Editorial Reviews :
The bestselling PC game of all time is finally making its console debut as The Sims arrives on PS2, allowing console gamers to create and control their own little computer people, with new level-based gameplay and swanky 3-D graphics.
Many would’ve assumed that The Sims could never work on a console, but one look at the work that has already gone into the PS2 version will easily prove them wrong. In fact, without the temptation to fall back on a mountain of confusing mouse-operated icons and online patches, this could well end up being 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 it allows you to zoom in and out on the action, and feels a lot less sterile than the original. Things are still as customizable as ever too, especially via the Create-a-Sim option.
Perhaps the biggest change to how the game plays is the PS2’s 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 PS2 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 is really trying to make this a proper worthwhile console experience, and not just the cheap cash-in many would’ve expected. --David Jenkins
Buyer Reviews :
Just got this game yesterday and so far I am impressed. Wasn't sure how controlling it would be after having played it on the computer. I have all the previous expansion packs, etc for the PC and I love the game. So far, I'm impressed, you really get to personalize the characters far more than you could on the PC. The 'Get a Life' section of the game is great. You have certain goals you must complete in each house, starting out in Mom's house, then renovating a fixer upper, having a roomie, having your own, all the way up to havine two children and then retiring and buying a yacht. For those that bored easy with the PC version, having specific goals to complete might make this more attractive for you. However I could play the Open ended play forever and be happy and with this, I can do that and more. Having just gotten this I haven't delved to far into the 2 player mode but found it great fun also. An example is working against your opponent in a museum to make friends so that you can eventually ask them for money. Who ever collects the most money obviously wins. This is almost everything great about the PC sims but with extras and no delay in playing or getting kicked out. I can't wait to play some more. I suggest everyone to check this out, it's completely different from anything else out there.
