Product Description:
The Sims is one of the world's most popular PC games, and now it's coming to your Playstation 2!

Amazon.com Review:
The Sims has much in common with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater: There's a great emphasis trial and error, it encourages personalized solutions to problems, and overall success comes down to both balance and timing. Also, like the Tony Hawk games, The Sims is a very addictive game.

Players micromanage the lives of a family of virtual people and influence the outcome of their lives, be it success or something akin to a nervous breakdown. The bestselling PC version of the game has, in recent years, been upgraded with elements like parties, pets, and vacations, but this iteration is closer to the basic formula.

You start the game living with Mom in a one-story suburban house. You are immediately presented with certain life tasks, such as fixing the TV and making lunch, which are aligned with the skills you'll need for the game's main challenge--keeping your sims in balance on eight conflicting categories. For example, eating will have an impact on your sim's hunger rating, but it will also impact his bladder rating. You'll have to make sure that he keeps himself and the house clean, that he sleeps to restore his energy, and that he also has time to keep himself entertained. The free will option lets your sims coast a bit, and you can also save time by stacking tasks together. Time passes at the rate of about one minute per second in the game, but you can fast-forward sim time when you need to, such as when they're sleeping.

The controls are justifiably complex, but adjusting to them is not difficult. You see your sims from an overhead perspective that you can both rotate and zoom. You direct their actions by moving a line cursor to where you want them to go or to what object or person with which you want them to interact.

The game is surprisingly funny. Neglect your sims and they'll shout and wave their arms to get your attention. Allow one's energy to get too low and he or she will likely collapse and sleep right where they were standing. When that happens, Mom is likely to serve them dinner on the floor.

Gamers may find that it takes a while to get the hang of The Sims' style and control scheme. Stick with it and you may find real time fast-forwarding by. --Porter B. Hall

Pros:

Interesting, open-ended gameplay
Lots of quirky humor
Two-player split-screen option

Cons:

Can be frustrating for those unfamiliar with strategy games
Controls take some getting used to
Long save times

- Great Games
I purchased this game for my Granddaughter and she absolutely loves it. While I have purchased many used items I was really surprised at the great condition of this game. I definately would purchase used items again. Thanks

- Just ok
I'd recommend some of their newer releases of The Sims for the PS2.. this is definitely a grind in comparison... a step up in graphics from The Sims 1 on the PC, but their following releases on the PS2 are funner with an edge of humor (The Sims 2, The Sims 2 Pets, The Urbz...). Seems unfinished in general. Lack of 'style' (very plain clothes and objects to choose from). The sims are very robotic in movement. After a while of playing their 'Get a Life' mode, I found myself just trying to get the houses ... Read More

- My kids luv it! I hate listening to it! = )
The kids love the game, and even I get somewhat addicted to it when they want me to help them out with something. I hate the noises the people make, it gets into your head...lol = )

- Very Nice; Of course not the best in the world.
I've had this game for a couple of years now, and so I have played this game a lot. I had a little trouble with picking a star rating for how fun it is, because I would give it 5 stars, But since a lot of gamers prefer fighting or shooting games, I gave it 4.
I'll tell you about the three basic modes to play in this game:
(Get a Life, Play The Sims, Bonus)

1. GET A LIFE.

In get a life you can create a character and begin to play in a series of levels. It's sort ... Read More

This game works correctly, I think. But I had trouble getting out of the first room, it doesn't really tell you what to do either..so I am kinda stuck in one room of the house.the very first level....I haven't touched the game in months, when I purchased it.
It hasn't spiked my interest enough to go back to try to figure it out yet.
