GamerBlipsBut additions like that will only impressive the people who haven’t played since the first game. As great a fit as lovingly raising, feeding and training cats and dogs can be, it’s hard to recommend Sims 2 Pets for Wii as something new and worth purchasing. Hardly a true update, it’s the exact same game that’s been available on every other platform for months. Plus, it strips some of the customization from the PC iteration (no multi-story houses or roofing capabilities) and there’s no significant graphical or gameplay upgrades when compared to last year’s GameCube version (which, combined with the price of a controller, is still cheaper than this version and playable on your Wii).
At its core, it’s still the brilliant feat of social interaction and sparklingly mundane domesticity that gamers and nongamers alike have gobbled up by the gross for years now. If you haven’t spoken Similish in a few years, or are head over heels enamored with motion controls, this Sims 2 Pets could be a right neighborly slice of homemade pie. But for anyone else with a Wii and $50 bucks, we suggest you hold out for the upcoming MySims.
