The Sims 2: Pets

"The Sims 2: Pets adds some moderately interesting animal companions but offers a surprisingly strong Sims 2 experience."

"The Sims 2: Pets is a must for every Sim fan, and for anyone who thought they could be a Sim fan, that hasn’t already taken the plunge. It’s cool, entertaining, and strangely addictive."

"The Sims 2 Pets improves upon its console predecessors in every way imaginable. The formula is definitely getting old, though, so long time fans will have limited interest. As far as newcomers go, there's plenty to see and do. The addition of pets, not to mention enhancements to the interface and overall performance, makes the Sims 2 Pets a worthwhile investment in terms of time and money."

"The Sims 2 Pets isn't anything more than The Sims 2 on consoles with pets. It feels like an expansion pack, and if that's what you want, you won't be disappointed. Overall gameplay improvements make Pets a better game than Sims 2 on consoles was last year, and animal lovers will no doubt spend hours creating their ultimate cat or dog, complete with embarrassing clothes and lovable personality."
