After quite a few other sites, GameSpy can't stay behind - of course. In the 2-page long review, there's one paragraph which tells more about the competative game mode:

"Sadly, the two-player mode doesn't deliver the goods. At times, the competition feels more like a festival of yawns than edge-of-your-seat action. If you like social games, though, you may find competing against a friend in popularity contests and con jobs a worthwhile endeavor. It's also confusing to me why the competitive mode isn't easier to find. Just in case, it's buried under the Get A Life mode, under "Bonus.""

The review is quite positive though. They find the 3D environment a pro, and the new game modes - especially the Get-a-life mode - are good. With a score of 85 out of 100, the game is good according to GameSpy. Read the whole review on this page. For more reviews of The Sims (PS2), visit our review index.
