By A. M. Bohling
I wasn't sure about this game when I first heard of it because I had played Sims on Xbox and found it very difficult to control. This game is quite different, instead of porting the computer version as is to the DS, they created a whole different game that is a lot of fun.In the game you become stranded in Strangetown and end up taking over a hotel. You have to complete different missions in order to move on in the game. You also have to keep the place clean, keep your friends and guests happy and keep the generator packed with power rods.What sets this game apart is the game controls. Instead of clicking to move your character around and control them, you actual have control of the character and can move him or her around. You can interact with everyone and you have to learn to react in one of three ways to whatever the person does. This was a little difficult to figure out at first but it adds an interesting part to the game. Plus there are mini games, such as in the Casino there is a fun card game and you can play the slots.So far this game has been a lot of fun and the gameplay options seem to overcome the endless rut you can get into in the PC version.

By P. Graves
Okay, first of all I'd like to say that I agree with the other reviewers about how different this game is, that is where I stop agreeing with them.Skill points: They are not random, they come up daily for 8 hours.Character interaction: They have several moods, and when you talk with them, you have 3 choices to click on for each mood. You don't have to time it, the buttons blink at you to let you know when it is time to respond to the characters.Yes, the game is in one town, but any more than that and it would be to much. You could say it was in two since you do get to wander around in a desert and dig up alien artifacts and silver/copper bars.There are a lot of things that happen in this game that keep you busy. There are aliens invading, robots, the mob, and a small time crook that you as the hotel manager get to deal with. You also have to be an odd superhero to defeat these villians.The game did end rather fast. I expected a few more days of gameplay, but I finished it in less than a week.This is a great game, but please remember that it is very different from pc and other system versions.

By J. Peplinski
Okay, I'm a HUGE fan of the PC version of Sims 2, so maybe I was expecting too much. I realize you can't pack the same amount of game depth into a much smaller memory space, so of course the game will be different. I recognize that, I just wish it were a little bit more fun.At first I really liked the mission aspect, which is a big departure from the PC version. I liked having to earn enough money to improve the hotel, though I did most of that in the casino playing the super fun/addictive pirate card game. I like having to keep the place clean and the guests happy; that's all part of the challenge and the fun. And of course, you can find treasures in your vaccuum sometimes too!Two big departures from the PC game that I really don't like:1) The personal interactions are very limited and in many cases, annoying. Maybe I just can't figure out the patterns, but it still seems very random and I hate that you lose all "sanity" points after a few interactions and have to quit for a while. Maybe I'm just too impatient to see the patterns, but this is frustrating too me.2) The "sanity" meter and how unspecific it is about what you need. When your sanity is low, you can raise it by using the toilet, taking a shower, having a snack, or taking a nap. This is true whether you need any of those things or not. For example, if your sanity meter is low, you can raise it up to the maximum by using the toilet. But, you might get just a few feet into the hotel before your character starts acting tired and wanting to take a nap. So you have to go back and take a nap, even though your sanity meter is full. There was no way to tell in the first place that she needed a nap and not a potty break. And what is up with recharging your "sanity" after a fight with a hotel guest by using the toilet? This really doesn't ruin the game, it's just sort of stupid.There are some other things that aren't great, like the fact that gameplay really isn't that open-ended and you can't customize your character as much. No biggies, but repeat gameplay is limited.On the other hand, one of the things that is REALLY cute about this version is the art gallery. The DS touchpad makes it possible to draw your own pictures and sell them in the gallery, which is not only a good moneymaker but really sort of fun. That's a very unique touch for this platform and I think it's quite cool. The pirate card game is also fun, and even most of the missions are a good way to waste time.Overall, I'm not bashing the game completely but I am disappointed. It's worth a shot if you enjoy the Sims 2 franchise, but keep an open mind and be willing to be done with it forever it a week or two.I hope they resolve some of these issues with the release of Sims 2 Pets for DS in the fall! I can't wait for that!
