-------------
The bestselling PC game of all time is finally making its
console debut: The Sims allows console gamers to create and
control their own little computer people with new level-based
gameplay and swankier 3-D graphics.
Many would have assumed that The Sims could never work on a
console, but one look at this version proves them wrong. In fact,
with the temptation to fall back on a ain of confusing
mouse-operated icons and online patches removed, this could well
be the definitive version. For starters, the graphics now look
much better than before, being in full 3-D instead of just
isometric 2-D. This not only looks better but also allows you to
zoom in and out on the action and feels a lot less sterile than
the original. Things are still as customisable as ever too,
especially via the Create-a-Sim option.
Perhaps the biggest change to how the game plays on consoles is
in the new level-based missions. The PC original had no real
goal; you just designed a family and let them get on with it,
interfering with their virtual life as much or as little as you
wanted. The console version adds some goals and rewards to the
gameplay, which should help to attract the more
attention-deficient among console owners. There's even a rather
odd two-player mode, which, even if it seems a little pointless,
is yet more proof that EA are really trying to make this a proper
worthwhile console experience and not just the cheap cash-in many
would've expected. --David Jenkins

Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
For the first time ever, two people can now play The Sims
together. Play the game with or against your friends as you
challenge them for popularity points and bragging rights. You can
now save your houses and Sims on a memory card and play them on a
friend's system. Customising the appearance of your Sims reaches
a whole new level of detail on the PlayStation 2. Like never
before, players can now create and tailor their Sims with
accessories such as stylish hats, trendy glasses, cool hairstyles
and an enormous variety of clothing options. Your Sims will now
have a multitude of new features. Just like in the original PC
version of The Sims, players will be able to create the perfect
Sim home, customise the Sims who live there and control their
lives. But now in this version of the game, players can explore
an entirely new 3D world that harnesses the full power of the
PlayStation 2 console. There is also a cast of wacky neighbours
to interact with that can! 't be found in any other Sims game.
The new controller-base game interface makes manipulating the
Sims through the triumphs and tribulations of their daily lives
both easy and amusing. Whether it's level-based fun, two-player
challenges, or classic Sim-style open-ended game play, the Sims
are new for the PlayStation 2 console.
