 It rocks and it is awesonme.. June 23, 2010

The Sims 2 pets is not like a apartment pets. It is better then it and instead of a salon your a vet. You can pick your own pet and play with it. The only thing that is timed is the cooking and you have a lot of stores to buy goodies from. It is easier to treat the pet and it is not timed. It is fun for all ages not just kids. I enjoy playing it and yes as with most games it takes time to learn but that is what games are for.

My daughter borrowed this game from a friend and she loved it so much that we decided to get one for her.
I am familiar with Sims and this seems to be an easier version and suitable for kids. Well, at least somewhat. My daughter and her friends found great fun in having the character skip bathroom breaks and have an accident, but I guess it could be worse.
I do not have time to play a lot of games these days, but I think I would find this game entertaining as well - for a while. It is all about taking care of the pets, eat, sleep and shower. The game, from what I have seen, does not allow much time to do anything else, which is fine if you are a 6-year old pet loving girl, but I am sure it will disappoint some of the Sims players out there.

When I first got this game for my DS I was really pleased with it. But then after a fiew minutes of playing it... it was really boring. The game is extremely repetitive: wake up, diagnose pets, treat them, go to bed. (occasionaly you have to eat food or take a shower.) Well this is my opinion and I am also a Sims fan so it might be because you can not play with the acctual Sim and interact like on the usual Sims2 games. I would not recomend this to normal Sims players, unless you are REALLY into pets THAT much.

Let's get down to the bottom of this. This game, is one of the WORST sims games that I have played. This is also the FIRST sims game that I have played as well. This is not at all related to the Sims 2 Pets for the PC, this is a hideous hybrid that has crept out of the dungeon depths of beta-testing. You start off with a squarish-ugly thing that's suppose to be a pet or a cat. You see whats wrong with it and fix it, get money from the customer, then attend to yourself. Your suppose to be a "vet".
First off, time passes WAY too fast in this game. By the time you've feed yourself you'll have to run to take care of the other pets or use the bathroom before its too late. Doing this over, and over is so boring its petty. While other sims games have an automatic feature in which, when their hungry they will fix themselves something, this one doesn't. Your sim is so dumb that if it needs to use the bathroom, it'll stand there until it releases upon itself. It'll also stand and starve itself and others.
Lack of living.
Seriously, your sims world exist on taking money from customers, running up quickly to customers in your shop and talking to them, occasionally going to the park to get other customers, then sitting on the computer ordering food and products for yourself. That is what your sim does. There is no romance, no dating, no nothing. Just seeing what's wrong as this whinny square-looking animal thing drags its lower half on the table or limps around unrealistically. Gee. You dress it with some crappy clothes, teach it some tricks in which its already unporportioned body stands up and dances around to a very, very cheesey song. Friends? What friends? You have none. Your sims life is based on ordering from a computer to buy food and products. That is your only friend. A cold-clunky machine. But if your really, really bored you can "mix" these animals to produce more "hybrids". That's right, change the coat into two-toned colors, half of the animal can be white and the other half completely black(and have an obvious change of color "line" down the middle of the animal). Make its head bigger than its body or smaller than its neck. Make it skinny, make it fat. Make it stringy-looking. This is a creation that not even Frankenstein would approve of. It just sucks that badly graphically. These animals do little to nothing except whine about their injuries. All you'll ever do is try to hear its heartbeat, if its not sliding around on the floor, or examine its bones with the x-ray, if it's not wiggling around either. Then bath it because its dirty or has fleas. Or feed it medication because it has a cold. I'd rather play Nintendogs or Trauma Center than this poor excuse of a game.
There's no places to go other than the park located outside of your house. That's it, build a swing set or two or even put in more trees and fountains but that's all your going to really do here. But you won't really be able to do that too much. Cus you'll be running back inside of the house to use the bathroom or eat while in the middle of a conversation or risk starving/releasing on yourself in public. Don't forget to feed em critters too or the owners will be hopping mad and spread rumors so no one can visit you.
The cooking mini-game, why does it even exist? At first it seems fun but after awhile it gets very, very annoying. More ingredients means trickery cooking times. Your literally cooking from when the lights flash on the oven. So if your even a second off, your food will taste bad!!! That means no health bonuses.
[...]. This game had the potential of being something good but it gutted the basic sim game elements that makes a sims game, a sims game and refused to elaborate on that. It seems rushed and it plays rushed.
 Guess I'm in the minority... December 28, 2008

I really like this Sims game. But then, I love caring for animals and making them better when they aren't well, also. True, it can be viewed as repetive by some, I admit that. Also true is that some view repetition as boring. But I get a kick out of the different animals and breeds, and moving up the success ladder as a vet. I make contests with myself over how large a bonus I can rack up and how quickly I can upgrade to a new home, new equipment. For me, this game is great. My daughter also enjoys playing it.
But then, I can't stand regular Sims games with all the whining and childish behavior of the "people". So maybe that's the difference.
The only reason I don't give it a 5 star is because I wish you could add to the yard area of your home. I can't see any point in having a picnic table or garden flower beds inside the house.
