The Sims 2 Pets
Ages: Everyone

I've played Sims since I've played games, and that means playing the game on the PC. I have a whole library of Sims games and I wondered how would Sims 2 Pets play on the Game Boy, the DS or the Game Cube.

I am so impressed at how complete a game Electronic Arts made for the GBA. It comes with an apartment, or house if you wish, the ability to customize your Sim's gender, hair, color, clothing, personality – the whole works. There is a complete town inside this little box, loads of people to interact with, jobs, and the usual Sim needs to attend to. A few hints: the talk button can be rotated to make for social interaction and tip two -- buy just the basics for your apartment – bed and refrigerator, the Welcome Committee will give you the shower and toilet. That way you have enough simoleons to buy a pet without having to get a job first.
