User Comments about the The Sims 2

Its very dinamical. You can do alot of things with other people lifes and try to have a second chance on life and under stand the meaning of it. (talking about the games, relating with real life experience)



I really love this game.Of course it isn't the PC version but this one is really addictive.I created a family and built my house then I did what you all do in sims games,I took a large dump.It never gets old hearing the way the Sims talk with their crazy giggling to humorus gibberish.There really is no story to this game that I could pick out but a story would probably have ruined this great game.Pros:-Create your own person(clothes,body,and personality)-Create your own house-Tons of cool items to put in your home-Lots of clothing to choose from-Talking is fun-Flipping other sims the birdCons:-No option to make kids-Fire Hazard doesn't allow you to fill your house with stuffThose are the only cons I see. So do yourself a favor and pick up this game.



I wish I could get my money back and just play the computer Sims 2. They don't grow old and ect. I am very disappointed because unlike the computer game, you can not have kids. This game was very disappointing. The computer version is much better.



But this one is the only one I do not like. It's extremely sluggish too. The big thing is you can't even have a baby and that sucks big time. I loved the sims and I am up for any good sims game. I rather play the sims 1 game with the worser graphics because at least it was A LOT more entertaining. My big problem with this was that it wasn't fun and even though the graphics were very improved they sometimes froze or took forever to do something. So I recomend sims castaway, urbz, busting out.anything but this one.


I know ps2 sim games aren't the fastest thing but this one was extra slow, it froze up my ps2. There is barely nothing to do and the only thing good is all the items, which take forever to get. There wasn't enough tasks to do. You won't like it and you'll be bored in a day or two.


Overall, a lot of improvement and depth added. A humorous edge, great locations to visit, and a better story mode. Pausing the game every time you need to know which skill to improve to advance in your career. Could have made it a little more user-friendly. Improved graphics from the previous Sims games for PS2. Minor problems in interface such as having to pause the game and scroll through a bunch of sims to figure out what their relationships are. Awesome direct control/godmode toggle.


Often difficult to simply interact with other sims. Doors getting blocked so sims refuse to move or walk through. More interactive objects through third person mode (and cooking, socializing, etc) Not bad in general.Some issues: AI still seriously lacking. Sims taking the longest possible distance to walk to an object. Recommended if you are a Sims fan.
