actually The Sims 2 isn't out on PSP yet, but it is coming out this fall, as well as the the versions for PSP, Game Boy Advance, DS, XBox, I think Game Cube, and also for cell phones.

I remember reading when I got the game originaly that the version for Macs wouldn't be out at the same time. I didn't realize that it still wasn't out. That would be annoying. I hope it comes out before much longer so you can enjoy the game too.

Thanks for the comment. :)

I'm so frustrated right now. I've always been one of the first to buy the new expansian packs for The Sims, but about one month ago I bought a ibook and said goodbye to my pc. So the Sims 2 isn't even out yet! They say it will be out in may, but that's very unlikely. In the meantime, everyone's bragging about it and I'm on the edge of my seat.


cheers and nice and thorough review,
thea

I've tried to explain it to my mom some too..though she doesn't play any games at all, so she wasn't that interested.
It took me a little while to figure out a few things, but it is fun. :)
I'll probably bet getting the expansions as they come out too.

ROFLMAO!! :) Been playing it almost non-stop since I got it a few days ago. It's so cool!! :) So life-like it's not even funny! I was explaining it to my mom and she said sounded to much like real life (work, pay bills, kids, housework, home repairs, getting old and fat, etc) to be any fun! LMAO! I can't wait for the expansion pack to come out! It aught to be a scream!!

Oops..sorry about that. :)

I was going to get it as soon as I did either. Then I found it..held the box. And left the store with it. I just couldn't resist once I had it in my hands. ;)

Once again, great review!!

That's ok. Everyone has their own standards for rating. I don't get upset about it. And I did forget to mention a few things. So it's ok. :)

I really don't have too many games. I had considered writing about the original Sims game, but I talked myself out of it. When I first got this one, I had no intention of writing on it, but after playing it a while, I got my courage up to try. I guess I've been a little...intimidated about trying to branch out in other areas. I was nervous about my computer and printer reviews when I did those too.

Sue,
I really was going to be good and hold off on this. Then I kept reading things about the game that made it sound so good and I was wanting it more. I probably shouldn't have splurged to get it, but oh well. I've been having lots of fun with it.
I still have the original game on my computer..I haven't gone back to it yet, but I think I will sometime. I miss the pets. :)

Thanks for the comment. :)

lookee hthat...

a lone Helpful rating...

I wonder where that came from...

Speaking as a fellow Helpful-ly labeled author, I would just like to say that I believe that this is one of the best game reviews I have ever seen on epinions.

Too bad it's only Helpful...oh well - the world is certainly a patchwork of opinions, isn't it. wait, did I spell that right?

Good one, Marie.

You've managed to hold out longer than I did. I only lasted a few days. But I have been having a lot of fun with the game and am glad that I got it.

There is a lot to this game and I wanted to try to cover all the important things. I was a bit nervous about writing a game review since I haven't done one before.
I'm glad you liked the review.

When I first got the game, I wasn't planning to write about it, but after I got to playing and enjoying it, I decided I would be brave and venture into an area I've never written in before. It did take a while to get the review done because I kept thinking of other things that I wanted to include.

Thanks for the comment. :)

I can easily lose track of time and spend hours playing it.

You're telling me. I got the first Sims and was so happy when my desktop monitor broke because it gave me a chance to stop playing the game for awhile because my laptop wouldn't play the thing. Now that I have a knew desktop, I have been back at it. I was not happy when my brother told me this one came out...I've been trying to refrain from buying it! :-)

This was a great comprehensive review Marie.

This might be the most comprehensive game review I've ever read - and on one of the most subltly complex games ever made.

You get an A .

30 paragraphs? Impressive for anyone, especially impressive for someone generally outside the gaming effort. Took me a long time to read, but it was a good review.

I didn't set out to make this review this long, but once I got started on it, I kept thinking of things I wanted to mention and it kept growing.

I thought I wrote longer reviews of games, butthis takes the cake. I think I'll have to go back and add all of the things I took out of my review of Sims 2 and see it's even longer than this.

Then again.. maybe not.
