien. I saved and when i came back on, whenever i looked at my pockets the game froze. It was so bad i had to start a new game. So i suggest you stay away from doing alien autopsy.

graet game just falling behind animal crossing WW and Mario Kart.

Great game for young and old

I bought this for my 10 year old son who is a rather avid gamer and has rather specific and sofisticated taste, he LOVED it....

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.

I have a question

Hi,
I love the sims 2. Though you can't build stuff like on the computer, it's a pretty good game. Um, I'm sorta stuck. Some of you guys have probably gotten alot farther in this game than I have. So, I'm at the goal which says, 'convince lord mole to stop chewing on wires.' well, I'm pals with this mole guy, and I can't convince him! I've tried giving him stuff, everything. Every time I click on 'what's up?', he tells me to buzz off! Nice guy...
Anyway, if any of you guys out there, know how to convince him...
PLEASE, PLEASE write back witha title of re: I have a question.
That'll help A LOT! If you do, I'll write back and thank you! I'd thank and beg now if I could. Thanks a lot if you help me. Enjoy the rest of the game.

DS the sims 2, is extremely fun, if you are a sim fan buy this game! It's not like the computer/xbox etc. games, its different but still a sims game. The story line is your car breaks down and your stranded in Strangetown, and the hotel manager leaves, so its up to you to become the manager and manage the hotel. You deal with alien invasions, goons, robots. You also have to keep the place clean, vacuum clean up 'Ick' spills. Find your friends lost cell's and furniture etc. I got this game yesterday and so far its very fun! The only problem i'm having is Recharging the metal detecter, supposadly you r suppossed to recharge it at the Hotel Reactor, but I cant find it, i think its the "Hotel Furnace" but im not sure. So if anyone has an answer please please reply to this review or u can email me @ ice_breakers202@yahoo.com thanx.
Overall this game has 4/5 stars, considering its real time and takes 8 hours to build a room... but thats realisticish. :D. If you looking for a sims like the computer game on the DS this is pretty close, but you arent in a house, but you still have to take a shower/use the toilet/sleep/eat/drink. you can also workout on the treadmill and use the tanning thingy and it really gives u a tan!! This game is so cool and im only on the mission where you have to build the Vault. The only thing that im really frustrated with is the darn metal detecter, i really wanna use it, but no luck recharging it. So far this game ROCKS if your lookin for a adventurous new sims game, this is the game for all you new and old simmers! This game rox!

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!

It's great!

I just got this game for my 16th birthday and it is awesome. I'm a big fan of the Sims franchise and this game was not a disappointment to me at all. I actually prefer this one over the Urbz. Making music and painting are really fun, plus becoming the Ratticator to destroy evil gives the game a strangely fun quality. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves the Sims.
