Sims With Incontinent Pets, October 28, 2008
If you were considering whether to get Sims2 or Sims2 Pets for the PSP without a doubt I'd buy the Sims2.
This is more like the original Sims - no storyline and you just progress learning more skills and geting better careers and houses.
BUT it is far less entertaining than the PS2 versions I've played mostly because the lack of locations - your house and one park with a few shops.
The pets are annoying - they takes ages to train and wander off mid training session. You don't get that with learning skills at least the bookcases etc stay in one place. They are not fun pets either. All they seem to do is wander around leaving puddles. You are supposed to be able to scold them and train them but they wander off before you have time to deal with them.
There is a limit on how much you can furnish your house with even on the 3rd out of 4 house size layout. This limit is incredibly small and frustrating. You can't even leave many toys out for the pets to play with. If you exceed this level your Sims possesions catch on fire and you end up with a pile of ashes unless you sell the items in time.
You don't seem to need any skill to play it. I've been leaving it on overnight and the Sims seem to do better by themselves. I just carry on from where they've left off. If you get the skill level up they can get the money, careers and friendship levels up by themselves.
I do like it but it's the least entertaining Sims version I've played.
The good points are its the Sims who are a brilliant concept and it is a good game, there don't seem to be any major glitches - you don't get stuck behind furniture which spoiled a lot of the sims2 psp version. You can control and move around with your Sim in real time mode or in old style control mode line up a series of actions for them.
There are a few fun items - the benches in the park require investigation but overall it seems a little slow and boring with very little gain or progression for achieving anything.
I'd still recommend it if you like the Sims. If you don't have a PSP Sims game buy the Sims2 without the Pets. At least you can wander around lots of different locations and houses. Here it's a bit like Groundhog day.
