Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The bestselling PC game of all time is finally making its console debut: The Sims allows console gamers to create and control their own little computer people with new level-based gameplay and swankier 3-D graphics.
Many would have assumed that The Sims could never work on a console, but one look at this version proves them wrong. In fact, with the temptation to fall back on a mountain of confusing mouse-operated icons and online patches removed, this could well be the definitive version. For starters, the graphics now look much better than before, being in full 3-D instead of just isometric 2-D. This not only looks better but also allows you to zoom in and out on the action and feels a lot less sterile than the original. Things are still as customisable as ever too, especially via the Create-a-Sim option.
Perhaps the biggest change to how the game plays on consoles is in the new level-based missions. The PC original had no real goal; you just designed a family and let them get on with it, interfering with their virtual life as much or as little as you wanted. The console version adds some goals and rewards to the gameplay, which should help to attract the more attention-deficient among console owners. There's even a rather odd two-player mode, which, even if it seems a little pointless, is yet more proof that EA are really trying to make this a proper worthwhile console experience and not just the cheap cash-in many would've expected. --David Jenkins

The Sims - PC or PS2?,
This review is from: The Sims (PS2) (Video Game)
I have been an avid player of The Sims Pc version for a while now - and all of the add on packs have kept my interest high. I was delighted to hear that the PS2 version was available, and was sure that with dedicated game play, then things could only get better.I wasn't disappointed, the play is quicker and allows you to choose if you would like to have a 'mission' and achieve set objectives, or if you would like to just go with the flow in a regular Sims neighbourhood. Having set goals in 'Get a Life' is new to The Sims and is, I believe, a positive enhancement. The only negative that I have found so far is the slightly poor picture quality - for some reason it seems to be less clear than the PC version. Overall I believe that this is a great addition to The Sims family of games, and look forward to being 'God' a lot more in the future!

The Sims The Full Review,
This review is from: The Sims (PS2) (Video Game)
The Sims is a great game and is, i feel much better than the pc add-ons and original. And if you are looking to buy the game i wouldn't buy the PRIMA official stragety guide, it's no help, at all. If you need a couple of cheats to start you off just look at the bottom of the review. If you don't own it, ti is a very good game with alot more extras than the pc. For example, multiplayer, what more could you ask for! But to unlock multiplayer mode you have to do the following or look at the bottom of this review. Start a new game on career mode, get used to the controls then just do the tasks to unlock future things, i.e mulitplayer. Another great thing is you can do free will, do whatever you want, or, career mode and earn your money help out your friends, basically do everyday tasks. The only bad thing is that the pc has a few add-ons which enables more items. Although the ps2 does have quite alot. And one of the best things on the game is the outstanding graphics! I mean it might not be final fantasy 10 but compared to the pc version, WOWZA! I love this game it is VERY GOOD.Happy Living!

I have been converted!,
By Zoe (Gold Coast, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sims (PS2) (Video Game)
I am not a person who plays computer games. I do not own a playstation. But, my husband does, and enjoys all those dull golf, cricket & rugby playstation games that would send the average person to sleep due to the tedium of them. His attempts to entice me into playing them with him, or (hell of all hells) watch him playing them, failed miserably. In an attempt to stop me sneering condescendingly at him every time he turned his playstation on, he bought me a game called "The Sims", so that we could be joined together in our appreciation of the mighty games machine. Big mistake. I just adore this game! My favourite toy as a child was my dolls house, and this is a delightful 21st century version of it (without the dodgy oversize television made out of a matchbox)that invites you to make up any story regarding the characters that you like and oversee all of the mundane liitle duties they need to do. Your imagination is only hampered by the boundaries that the game has set so that your little Sim friend has a chance at a better life with a high powered job & more money. Not only do you get to mould your little creation as you please, you can mould their environment as well. The building part of the game is a joy to those who enjoyed lego well into their teens. If your Sim is becoming dull or annoying, build them a house with a myriad of corridors that they have no choice but to follow if they want to go the toilet, or remove all the doors once they are inside & watch their frustration as they try to leave & go to work.Ha ha, fun stuff for the easily amused. Yes, this great game brings out the inner child in me, and my poor husband now wishes that he had never bought it for me. He has to book in time now to be able to use his own playstation. Oh well, at least I'm not controlling HIS life anymore.
