The Sims 2: Apartment Pets (DS) (Nintendo DS Games)

Welcome to Big Brother's pet parlour!

Very easy to pick up and play, but once you know your way around it there's nothing left to discover. Tedious.

If you liked managing bathroom breaks for a Sim, you'll love picking up puppy poop in

Before you can start caring for a pet, you'll need to create a Sim. The game begins with character creation involving full customization from the basics like sex and name to more detailed attributes such as hair colour and gait. Once you're finished...

The Sims 2 Castaway is the sort of game that you feel total indifference towards. It isn't hugely offensive, nor is it hugely wonderful, it just bundles along at a steady pace doing nothing to either irritate or annoy. And this, in itself, is dull. The...

Should really be a four, but there isn’t a category for ‘fun’ in there. Were there to be, this game would have scored a big fat zero in it. So, a 3/10 is perfectly fair. At the end of the day, this game doesn’t do anything wrong, it just fails to do...

Sun, sea and bug squatting

All other scenarios are unlikely to be as pleasant

I tried to like The Sims 2 Apartment Pets for Nintendo DS and played it for awhile hoping it would get better, but it didn't. The game has you ...

The Sims 2 Apartment Pets is a sub-par game that has boring mini games that you have to do over and over again. I don’t think it will really appeal to fans of Nintendogs or The Sims, since it is lacking in both areas. Apartment Pets feels more like a...

Forget making friends, cooking meals and gardening. In Apartment Pets, you are a slave to the good care of your furry friends. You still make sure that your Sim eats, sleeps and uses the bathroom, but that's it. There is no Free Play, so it's the Story...

Pets

Shallow customization options, no social capabilities, no pets of your own

When The Sims 2: Apartment Pets came in the mail, we were excited to get our paws on it. Previous experiences with spin-off Sims 2 games left us scowling, and we wanted more than anything to wipe the slate clean. Unfortunately, Apartment Pets isn't the...

While not the best expansion to date, a worthy addition to the others.

Well executed new pets to add to your sim family; graphics, personality and general presentation of these new furry little friends is all good

Very little content added that directly modifies how you play. No minigames like those found in previous expansions

Sims fun makes its way to the Nintendo DS.

Lots of missions ; The nightclub and museum make fun use of the touch screen

Doesn't feel quite like a true Sims game ; Some of the missions can become a bit tedious

TVG takes a look at the sequel to the ‘Life' simulator that took the world by storm…

Sims 2 will be loved and hated in equal measures and it’s very difficult to think of another game that splits gamers so much. There's a distinct lack of events in the game, yet it offers so much. It completely bi-polarises players, and if your ideal...

A lenient landlord lets you populate your new apartment with assorted animals in The Sims 2: Apartment Pets, the fourth game in the popular lifestyle series on DS. Care for snakes, birds, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats while taking up resi
