Medium graphics, bad, cluttered gameplay, terrible story, gets old fast.

So here, you are, at the game shelf, and your eye passes over Sims 2 for DS. You pick it up, look at the back, see the exciting features, like creating your own songs, running your own hotel, blasting giant robots! You buy it, take it home, play it for a week, and all of a sudden there's one IMPOSSIBLE objective, on the last boss. You just can't do it.
I ended up selling the game without ever being able to finish it. It was like "get lv. 5 mechanics!" and I couldn't do it. Normally it's good to be challenging, but that's just boring, plain, tedious game play that should not have been done like that. All the rest of the objectives are completely, annoyingly easy, this one gets ya.
The graphics are medium, meaning medium bad. So pixelly and stuff. : P
One of the only fun parts to this game is being a "cheesy" superhero called the Rattinator. ha cheesy, right? So anyway, so buy the part to make you the hero, but it only helps when there are thugs running around. And when is that? NEVER!!! the fricking thugs NEVER come. you almost never get to use the costume, which you have to keep running back and forth to.
The world of sims 2 for ds is old west, with 8 bit graphics it seems like.

Please, if you have any respect for the sims series as I do, don't buy this game. It's not worth it. Go for Sims 3 for PC.
