I like the sims alot but it is kind of wierd.When I first bought the sims I thought it would be sooooooo cool but now it's like ummm...So I like it but it is sooo SLOW!!!But I would still rate it high, so you should get it and try it out and tell how it is!

Sims 2 for the PSP is great, but can be annoying

I love this game, but it has some annoying parts to it. When you get scared, your sanity meter goes down, and it happens a lot. When you go to different neighborhoods, all your "emergencies" go down. In some parts you have to go from one neighborhood to another and everything goes down quickly.
I love the story line, all the interactions, the different facial features that aren't incorporated in the regular SIMS 2 for the PC.
I highly recommend this game for the PSP.
I bought this game for my 13 year old daughter who dictated this review to me.

The Sims Busting Out 2?

This game is very similar to The Sims Busting Out. Maybe they should have called it, I don't know... maybe: The Sims Busting Out 2?

Anyway, it is okay if you want an adventure, but if you like to design houses and burn them down, this is not the game you think it is.

Also, I have read a LOT of posts about CRASHES and LONG LOAD TIMES. I have a PSP Slim and the load times are acceptable. And there are NO crashes whatsoever. I am using OFFICIAL FIRMWARE 3.90

Don't use UNNOFICIAL FIRMWARE and cry about crashes and poor performance KIDS. Sony may be behind on making a public API for home brewers and offering Flash 9 support but that does not motivate me to replace my PSP's operating system and void my two-year replacement plan.

I do wish the PSP would dump RAM states/swaps/caches to my 8GB *brag* memory stick so it would not have to reload reoccurring dialogs and sequences. UMD caching seems to make no difference. I do hope it is device as to not rely on the game being designed to use the new feature.
...And it would be fun to be able to play The Sims 2 online.

To sum it up, the only major complaint I have about this game is the misleading title. I am under the impression that if I beat the game, there will be nothing left to do but maybe play again and choose different story paths. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe when you get through the first part, which seems to be like King's Quest when it comes to gameplay, I get some freedom but I doubt it.

Great game, but PSP hangs during play!

I would love nothing more than to play this game, and I have really tried - about 6 hours total so far, but it's gotten to that point that it's almost too frustrating. The constant pauses to load data from the disk make this all but unplayable. The social games, which were a great idea, hang so badly that if you push a button while it's loading, it doesn't register and you LOSE the game! You literally can't make a move without 3-10 second hangs while the data loads, and sorry EA, you should have fixed that one. A game is only fun if it's not fighting with its platform.

What makes this sadder is how much FUN this game would have been. 5 stars all the way! The graphics are incredible, the story is fresh, and the game play inventive and addictive. Seriously, EA, what happened? Didn't you test this one out on the hardware?

Fun game, but loading times are annoying.

The Sims reminds me a lot of Bustin' Out for the GameBoy Advance, in that you have to figure out puzzles, play mini games, and make friends (and enemies). This time you're stuck in the Sims 2 suburb of Strangetown, and there's a lot of strangeness going on.

The graphics are very nice, and the game play itself is enjoyable, but I really feel like it's hampered by the frequent pauses to load data from the UMD. The loading screens between locations are not bad; but when you talk to someone, or play the mini-game chatting game, and each time the system has to access the UMD to load the voices and animations, it really makes the game feel choppy.

I really wanted to love the game, even knowing that it wasn't going to be free-form Sims as in the PC game. I do enjoy the gameplay, but overall I'd have to give it just three stars, due to the frustration of loading all the time.

Loading time takes up most of your playtime

The storyline sounds fun. The game has great potential, but I probably won't finish it until a year from now. The load time sucks. You can actually hear the UMD churning away with every game move you make. Loading time frustrates you & you end up turning the game off. EA either didn't care or was in such a rush to get this game out that the consumers were forgotten. They know the SIMS games have an excellent rep, so we all would buy it. There's no excuse for this lapse in detail.
