More Sims! |
| A gamer from USA says (10/Jun/2003): |
Now that The Sims is on Playstation 2 too, you can play it even more! If your a Sim fan, (like myself) you want as much Sim as you can get everyday! THE SIMS is the coolest game EVER!!! More play, more SIMS! I love the game! GO SIMMYS! GO GO GO SIMMYS!

better than the computer game! |
| jordan from Wisconsin, USA says (4/Feb/2003): |
i couldn't stand they pc version. with my sims are always complaining about stuipd stuff. but in ps2 version it was very a good. if you have good codes that makes the game twice as good.

BETTER ON PS2 THAN PC?!?! |
| VJ from Scotland says (7/Feb/2003): |
I've got all the PC games, but on playing the PS2 version, you can see the top graphics that this games console can produce! Beats anything on the X box and Gamecube. Slightly weaker than GTA:VC, but in a different category all together! Love how the designers came up with the Get A Life mode, to make it a bit more adventurous on PS2.

This is simbrilliant |
| Richard Scanlon from Glasgow Scotland says (9/Feb/2003): |
I think the sims is the best game out for the ps2.I like how you can build your own house and create your own people to live in it.There are a wide range of items that you can buy to customise your home with,this is just one of the reasons why i am on it twenty,four seven.If i had to give the sims a mark out of ten i would give it eleven.

The Sims - great game, could be better!!! |
| Alex from St.Leonards, East Sussex, UK says (20/Mar/2003): |
In my opinion The Sims is a great game on the PS 2 for Maxis and EA to get started with the conversion. But I think that in order to maintain the interest they need to drasticly expand the game. Compared to games such as GTA : Vice City and Smackdown : Shut Your Mouth, the game is a little limited. Vice City had a much larger area to explore and use with a lot more items and Smackdown : Shut Your Mouth had better character design features. The characters in Vice City also had better meshes and movements (with the exeption of the silly running part..hehe).
The Sims is too limited with respect to creating your scenery too. It could also do with creating multiple story buildings since not everyone lives/works in bungalows in real life...lol.
I'd also like to see the content from the PC Expansion packs put into a Sims PS 2 version with added versitility to the character designer. A more adult orientated part would be nice too (password protection, parhaps, like with DVDs so kids can't gain access to such material but still use the game in a more tamer mode).
Other than the above mentioned flaws, the game performs well and can be mastered fairly quickly. There are also some handy cheats, but nothing spectacular in that region - only all objects for free, unlock all 2 player items, that sort of thing.
You'll have to look for the cheats yourself useing a search engine or ask a friend.
My fave parts of The Sims include : setting up/controlling relationships, creating your own characters and watching how they behave/interact with other characters and objects, creating your own properties and seeing if your Sims like it, Generally watching your Sim's reactions to differant things.
The layout and interface is good too, I love the rotational features of all characters and objects and the abbility to move round and watch everything from various angles - either close up or from a distance/bird's eye view.
I'd say this game is kinda like Big Brother/Eastenders/Fresh Prince of Bell Air/Friends type of set up, but doesn't need any of the geeks in it if you don't want it to...hehehe. (ie Fresh Prince without Carlton would be a bonus...lol).
I can't see the game beating the likes of Vice City yet, but it could make Rockstar sweat a bit...lol. I think to seriously contend with Rockstar they need to put in at least some of the things I suggested. Nevertheless, I don't think too many will be disapointed with this game - it's certainly great for those who are new to The Sims.
Happy Gameing.

just a few things i want to say. |
| A gamer from London , England says (5/Jan/2004): |
i think the sims was really good but there was room for improvments the first thing they could sort out is the langage it would have been great to hear what they had to say instead of evrey time they wanted somthing they would have to jump up and down and have a little dream bubble thing telling you what they wanted! the seconed thing is the limit of things you can buy in your house!!! i was really excited when i found out a cheat that makes evrey thing free...that i went straight on it i built a massive house for my family to live in but i was disipointed when i went to put a monkey butler in my house and it would not accepept it because i aready had too many things in my house but isnt that what your meant to do when you have cash to splash...SPEND IT! i had to sell lots of things in the end so i could have that monkey butler.The last problem was adopting a babie...when you adopted one and it grew up into a chlid im not sure about any one else but mine looked like a total idiot!!! it had face paint all over its face and had the weirdist hairstyle and im not being sexist but it was always a boy. i loved the game itself but those improvments would have made it perfect!!!!!!!!!

