Video Game Reviews of The Sims 2 Pets
Customer Review: Don't buy this junk.
Summary: 2 Stars
Let's get down to the bottom of this. This game, is one of the WORST sims games that I have played. This is also the FIRST sims game that I have played as well. This is not at all related to the Sims 2 Pets for the PC, this is a hideous hybrid that has crept out of the dungeon depths of beta-testing. You start off with a squarish-ugly thing that's suppose to be a pet or a cat. You see whats wrong with it and fix it, get money from the customer, then attend to yourself. Your suppose to be a "vet".
First off, time passes WAY too fast in this game. By the time you've feed yourself you'll have to run to take care of the other pets or use the bathroom before its too late. Doing this over, and over is so boring its petty. While other sims games have an automatic feature in which, when their hungry they will fix themselves something, this one doesn't. Your sim is so dumb that if it needs to use the bathroom, it'll stand there until it releases upon itself. It'll also stand and starve itself and others.
Lack of living.
Seriously, your sims world exist on taking money from customers, running up quickly to customers in your shop and talking to them, occasionally going to the park to get other customers, then sitting on the computer ordering food and products for yourself. That is what your sim does. There is no romance, no dating, no nothing. Just seeing what's wrong as this whinny square-looking animal thing drags its lower half on the table or limps around unrealistically. Gee. You dress it with some crappy clothes, teach it some tricks in which its already unporportioned body stands up and dances around to a very, very cheesey song. Friends? What friends? You have none. Your sims life is based on ordering from a computer to buy food and products. That is your only friend. A cold-clunky machine. But if your really, really bored you can "mix" these animals to produce more "hybrids". That's right, change the coat into two-toned colors, half of the animal can be white and the other half completely black(and have an obvious change of color "line" down the middle of the animal). Make its head bigger than its body or smaller than its neck. Make it skinny, make it fat. Make it stringy-looking. This is a creation that not even Frankenstein would approve of. It just sucks that badly graphically. These animals do little to nothing except whine about their injuries. All you'll ever do is try to hear its heartbeat, if its not sliding around on the floor, or examine its bones with the x-ray, if it's not wiggling around either. Then bath it because its dirty or has fleas. Or feed it medication because it has a cold. I'd rather play Nintendogs or Trauma Center than this poor excuse of a game.
There's no places to go other than the park located outside of your house. That's it, build a swing set or two or even put in more trees and fountains but that's all your going to really do here. But you won't really be able to do that too much. Cus you'll be running back inside of the house to use the bathroom or eat while in the middle of a conversation or risk starving/releasing on yourself in public. Don't forget to feed em critters too or the owners will be hopping mad and spread rumors so no one can visit you.
The cooking mini-game, why does it even exist? At first it seems fun but after awhile it gets very, very annoying. More ingredients means trickery cooking times. Your literally cooking from when the lights flash on the oven. So if your even a second off, your food will taste bad!!! That means no health bonuses.
[...]. This game had the potential of being something good but it gutted the basic sim game elements that makes a sims game, a sims game and refused to elaborate on that. It seems rushed and it plays rushed.
Description of The Sims 2 Pets
The Sims 2: Pets gives your Sims the chance to raise & care for a pet! Choose from a variety of existing breeds, and hot designer mixes, but they'll also be able to personally design their new friend. Teach them new tricks, take them for a romp in the park, outfit them with new pet accessories and even give them a job! As in real life, your Sims' pet will require care and training. A neglected cat with an urge to scratch might claw up your new couch if you aren't careful, and leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isn't wise. With so many different animals to choose from, there's no telling what unpredictable experiences could occur! Own and operate a pet store where you can help other Sims pick out the perfect pet -- and earn extra Simoleans by selling pet products Pamper, preen, and nurse all the neighborhood pets at your new Pet Care CenterLife Games
