Not enough information for the money, February 8, 2007
This review is from: Sims 2 Pets (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback)
This really doesn't have enough information on game cheats and strategy in my opinion for the money. I think they should just give these away with the purchase of the game.
Also, this book has no index. Which really makes it difficult to find specific information. This was the first guide I've bought for my Sims 2 games and will be the last.

Very Informative, December 1, 2006
This review is from: Sims 2 Pets (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback)
While I can figure out a lot of things playing the Sims 2, the Prima guides are very helpful. In particular I learned that when a pet is doing a behavior that can be reinforced they get a little mark by their picture and if you reinforce the behavior with praising or scolding while the pet is doing that behavior..then you can train them.

Not as Helpful as Privious Guides, January 19, 2007
This review is from: Sims 2 Pets (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback)
The Prima Guides for Sims 1 were packed with information that wasn't easy to find in-game. I consider those guides almost essential -- and fun, too!
The writing style of the Sims 2 Prima Guides is completely different. It is too "chatty and chummy" and meanders around before actually getting to a point. And it doesn't actually seem to make many gaming points! They seem to want to talk about the game, and be cool, rather than actually assist players.
I find the writing and formatting styles so distracting that I can't actually read this guide without my mind wandering off. It is difficult to locate information I need. And it doesn't really tell me much that I can't easily find on my own while playing.
I have the Pets guide, the Nightlife guide, and the basic Sims2 guide. I bought them all at the same time. Otherwise, if I'd gotten one, then others, I wouldn't have gotten others!
