The Sims 2: Pets (DS)

I have always been a big fan of the sims on the pc and when I recieved a Nintendo DS for my birthday this was the first game I bought. Looking at the packaging it seamed very much like the old sims I used to play. You can create your own pet choosing from a cat or a dog and then there are many breeds available in each species. Once you have chosen your pet you can then customise it's name, gender, colour and clothing. Once you are complete with pet you move into your appartment which is also the town vet's. You can buy and build furniture and vetrinary equipment in your appartment and as you progress through the game you can move to bigger and ...  Read the complete review

I love, love, love the Sims 2. I play it on my PC and DS but I have to admit this game was a disappointment. It cost around £19.99 which was a complete waste of money. The cover is the same as on the PC case (and the PC game is good but after all it is just an expansion, the DS game stands alone). The thing that struck me was the poor quality of the graphics. They were certainly a let down. Firstly, you must make your Sim and they select its pet (which can only be a cat or a dog). Unlike the other Sim games for DS, this has no tasks for you to fulfil, it's all a bit repetitive. Basically, people bring their pets (which start to look the same just with ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of the sims, more so on the PC but I initially thought that all of the versions would be the same, whether they were on the computer or DS. In this case I seem to of been a bit wrong! The set up is pretty simple-and possibly the bit where I spend the most thought and dedication. After all, clothes are very important. You can, naturally, pick whether you want a man or a woman, the hair, body size, clothes. You can also choose your own pet. Cat or Dog. Long haired or short, the different breeds and even the name! At the moment I'm perfectly happy with my black cat, Eugene. Like all sims games you earn money by getting jobs and as ...  Read the complete review

I got this game as part of a 2 for £19.99 offer in argos. I didn't know what else I wanted for christmas so I thought I might as well, considering that I have played on the PC version of the sims and found it quite entertaining. It is a pretty simple concept of a game once you get the hang of it, although once you have got the hang of it, it is pretty simple, and dare I say it, boring. What you have to do is build up your main character, which is who you will be for the whole of the game. You can make it male or female, choose it's close and what it's face will look like, basically the same as what you would do on the PC version. You also get to build your ...  Read the complete review

Being an avid fan of The Sims 2 for PC, I thought that there'd be no better way to start off my DS games collection than with The Sims 2: Pets. I was wrong! The game is essentially very simple - the character you play is a vet, therefore you must treat the patients. There are various breeds of cats and dogs, and you must bathe them, give them medicine, feed them, dress them up and teach them tricks. You can also have your own pet dog or cat, with whom you do the same. Unfortunately, the game is very repetitive and I grew increasingly bored doing the same things over and over. Perhaps I've been spoilt by the amazingness of The Sims 2 and all the ...  Read the complete review
