Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
The PC and console worlds combine thanks to man’s best friend and a mouse’s greatest enemy. Create, pamper and train your favoured furry companions in the latest The Sims 2 expansion.
The PC and console worlds combine thanks to man’s best friend and a mouse’s greatest enemy. Create, pamper and train your favoured furry companions in the latest The Sims 2 expansion.
The lowdown:
After years of trying to create less complex, mini-game orientated spin-offs it seems EA are now keen to see the PC and console The Sims games converge. This new iteration is an expansion pack on the PC but a full price, stand alone game on the consoles. As the name subtly hints the main addition to the game this time round is a number of four-legged friends, plus fish and birds (although it’s really cats and dogs that get most of the attention). You can also create your own personalised pet via a complex customisation tool that’s just as versatile as the one for humans and on the PC version you can even send your four-legged friend to work!
Most exciting moment:
On the PC this is a perfectly welcome but very narrow expansion. However the full price console version is actually a considerable improvement on the original with an easier-to-use interface, better artificial intelligence and even reduced loading times.
Since you ask:
The next PC expansion pack is called In Season and seems to be roughly analogous to The Sims expansion On Holiday, in that it’ll focus on exterior objects and locations. It’s not yet clear whether there’ll be a console version.
The bottom line:
Finally, The Sims is made to work on consoles!-HARRISON DENT
Product Description
The addition of a new friend is guaranteed to enrich the daily lives of your Sims! Not only will players have the opportunity to choose from a variety of existing breeds, and hot designer mixes, but they`ll also be able to personally design their new friend with the Create-a-Pet feature. The ability to customise gives fans the opportunity to create their ideal pet by choosing their body shape, unique markings, even their pet`s personalities! With so many different animals to choose from, there`s no telling what unpredictable experiences could occur!
Players will also be able to teach their pet new tricks, take them for a romp in the park, outfit them with new pet accessories and even give them a job! As in real life, your Sims` pet will require care and training. A neglected cat with an urge to scratch might claw up your new couch if you aren`t careful, and leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isn`t wise!
- Sims Have New Friends - Pets! Sims can share their lives with their new pets and add more fun to the Sims experience. From dogs, cats, caged animals and more, your Sims share new friends to experience life`s precious moments. With so many different animals to choose from, there`s no telling what unpredictable experiences could occur!
- Create-A-Pet: Choose from dozens of dog and cat breeds or customize features for a one-of-a-kind pet. You can even modify your pet`s body shape by choosing from specific colours and unique markings. Don`t like the way they act? Change their personality from smart and sweet to silly and sloppy anyone can create their ideal animal friend in The Sims 2 Pets.
"Sit, Spike, Site: Your Sims can encourage and discipline pets, training them to shake, roll over, play dead, and more. Unruly pets might dig in the yard, claw the sofa, or topple the trash. Thankfully, a little training can go a long way. - Classic

Fun:
Very disapointing, you can only go in your house or to a deserted park.No town to visit or people to meet, only clients. I have looked forward to this thinking it would be like Urbz or Sims In The City, but it's not.I can't wait for PSP version where you can visit town and meet people.

Fun:
I purchased this game with hope that it would be a mixture of the DS under the knife operation game, a bit of Nintendogs and a bit of the sims flare.
How wrong can you be!
The graphics are terrible. Its nothing like the quality you get with Nintendogs, everything is poorly done and it looks like EA games haven't even attempted to try. You can either be a male vet or female with about 3 faces and 3 hair do's and then a couple of outfits... nothing like the amount of options you get in the PC games. The characters face is very strange and looks like they have tried to make it realistic but its all gone terribly wrong.
The pets you can choose are a cat or a dog! These are cute but once you get them in your surgery you can't do an much with them until they get sick. I lasted about 30 mins trying the game and then took it back the next day and bought the PC version.
Now thats briliant and the graphics are amazing... don't buy this game unless you want to be really disappointed.
Buy the PC version its brilliant and the animals do so many things to amuse you and act just like real pets.

Fun:
This was my very first DS game - it came with my DS. I was so excited, I'd never been on a DS before, not even a friend's or my sister's. I was let down.
The most fun part of the game is the first bit where you design your character and your pet. Since this part was quite fun, I thought the rest of the game would be fun. But it's not. The graphics are awful, they're quite scratchy and a bit blurry. I will admit that the controls are very easy to use and make the game smooth running, but the actual game itself is really rubbish. The owners come with their pets, and I got to the customer straight away and she still complained about my lateness.
You have to check the pets over with the medical instruments and this gets tiring because each time you have to give them food to check if they have worms. You have to buy the food so you waste your food if they don't have worms. Also, if your stylus accidentally leaves the screen then comes back whilst you're stroking the pet, it thinks you're poking it so it's 'love' meter goes down.
This is another disadvantage to the game. The love meter goes down so easily. You have to brush the pet when diagnosing to check for fleas and this makes the love meter go down very much. It also goes down loads when you wash the pet. You have to buy very expensive accessories to make the pet's appearance meter go up and this costs loads and wastes your money. If you don't do this, you don't get paid as much money (as a bonus).
Basically, all you do in the game is waste money on things you don't even need so that you have none left to spend for yourself (like on furniture, ingredients for recipes etc.)
Overall, this game could've been great if:
1) the graphics were better
2) the overall gameplay was improved
3) there were more places to go - you can only go in your house and some park that is rubbish with hardly any people to socialize with
4) the items/pet food (etc.) were cheaper
5) the pets were more fun to interact with
6) it was confusing trying ot keep track of whether or not you've given the pet medicine for 3 days or 2 or not
Sims have let themselves down with this DS release, and seeing as it was my first game, it made me wonder whether all DS games were like this. Luckily, I have had many games since which are loads better than this, like Mario Party and Mario Kart, you should buy them instead. This game isn't worth the money - go buy something else. PLEASE!!

Repetitive.
Judging by the front cover of the game, I thought the pets were going to be really life like, the pets would be up to mischief, running havoc everywhere, but no. Read more
