Sims PSP

Gamespot gave Sims 2 for PSP a pretty bad review, as did many users, mostly because of slow load times and their new storyline. I've played the PC version, with a few of the expansion packs, Sims Pets and Sims vacation, and I also played a PS2 version of Sims. I loved the PC version, with the expansion packs, best.

I got attached to my families, raised their children and pets with them, buried their loved ones, dealt with the ghosts that came back and designed their homes. We got promoted and demoted together, threw parties with guests passing out from all the BBQ, and in one case, started a garden so big we became more like a farming commune than a suburban household.

The PSP version doesn't quite live up to the PC version. It's true. But it doesn't suck, and there are pleasant surprises. Bisexuality is a requirement for success, which is defined by how many secrets you find out about your neighbors. To find out their deepest darkest secrets, you can flirt with them, chat them up and intimidate them. The best way is a combination of the three. It's truly easy to sit back and watch while your Sims have sex-same kisses, hugs and throw themselves to the floor in a moment of uncontained lust, so you can later sell their deepest darkest secrets for money.
