I've played a few Sim games before and this has got to be one of the best sim games if you love pets. I love how you can create a family and have pets included. It is a little hard controlling both your sims and your pets needs but it is still great.

You can't command your pet to do what you want, but you can control your sims like any other sims games. The beginning is a little tough because I was trying to adjust myself to the new addition with the pets.

It makes it a lot easier that you don't have to play mini games to earn money from your job but at the same time it does take some fun away from the game.

All in all, this is a solid game for anyone who is into Sims and pets.

--Glitches--

There were a few glitches in the game as far as moving some objects and placing them around the house. For instance when I was trying to put my dog bowl somewhere in the house the screen would go berserk and I wouldn't be able to move anywhere. The only way to get out of the glitch was to get out of the "grab" menu and select one of my sims. It's an awful glitch but it's very uncommon.

I think this is by far the best Sims game to hit the Nintendo platform. Although there are some things missing from this game, such as gaining points to move to a new house, I think it surpasses its predecessors. First of all, they have exotic dog breeds, they have a Pharaoh Hound...need I say more. It's always fun getting a game featuring dogs that allows you to pick a breed other than a lab.

Another huge bonus is weekends. Ever get tired of playing the old Sims games because you didn't have enough time to keep your sim happy, clean, and full. No problem now. You have two extra days to pick up your Sims needs and also earn points.

Finally, the best part is the shopping. You actually get to go into the Town Square and buy cool little things for you and your pet. Buy a cute dog bed, a goldfish, and grab a latte and a hotdog on the way out. Not to mention the cool restroom you can use while you're there. Doesn't really sound exciting, but it's cool when you're used to the old games where the only time you leave the house is to work, and you don't even get to see anything.

Having owned and loved the entire series in computer format, I was excited when I heard Sims2-Pets for the Wii was alot like them. The gameplay and storyline ARE very similar. However, the controls are difficult to figure out, and even harder to master. You have to concentrate so much on hitting different combinations of buttons to preform even simple functions that your interest in the story is pretty much lost. I really wanted to love this game, but the poor controls make playing feel like work.

I loved the way you could interact with animals, it was like no other sims game before. I definitely suggest buying it, but if you don't read the guide it won't make sense at all.

For a PC game on the Wii, it wasnt bad at all. My wife spent many hours playing it. I would rate this used by a person that has not played PC version. You will get more out of it.

This game is very addicting!! Once you get past the controls - you use both the remote and nunchuck - it is a very fun game!! It is almost exactly like the computer game which I like. I just can't get the cheat for the money to work. I would definately suggest this game to anyone who likes the Sims.

I find this game to be quite addicting (in a good way)! Without noticing, I can spend hours taking control of the lives of the Sims characters, while ensuring they take care of their pet and each other. Unlike some reviewers, I found the control scheme to work just fine, even better than on a PC, once you actually spend the time to LEARN them. They actually become second nature once you've actually played the game for any length of time. It's fun and challenging to keep the Sims happy and motivated, and working on the home and yard design and layout is significant!

I enjoy games with almost infinite replay value (including many sports games), and this is one of the best I've played on the Wii so far. Now that EA has announced Sims Animals for this fall, I might have to pick that up, as well as Animal Crossing: City Folk this holiday!

Great game easy to play fun for kids of all ages. Gave it as a birthday present to my 14 year old neice

I'm a true Sims fan. I love the creativity and amusement aspect of the whole Sims world. I love seeing all sorts of things they can do.

Sims 2 Pets brings yet more endless hours of entertainment...and now this game allows us to include our furry bundles of joys into our families...no, not hairy children, but our canine and feline companions. I also enjoy being able to play on my big screen rather than my comp or laptop screen. The controls take a bit of getting used to (since they're different from keyboard and mouse), but are still very easy.

EA is Genius.

The game froze on me once and I had to restart the game.
I am hoping this does not happen again! Otherwise the game
itself its great.. just hope it doesn't act up again..:(
