The Sims 2: Pets (Nintendo DS, 2006)

I had purchased one before and my children had played it so much on road trips and around the house on rainy days that they actually wore it out. Which is why I had to purchase another. I really think the best quality of this game is that children of all ages can play this game for hours and you do not have to worry about the recent splurge of violence and sexual references that have contaminated childrens games of late. The children played this game for hours and it appeared to have a vast amount of challenges for them that kept there attention. You can feel safe knowing that your children of all ages are playing a game that doesnt have them memorizing what gun blows up what bad guy. The game is about a person who goes to work, takes care of animals. Working hard keeps a strong work ethic in the game giving you a better experience and money (in the game of course) and improves your quality of life and items you can purchase, which I feel makes a subtle lesson about life for the children. I have seen two year olds play this game with a little assistance, and 12 year olds who have appeared to master the game, and both loved playing. The game is not difficult to play but does offer a few challenges to keep the older kids interested.
My overall rating for this game would have to be an A+.

I bought this game because my little sister had been wanting to play it forever.
It seemed like everykid in her school had this game and she begged and begged to get it. The retail value on this game new was over $40 It was something i just could not afford at the time.
The game i bought was used without a case but in excellent condition. I knew for a fact that my sister usually loses the cases so I knew that this was not going to be a big deal. My sister loves this game it provieds lots of entertainment for her. She wants to be a vet when she grows up and on the game
your caricter can be a vet. I loved the price it was under $10.00 and the game played and looked as if it was brand new. Plus if she gets bored with it it is something that the other kids in my family can play. So they will have years of enjoyment. I rate this game a 8 out of 10 due to DS games not having as great of graphics. However there is a good story line to follow. Overall highly recommended.

My nine year old got a DS for Christmas and along with that came the Nintendogs. So we thought that Sims Pets might be along the same lines, but it really is not as good as I expected. Routines become tedious real quick. I have seen Sims played on PC, and was expecting something similar but this is quite limited in it's capacity to engage the user. If your child has already played Sims on PC, this is a step back, however for a first time "Sims user" or a child 9 or younger, it may be entertaining short term. Get yourself a deal on one on e-bay; don't pay retail, this game certainly is not worth the price the stores are charging.

My daughter thought that in this game you would be able to interact and create sims, just like the pc games. But the only thing you can do is be a vet and take care of pets other than your own. You get to create ONE pet and ONE sim and the misery begins. The instructions are hard to understand, and the way the controls are set up are very confusing. Every 10 minutes someone will come to your door telling you that their dog or cat is sick, and your the only one to fix it. This is a very boring game, and unless you like doing the same thing, over and over and over and over again, do not buy this game!!!!!!

Great service and quality product. My daughter loved this game and we enjoyed getting it so fast. Nintendo games are durable and it is cost efficient to buy used games. the games retain their value so i may even use ebay to sell some of ours that we don't play anymore.
