The Game is the BOmb
I bought this game 4 my sis 4 Christmas she always wanted the sims 2 but my pc was not the best because of the specifications you needed. I decided 2 buy her the Sims 2 4 game cube & she enjoys it very much. She was addicted 2 Sims & talked about getting sims 2 4 at least 2 years. The only thing she does not like about this one is that you can't make children but she likes 2 Woohoo!! anyway. She like 2 play it in story mode since there is more adventure that way & thats were you get 2 unlock streets & clothes etc. The game is great & if your pc is too slow 4 the Sims 2 i recommend this one.

Why all the negative reviews? I LOVE this game!
I'm unsure why this game received so many negative reviews. I had this 4 my PS2 & loved it so much that I bought the Gamecube version 2 use on my Wii. If you know anything about Sims games 4 video game systems, you'd know that the majority of them are not completely like the original PC version. If you buy this game, you must know that no, this isn't exactly like the original BUT it's still fun nonetheless.
So what's 2 like about this game? First, I prefer 2 play with another person because it can get hard having 2 control multiple people. Each character has their own goals (some are hard & some are easy). You must achieve these goals while maintaining a job (preferably) & keeping your stats up high. It can get difficult but that's what I love about it. While one character is trying 2 keep his hunger level up, I can switch 2 another character & achieve her goal of painting a quality picture. There's a ton 2 do 2 keep you busy. Eventually, you get your gold goals that, once completed, unlock another location. The different places you can live in are so cool (from an ordinary house, 2 a hotel, 2 an artist's museum). You can even live on a boat once you complete a few rounds of the game!
Second, when you go 2 each new location, you get 2 hear a story about what's going on with the people who live there & what their ultimate goals involve. Each location has different goals & a cast of wacky chracters which makes 4 a non-repetitive game.
Third, it doesn't get old. Yes, once you beat the entire game, you may not want 2 replay the whole thing over again. However, after you achieve your gold goals, you can still play at certain locations & the goals keep on coming.
What's not 2 like? Those who want this 2 be exactly like the original game will be disappointed. No, you can't have children. No, you don't have complete control in Free Play mode. However, the achieving goals part of the game is fun & addictive.
Be sure 2 TRY this game before completely writing it off as a bad one. You may enjoy it! It's one of my favorite console games.

WARNING! YOU CANNOT HAVE CHILDREN IN THIS VERSION OF THE SIMS 2! YOUR SIMS WILL NEVER GROW OLD!
No one else directly adressed this problem so I will. In Create A Family, I only had the option 2 make adult sims, no old people, no kids, babies, nothing. Plus when I created a family this way, I could not make them siblings, wife, exc... They're all "Roommates". The "Try For Baby" option does not appear. When my male sims were abducted by aliens, they did not return pregnant. I've tried it a dozen times on 1 male sim & he NEVER became pregnant. Plus, my sims never age in this game. I have taken them through several weeks & they have never grown old. The Gamecube version seems like it was watered down so 6 year olds could play it. Maybe that's why I couldn't do any of the above. *laughs*
Consider the above when you buy the GC version of Sims 2.

It's not that great
I purchased this game with some of my spare money & it wasn't worth the money at all.It's fun at first but it gets boring extremely quickly.The gamecube version is not as great as the PC version,which isn't fair.If you play in story mode,it is very hard 2 win & I eventually just give up.I don't recommend this game unless you enjoy these kind of things.It's not worth the money in my opinion.
The Sims 2 is an incredible sequel 2 the best-selling game! You'll get 2 direct an entire Sims' lifetime, trying 2 help them reach their goals in life. Will they have a long, successful & happy life - or will they end up poor & heartbroken?

Buy Sims 2 Now!
The BIG problem is that this game sucks compared 2 the PC versions. If this is one of the first Sims you have played 4 any console...It is a great start! This might be one of the best "Sims" game 4 all consoles excluding PC.
The Good:
-You can actually control your own Sim (like move him around yourself)
-You have "Wants" & "Fears" that make you Sim unique!
-Game is fairly long, & surprisingly fresh.
-Great graphics & Music
The Bad:
-It sucks compared 2 the PC version (can't get pregnant, older, flexibility,etc)
-YOU CANNOT DO "STORY" MODE AND "FREE" MODE AT THE SAME TIME! For some idiotic reason, you cannot have 2 separate files 4 this game...which completely blows!
This game is absolutely worth a buy.
The average price 4 this game is $20.
I give it $17/$20.
