The Sims (PS2)

The game play on this game is way better than the Sims 2 on ps2 but the choices on Sims 2 are better. I am going to beat Sims before I even start Sims 2, if I start it. The writing is too small on Sims 2.

I think The Sims is really poor, cannot reconmend it or even play it even. If they improved it because on the Sims 90% was horrible and on Sims 2 they only improved it by 14% which makes it appalling.

I didn't like The Sims, it was hard to control and does not have as many functions as the pc game but it had an objective.

The Sims is an OK game but it is too short, multi player is boring and it is way too easy. Can easily be done in a day. Once completed you won't want to do it again as it is the same. Building a house gets very repetitive and you will grow to dislike this mode very much. Best rent it for a day rather than buy it and sell it in the next few days.

I got this game at Christmas and have played it every day since. There are two modes of play in the PS2 version, Get A Life where you have to reach certain goals and Play The Sims where you can do just what you like. It's taken me nearly 3 weeks to complete Get A Life, so it's not too difficult to do.

The best thing about The Sims is you can customise any house in your neighbourhood to be just as you like it. Or you can build from scratch. This does take a while, I sometimes tweak the house and sims more than play the game.

The game is rated at 15 mainly because some of the concepts like friendships / relationships may be a little difficult for younger players to grasp. I witnessed this with a 13 year old boy playing the game. Shouts of ,"Why did I get slapped" etc..

Overall a very engrossing game and well worth £28, I shall be enjoying this one for a long time. Recommended
