Never make a Sims based game that is nothing like the Sims.

Disapointing. This game is horible. It makes me so sad I could cry, I love the Sims. This was the first DS game i bought beculse I thoght it was a Sims game. Big mastake. Basicaly your a good-for-nothing teen who bums off everyone. For crying out loud you live at your work! Well your new boss fires you so your forced to leave and find a home of your own. Theres only 2 houses to pick from though. The house decorating is pretty much the same as the Sims. Beds, counters, showers, pictuers, everythings here. When you buy the food you just pull it out of the frige just like good o'll Sims. Anyway back to the story. You have to find a part time job. Your "jobs" are just mini games. camedians and morterbike races thats a life eh? yea it would be but you hardly get any money from the jobs at all. They try to put some messed up story about cloning err something. i wasent paying atintion. i played it for about 6 hours at the most before i desided this is the worst DS game to date. Not anymore though now we got Elf Bowling hahaha. the graphics are all you would want from a Sims looking game. They could have made them better though, Look at mario and Luigi partnerts in time, those are good graphics for DS. All in all there 64 graphics at best. The sound is very anoying, the same music over and over. even the first time you hear it, it makes your ears bleed. The game play has to be the worst. They soiled the good Sims name SOILED IT! Now its kinnda like a cheep Animal Crossing but 10x worse. But my mom did find it very adictive so I guess its all in tast. Even if you like this game, if you sit down and think about it youll say its horible. So if your a Sims fan go buy Sims 2 that just came out for DS. I dont think its very good eather though. This game has alot of potentule. They could do so much more with a Sims like game for the DS. With the stylis you could draw out blueprints for a house maybe? Or draw the walls? they just give you the bear minumum of whats here. EA games always has and it came back to punch them in the face.
