5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite Sims game, Dec 1 2008
ALright, so Sims 2, first off for those of you who are already Sims fans, there's sort of two "types" of Sims games that different people have come to love, there's Sims for the portable systems where you generally follow a preset story line, and complete multpiple obkective demands, the only variety beetween two beaten sims games on a portable counsel, is what you have in your house (the houses themselves would be identical) your relationships, and how your Sim looks, while on the CPU and other stationary systems, you have much more liberty. However, I personally much prefer the portable versions for they keep you entertained and never leave you with a dull moment. Your ALWAYS controlling your Sim, whether he's working (which pretty much means you play a minigame and get payed) or sleeping (which I'll admit is a pretty boring 6 seconds).
As far as the portable Sims gaming goes it's excellent, it has by far the best graphics of any portable console (gba, ds) and has an addictive fun storyline. Everything you do in the game is a minigame, even to talk you play a genre of rockpaper scissors which makes relationships so much more fun to build. The comedy in the storyline is hysterical, and there's always new character to love. The minigame factors in this game are a primary part of me liking it, every job is a different minigame and depending on how well you succeed in the game, that's how much you get paid. Unfortunately, to pull this game away form being the enjoyable entertainement we all hoped for, there are glitches. This is the only thing that bothered me in the game, nothing was fluent, everything had a second or two hesitation, this can very easily irritate someone, and it's for everything, a two second loading time, performing the simplest action, to wavin, to talking, things that shouldn't involve a wait demand some time. SOme people complained that this messed them up for they pressed buttons while it was loading so it didn't register, well obviously you can compensate for the glitch by just pressing the same button repeatedly until it loads. THe wait itself only works in your favor as well for it gives you more time to decide your answer (the conversations, you see what they say and your possible answers, then it takes the two three seconds to loda thus giving you an advantage). Also, on the original PSP 1000, the game did crash on me a few times forcing me to retry certain parts, uncertain whether glitches or delays would occcur on a higher model (the 300) or a higher update (3.8 or higher). To conclude, the game is very addicting, with a funny storyline, and original gameplay that will keep you playing for 10's of hours of pure enjoyment. Yes, there are the setbacks that I mentioned, but it still doesn't stop this game from being one of my favorites. I would buy it if you were interested enough to read these reviews, the only advice I have is whether or not SIMS 2 CASTAWAY is the same style without all the mini load times and glitches. This game though, is definitely addictive enjoyable entertainement.
