PC Game Review: The Sims 2 Pets - Page 2

On the flip side, you must correct them when they cause damage, keep them fed and contend with the occasional late night barking. If you get too negligent, animal control will visit and remove all your pets.

Once registered (use the phone) you can also make designer/hybrid breeds (required to have a male and female plus the pet house where they can … you know … “WooHoo”). Once that's done, your cute little kittens and puppies require additional help when maneuvering around your place.

Luckily, this game includes some design/leveling options that can make your house more accessible for pets.

The detailed graphic options in the pet creation are very deep. There are special rewards, like the “Kibble of Life” and unlockable/sharing options with GameCube and Playstation 2 version players (who can enjoy taking their pet to the park).

One featured unlockable is Hilary Duff and her beloved Chihuahua, Lola, which can be downloaded from sims2.com until the end of 2006. The PSP version is rated T while the Nintendo DS and GameBoy Advance versions are rated E and also have unique features on each respective version like a pet care center (DS) and pet walkers/veterinarians (GBA).

Sharing works well in this game and most players will appreciate the open ended/experiment-type game play. Players can go as deep as they want (just like the deep holes you’ll likely see in your yard), especially for taskmaster players who have all the expansion packs (Open for Business, University, Nightlife).

Requires The Sims 2, The Sims 2 special DVD Edition or The Sims 2 Holiday Edition to play.

The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Crude Humor, Sexual Themes and Violence. This game can also be found on: GBA, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PS2, PSP.

    I think the ps2 version is a little bit lame this is why:
    1. your house can only be 1 story high
    2. the only place you can go is to the town square
    3. You can't have babies
    4. it does not have as much stuff as the computer version
    I think you should take these into consideration!!!

    I think sims 2 pets is probably the best game ever, you can sell the animals, breed them, adopt them, and even create them :) IT IS SWEET!
