all games

This was my first sims game. It's really worth the money. You start off living in your uncle Hayseed's barn. After you complete some of the goals he makes you move of out of your barn and into the clock tower. I have spent hours playing this game. The time sort of goes by slow, but sleeping makes the time go three times faster. This game also can get annoying.

1. Your sim might start to complain because it is hungry, has to pee, wants entertainment, or is tired. When this happens, you can't talk to anyone.

2. If you get a dog, it pees all over your house and you can't punish it. You also have to clean it up.

3. It's hard to please people. One of your goals might be to befriend the detective but the choices they give you to say will only make him madder.

4. You have to pay your bills and sometimes others, like 1000 for club rub.

Other than that this game is worth it.

ok i'm gonna give my review in catagories..but overall the is game is GREAT. Not the best game for young children since it involves alot of reading and coversation but a super game. You can ask any of you freinds in simvalley to come live with you, live alone,or have a pet dog, cat, or even some exotic pets!! There always seems to be something to do in this game!

Gameplay - gameplay on this game is very very good...its the same heart as the classic sims on computer with maintaining your persons happiness (bladder, sleep, hygeine, food, ect.) but made a little easier so you can get your jobs around town done. You cannot build your own house in this one but with everything else to do its not a big deal at all. This sim's has a storyline and tasks to complete so you can moove into bigger houses,get new jobs, ect. ....if you have ever played animal crossing on the gamecube you will find this sorda similar...same type of play you can work for people around town and go along with the story or if you want just work and make some money..buy some new furnature ect. another cool thing on the game is the abilty participate in auctions at the stores. At certain times the stores hold actions and you can bid against your fellow simvalley neighbors. overall gamepley's great GAMEPLAY- 10/10

Storyline - A decent story line. You come to live in your uncle's town. Stay in his barn at the begining and later moove out on your own making money doing jobs. You complete you tasks and progress in the game in what you can and cant do. At first you stay in a limited tiny part of the town...whitch had me woried at first because I though that it was the whole town, But you later unlock the rest of the town whitch is pretty big. It will take a while to not need the map. Overall the sorys good. At first it'll seem kinda dumb and extremely easy but it opens and toughens up as you progress. STORY - 9/10

Graphics- Graphics on this game are also really good. Better then many other GBA games. Everything is easy to see and tell what it is. I dont think graphics get much better on the GBA.
Grapics - 9.5/10

Sounds- Just about the same sounds as the oringal sims on computer. The people mumble as you read what there saying. Sound effects are really good. Overall sounds good...not amazing but good. SOUND - 9/10

Replayability/Playtime - Well obviously its not as fun to play a story line the second time, but you can always work on making money to buy the fanciest stuff to fill your home with. I have not finished this game yet so really wouldnt know what happends in the end. But as with other sim games there seems to always be something to do ( you can work out at the gym and earn body points,read cooking books,mechanical books,logic books, ect to improove your skills, or just hang out cruise around town working and buying). For a game with a storyline this one has great playtime considering how much there is to do in it. PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY- 10/10

OVERAL THIS GAME IS GREAT.... there always something to do or improve on. 10/10!!!!

if your going on a roadtrip anytime soon BUY THIS GAME BEFORE YOU GO!...this game wil kepp you entertained for ever in the car, on a plane, on a train WHERE EVER!!! JUST GO OUt ANd BUY IT

Ok, I loved this game for all the reasons everyone else stated. BUT -I'm not letting my seven year old son play this because of some suggestive dialog between Sims. It's sort of hard to explain the phrase, "Let's lock tongues!" to him, and I don't want to! Besides that phrase there are a few others that are a little naughty and funny, but certainly not lewd. I might be comfortable with him playing this as a teenager, but I'm not there yet. So check it out for yourself first. You won't want to give it back to them anyway, it's too fun!
