Remembering Back to top scores fannyboy post about sims 'deluxe' for Ps2, I realised that it will be outsole four-one by nintendo's own spinn off.

sims is a new genre. It works well on pc, the mouse giving you easy access to the menu's and popup screens for things. It will simply not work with PS2. it would be almost impossible to presisly click onto a rubbishg pile or moving person in a freemoving mode, using the control stick or buttons. they might be able to use the D-Pad to navagate by floor tile, but this would prove a tiresome selection choice. and the menues off screen, there are too many menu's to use the four buttons on the Controller, and in theory you could navigate using buttons to switch from screen to menu's, but it would prove complicated.

animal crossing, the Nintendo equivelent. full controll over what your charicter does. and in this game, you actually get to DO your job, instead of making sure you wake up for the carpool. you have to make friends in the communiny, and this is not just tedious stat building, you also actually have something Worth spending your money, or 'bells' on. the ability to actually buy and support a console, rather than just buy a better computer, seems slightly more of a tasty Idea to this game fannatic.

in short, The sims sucks because it is all about satisfying your character. In Animal crossing, the game tries to satisfy YOU.
