Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great game, If you haven't played the PC version
The Sims 2 for Gamecube, is actually a very good game! Despite what other reviewers might say, this game is actually worth the buy! I'll get right into it...
The BIG problem is that this game sucks compared to the PC versions. If this is one of the first Sims you have played for any console...It is a great start! This might be one of the best "Sims" game for all consoles excluding PC.

The Good:
-You can actually control your own Sim (like move him around yourself)
-You have "Wants" and "Fears" that make you Sim unique!
-Game is fairly long, and surprisingly fresh.
-Great graphics and Music

The Bad:
-It sucks compared to the PC version (can't get pregnant, older, flexibility,etc)
-YOU CANNOT DO "STORY" MODE AND "FREE" MODE AT THE SAME TIME! For some idiotic reason, you cannot have to separate files for this game...which completely blows!

This game is absolutely worth a buy.
The average price for this game is $20.
I give it $17/$20.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Game is the BOmb
I bought this game for my sis for Christmas she always wanted the sims 2 but my pc was not the best because of the specifications you needed. I decided to buy her the Sims 2 for game cube and she enjoys it very much. She was addicted to Sims and talked about getting sims 2 for at least 2 years. The only thing she does not like about this one is that you can't make children but she likes to Woohoo!! anyway. She like to play it in story mode since there is more adventure that way and thats were you get to unlock streets and clothes etc. The game is great and if your pc is too slow for the Sims 2 i recommend this one.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Why all the negative reviews? I LOVE this game!
I'm unsure why this game received so many negative reviews. I had this for my PS2 and loved it so much that I bought the Gamecube version to use on my Wii. If you know anything about Sims games for video game systems, you'd know that the majority of them are not completely like the original PC version. If you buy this game, you must know that no, this isn't exactly like the original BUT it's still fun nonetheless.

So what's to like about this game? First, I prefer to play with another person because it can get hard having to control multiple people. Each character has their own goals (some are hard and some are easy). You must achieve these goals while maintaining a job (preferably) and keeping your stats up high. It can get difficult but that's what I love about it. While one character is trying to keep his hunger level up, I can switch to another character and achieve her goal of painting a quality picture. There's a ton to do to keep you busy. Eventually, you get your gold goals that, once completed, unlock another location. The different places you can live in are so cool (from an ordinary house, to a hotel, to an artist's museum). You can even live on a boat once you complete a few rounds of the game!

Second, when you go to each new location, you get to hear a story about what's going on with the people who live there and what their ultimate goals involve. Each location has different goals and a cast of wacky chracters which makes for a non-repetitive game.

Third, it doesn't get old. Yes, once you beat the entire game, you may not want to replay the whole thing over again. However, after you achieve your gold goals, you can still play at certain locations and the goals keep on coming.

What's not to like? Those who want this to be exactly like the original game will be disappointed. No, you can't have children. No, you don't have complete control in Free Play mode. However, the achieving goals part of the game is fun and addictive.

Be sure to TRY this game before completely writing it off as a bad one. You may enjoy it! It's one of my favorite console games.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - WARNING! YOU CANNOT HAVE CHILDREN IN THIS VERSION OF THE SIMS 2! YOUR SIMS WILL NEVER GROW OLD!
No one else directly adressed this problem so I will. In Create A Family, I only had the option to make adult sims, no old people, no kids, babies, nothing. Plus when I created a family this way, I could not make them siblings, wife, exc... They're all "Roommates". The "Try For Baby" option does not appear. When my male sims were abducted by aliens, they did not return pregnant. I've tried it a dozen times on 1 male sim and he NEVER became pregnant. Plus, my sims never age in this game. I have taken them through several weeks and they have never grown old. The Gamecube version seems like it was watered down so 6 year olds could play it. Maybe that's why I couldn't do any of the above. *laughs*

Consider the above when you buy the GC version of Sims 2.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It's not that great
I purchased this game with some of my spare money and it wasn't worth the money at all.It's fun at first but it gets boring extremely quickly.The gamecube version is not as great as the PC version,which isn't fair.If you play in story mode,it is very hard to win and I eventually just give up.I don't recommend this game unless you enjoy these kind of things.It's not worth the money in my opinion.
