80There are things like loading times that can annoy from time to time, and the graphical blurs can be a pain, but the amount of gameplay and content here is fantastic, and to be able to customise your house's interior on the move in full 3D really does appeal.

Rather than port the PS2 game, The Sims 2 on PSP is a tailor-made experience that hooks you early on and doesn't let go. A superb game. [Jan 2006, p.112]
-
With a great system of matching symbols in order to chat and flirt and a world in which a different life can be dictated for your Sim each time you start a new game, The Sims 2 is great fun and game that'll last you ages.
-
76A charming PSP game that doesn't lack most of the familiar gameplay elements while adding some fresh ones but then again its most troublesome glitches are just too bothersome to ignore.
-
75The addition of perks and secrets, not to mention mini-games and the sanity meter, help keeps things fresh. The coolest change blends a focused, genuinely funny story with the open-ended gameplay that fans have come to love.
-
75As enjoyable as it is bizarre, carried off mostly thanks to the patented Sims humor and skewed worldview. [Feb 2006, p.85]

If you've played The Sims before, there's nothing here that will grab you by the short hairs and make you take notice.
-
72Not really The Sims, more like an RPG with chores. Entertaining nevertheless. [GamesMaster]
-
I can't get over the load times and freeze-ups. Even as good as the graphics are I would take a blue screen background if the damn game would just play for fifteen minutes without a hiccup.
-
In terms of gameplay, the game surpasses its console counterpart, but the technical snags drag it back down.
-
61The worst and most obvious problem with the game is the constant loading. Performing just about any action--going indoors or outdoors, playing a minigame, beginning a conversation with someone, ending a conversation with someone--causes the game to load for a good second or two.
-
60The Sims has become a huge franchise seemingly overnight, but this simplified PSP port is let down by clunky controls and bare features.
-
60The Sims 2 feels a little scaled back on the PSP and even though there are a few extras added in the experience isn't as free roaming as before. The loading really makes the game hard to recommend as a portable title.
-
60It's fair to say that Sims 2 for the PSP would've been among the best of the console ports, but a couple of glaring issues drag it down. In particular, the load times are a nightmare.
-
I've been a big fan of the series' portable outings in the past, but htis is just a big dud. [Feb 2006, p.113]
-
50One thing's for sure about The Sims 2 on PSP: when load times comprises 30 to 40 percent of the gameplay experience, it's excruciatingly boring.
-
The PSP version is similarly structured as a set of constrictive quests through three areas that are tied together by a contrived collecting game in which you gather coins, here called "secrets". [Mar 2006, p.88]
