How Metascores Are Calculated
|
Step into the spotlight - your 15 minutes of fame are here! After you finish creating, customizing, and controlling your Sims' world, take on the lead role in the hit television series "One Time in Strangetown". As you unlock and play each episode of the TV series, explore a new story and characters to uncover the secrets of Stangetown. Between episodes participate in all new unique mini-games such as car and soda commercials. How well you do helps determine how good your ratings are. [Electronic Arts]

The playing experience is enjoyable, just different from what you might expect if your concept of Sims games is PC-based. [Jan 2006, p.112]

It should be noted that this is an entirely different game from what you’ll find on the console or PC, so those expecting this to be a mere portable version of the classic Sims gameplay may be disappointed. If you can get past that hurdle though, you should find that this version has plenty of content to keep you occupied for hours on end.

It is by no means outstanding, and perhaps is begging to really show the problems of cramming this entire story into a pseudo-Sims experience on a portable console.

This is not intentioned as damning with faint praise but the fact that the mini-games are the most fun part of the gameplay does say something.

Game Chronicles
The Sims 2 is a very linear game with marginal graphics and minimal sound, but all in all it should please fans of previous Sim GBA games or those looking for a parody of a reality-TV show storyline

Unfortunately for Sims fans, The Sims 2 on GBA is less like a simulation and more like a standard platformer.

I never thought I’d say this, but not even cleaning up poop can save The Sims 2 (GBA) from being a pile in its own right. Sure, it’s got an award-worthy presentation and cool mini-games, but when the central gameplay isn’t worth its weight, I simply can’t recommend it in good faith.

If you're looking for a cute adventure game for your GBA that has some decent writing and lasts a good while, I'd urge you to look into The Sims 2.

In the GBA version you have a set of skills that level up, each useful in different types of interaction. [Mar 2006, p.88]

The overall mediocrity will quickly relegate the Sims 2 to shelf warmer status.

Worth Playing
If you want to play The Sims on the road, get the spin-off "The Urbz," which does absolutely everything The Sims 2 does, only better.
