Several Pre- and reviews of the Sims 2 Pets for Nintendo's Wii have appeard on the web recently. The game is almost a direct port of the PlayStation 2/GameCube version of the game, but focuses on the Infra-Red technology of the Wii to do the controls. There are four articles, all of which say basically the same: there's no much difference with the versions released on the other two consoles earlier. The Wii's remote is the main new feature, as it allows you to just basically draw the outline of your houses using the Wiimote as a sort of pencil. The pointer then allows you to apply floors, set up wall locations and apply paint to the walls as well. As it behaves much like a mouse it works well for the Sims. Other than that the articles cover the base aspects of the game, which have already been discussed thoroughly when the game was released last year. So without diving into each (p)review in detail, just follow the links below to read the full articles:
42. Pets Stories Previews

Three websites have recently covered The Sims Pet Stories in previews, which also give the first details of what kind of stories can be expected in the soon to be released title.
GameSpot, the first of them, starts with what we know: The Sims Stories is for those who are too dazzled with the Sims 2 and want something accessible. Pet Stories will be about Alice who is about to lose her home. Preparing her Dalmatian Sam for a dog show, she hopes she can raise enough money to save her house. It's your task to train the dog and perform various tasks through the 12 chapters of the first story. The other story is about an executive chef Stephen, who gets Diva, his cousin's cat living with him. Just like Life Stories, the game is laptop friendly, runs in a window, and contains a free play mode as well. GameSpot's information is in their
preview.
IGN PC gives the pets names, and also mention some of the unique objects in Pet Stories. There will be tires, see-saws and hurdles and ramps to train your pets on. IGN says it won't be possible to export those items to the original Sims version, but if history repeats itself the community will find a way to port the objects to The Sims 2 without problems. IGN also reveals that a dog bed is one of the chapter ending rewards. Details are in the
preview. Finally there's
WorthPlaying, which mentions Diana Gabor as Alice's competative rival. They also say that Alice's story is focussed on teaching the dog new tricks, whereas Stephen's one is all about housetraining the cat. 70 Dog breeds and 30 cat breeds will be available in the game (The Sims 2 Pets had 72 dogs, 30 cats). Birds and womrats appear to have been phased out, says WorthPlaying, though they still appear in official
screenshots. Find WP's words in their
preview. The five screenshots that all these websites have published can be seen below as well.