The Sims Is GREAT! |
| A gamer from Denver, USA says (17/Jan/2003): |
I have played the "The Sims" on the computer and those games are great. The sims for the ps2 is just as good, maybe even better. Its so good because you can use your ps2 controllers to control everything instead of a mouse. Make sure when you play "The Sims" you study up on your cooking and your mechanical books, so that way if something breaks you can fix it, and if you cook without studying the books, you will catch something on fire. The reason that i have given "The Sims" a 9 instead of a 10 is because i can not find any codes or cheats for the game, in the computer versions, the codes and cheats make it very funny. If anyone has any codes send them to me please at a1cnd< remove me > at yahoo.com. it would be deeply appreciated. thank you. and "The Sims" is great.

Wow now this game sucks!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Michael from Chester Vermont says (9/Mar/2003): |
Well sarting out is ok, but the arguing and the annoying little sounds they make are really dumb. I really don't understand the whole idea of the game. You lift weights for a little bit then you have to go eat and after eating you have to go straight to the bathroom, shower if needed and then he is tired you go to sleep, then you wake to eat and go to the bathroom again. It's really kinda dumb cause then you have to be social and learn mechanics and cooking. Which takes forever!!! To learn anything at all, and then you have to go and have some fun so you can study again. It's kinda of pointless not to put the cheating codes along with the game just so you would have fun with the game. Or start off with a lot of money. This may sound like I'm just rambling on about bull about it but it's true and you have to be a geek if you like this game so much!!!

IT's frusterating |
| A gamer from Canada says (15/Mar/2003): |
Its impossible to get to career level 9 and 10 i can`t do it and i hate how you have to make friends to get promoted thats the stupidest thing ever, what does making friends have to do with your career in real life? thats what this game is about right? its overall a fun and hard game but some things are pretty stupid you should be able to get two floors in your house. Is there a way to get two floors?

SIMply the best! |
| Darcy O' Gara from Plymouth, England says (14/Apr/2003): |
This has to be one of the best games out at current.The graphics are great. The characters have curves unlike other games are just straight edges. One good point about The Sims is that it lasts for a long time. There are different modes you can play. I'm glad that Sims turned away from the PC and put it on PS2. The loading time is quick. The only bad thing about this game is that you can build 1 floor. i bought this game 3 months ago and I'm still playing on it. My faverite part of the gameplay is that you can play 2 players.I am definately going to get the sequel to this game if there is one.

adictive, kewl, imaginitive and reality all roled into 1 |
| Louise from England says (26/Apr/2003): |
well the sims, i had all the pc expansion packs (which were great) i used 2 be up all night playing them and when i heared it would be on all 3 consoles i jumped for joy now the sims could live in an all new 3d world. when i first played the game i was amazed with the amount of detail u could put on your sims instead of having just a few standard heads YOU choose the hair style YOU choose the eye colour, hair colour, maybe glasses or a hat YOU design them and the houses they live in. i have complited all 7 levels in get a life and i must say i enjoyed every moment and like the pc games it had me coming back for more. I actually felt as though my sim was growing up and actually was maturing from moving out of mums, getting a job,having the lazy roomate so u do the work, fall in love and get married, having 2 kids and even having 2 work hard to keep them, running a family of 4, making the kids have straight a's and let them go of to prep school and then retirement. the one thing i have a problem with in this game is the fact that you cant buy all the items u want even if u do have the moneya line tells u how much more u can but or build once it is full u can no longer buy anyhthing unless you sell an item this i found very tideous and it made it hard to make my real dream home. is there a way of getting rid of this leesh? the graphics were great, the sounds were quite realistic, and although i have spent tiime writeing this i feel i want to go back to the game and back to reality. GREAT.

