731. The Sims 2 (DS) Reviews

Written on Wednesday 2 November 2005 at 16:33 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Although there are quite a few reviews for the console version of the Sims 2 already, there aren't as many for the DS and GBA versions. The game on the latter platform hasn't been reviewed yet (at least we haven't found any reviews yet), but the Sims 2 on DS has been scored twice. IGN says the game is heavily divided into chapters, and especially the real-time clock in the game is discussed in their review. For example, it'll take eight real-time hours to finish building a room, but getting some sleep can be done in 30 seconds. It also seems the game has been inspired by Animal Crossing, an other open adventure game. Altogether it's a solid game, worth 8.2 points (out of 10). Check out the IGN review for details.

The other review is from PGNx. They call the real-time clock nice as well, but say it adds some unnecessary waiting time, as the story is quite structured. Besides that structure, it is also open enough to stay interesting. The 3D mode and the use of all DS technologies is another benefit to the score of 8.5 out of 10. To find out what else they had to say, check the PGNx review.
