Pros: A new way to play, detailed characters, achieving skills at other sims houses.
Cons: A new memory card required for each sim/player you create.
This was my first non PC exposure to the Sims. It's very different. Characters are very detailed-but make sure you get it right the first time. If you're like me, you'll be living with this Sim a long time. Creating a new Sim means starting a new game-unless you have lots of memory cards, anyway.
The game is based on an achieve goals, move (bust out) strategy. Far beyond the required job skills like the PC version. Goals include things like talking to other sims, using fast forward, getting a job, etc. Each new residence has new goals. Each goal unlocks something somewhere in the game (stuff to buy, build, social actions, etc.).
The two player version is a little frustrating- the screen splits diagonally, making it hard to see what's going on, and if either player goes somewhere, they both have to go.