And the fun factor....8

A good game, But not great!!! |
| stringplucker777 from Georgia says (17/Aug/2003): |
Dont get me wrong , i love this game!!the designing your characters faces and styles is a very good touch, i must say!! but it gets old after a while( especially with the cheats) Theres only a certain amount your allowed to build, or purchase, thats no good! and the worst thing!! NO SECOND STORYS!! its a good game for a while, the designing buildings and all, but it gets draggy after a while!
(its always fun trapping them in a building, and burning them to death though!)

The Realities -- what the f**k was Maxis thinking? |
| Corwin from Texas says (22/May/2004): |
I've been wanting to purchase The Sims on the PC for years. I finally plunked down 19.95 for the PS2 version. I've always been interested in cellular automata. I've sunk many hours into the SimCity series. I am extremely disappointed with The Sims. I guess the real question is why do so many people love this game and I really hate it? Why, when I love to play games of this genre?
There is not enough utility in this game to keep on playing. For the amount of effort to try to keep your sim happy, you have to spend way too much time manipulating too many details for too little in rewards.
In trying to make it "realistic", Maxis has removed the gameplay. The goals of the game are good: develop relationships, develop a character, get rich and buy cool stuff you only dreamed of in real life. Unfortunately, there is not enough utility to keep the sim happy long enough to do anything constructive. Maxis' goals became reality: deal with mounting problems in life, deal with problematic relationships, make only enough money to get by: be frustrated with life.
Maxis deviated from their basic goals by forcing day-to-day realism. How much real game time is wasted even fast forwarding your sim through sleeping, bladder releasing, reading etc?
Who cares about the graphics and interface if the gameplay is boring?
The Sims could have been a great game had Maxis focused on the goals and had not got caught up in the boring mundane details of life.

The Sims. Who are they? |
| Simon from USA says (10/Nov/2002): |
The sims is a game that steps out of the box and into the circle...that's right, a game without edges or end. A game of wonder, mystery, and above all life. You get to play god in this beautiful game that teaches us all about life, death, friends, love...it is a game about how to be happy, how to live a good and full life. You can learn so much for this game. Not only will you enjoy watching your sim succeed but you'll enjoy living with them, watching their every move. You'll fall in love with your characters, I know I did...the game becomes a part of your life and gives it a touch of sims-plicity.

My Opinion On The Sims |
| april from selkirk,ny says (27/Nov/2002): |
The Sims is a realalastic game about cartoon people that need to be taken care of like an other people or they will get sick,derpesed, or they can even die. what you do is you pick a family you get to pick the peole the cloths and house.its like any other person they clean go to he bathroom take showers cook and lots more. They need to get a job to get money to suport the family. And they need to be happy not depresed or they can die. What else is They need to hae a friend or some one who loves them or they will not have a social life witch they need in order to keep them happy. And if you don't keep them clean no one will want to go near them so keep them clean and make sure the have hole bunch of friends o keep them happy.thir are many sims games such as,The Sims,The Sims Hot Date,The Sims Vacation,The Sims Online,The Sims Livin Large,The Sims Unlished, and thier is lots of other games i can think of and that is all i can really say about The Sims so tht is it or my inerview on The Sims.

Take Care of Me!! |
| Famey from Malaysia says (11/Jan/2003): |
The Sims is really a great game.It's kinda like cyberpets but got much MORE things to do. You'll have a great time creating a family,building houses,buying furnitures and arrange them and finally take care of them. But if you're a gamer like me,this game will last for a few weeks and then you leave it in your CD rack and forget it. Music is great and if you buy a radio you can listen to "simradio." What makes this game doesn't last long is because it got no objective in it. It doesn't have mission like "Get this guy to marry that girl in a year." But if you're the kind of gamer who loves to rule and watch people do things the way you say, this game is for you.
