In Sims 2: Pets, you'll create the perfect pet for your Sims to train, play with, and love throughout a lifetime. Choose from dozens of popular dog and cat breeds like Schnauzer and Siamese, or create a unique cat or dog by modifying their features and body type. Teach the pets tricks, take them for a romp in the park to meet other furry friends, or buy them toys, beds, and much more. But pets have minds of their own-so expect the unexpected!

 Just like the other Sims games. June 20, 2008
You play this game just like the other Sims games. You control the people that you choose to create in your family. You create your pets, but you can't control them. I bought the game thinking that I would be able to play the game as a dog or a cat, but then I discovered that I could only play as people.
The game is just as entertaining as the other Sims games. The main difference is that you not only have goals for your people, but for pets too (lean tricks, potty training, etc.).
I had problems too April 29, 2008
I really enjoyed this game, and got pretty far into it UNTIL IT STOPPED SAVING. It is not the memory card's fault, as every other game we have saves just fine on the memory card. I was so disappointed--what's the point of playing if you can't save?
 Groundhog Day anyone? January 2, 2008
This game quickly lost its appeal with my kids after the second week. The number one reason?? IT'S BORING! The PC game is much more entertaining and the cheats at least make it interesting.
With this game, you get to create your pets and people and then you get to move them in and either build from scratch or have them move into a pre-made home and buy them the stuff they need to survive.
Then the repetition begins. In order to survive you need the basic necessities. A bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and entertainment. In order to get those things you'll need a job so it's, go to work--come home--cook, bathroom, entertain, bed. Got to work--come home--cook, bathroom, entertain, bed. Go to work--come home--cook, bathroom, entertain, bed. Go to work-- See the pattern?!? Now if you or your kids are into building and getting cool stuff for your place this isn't the game for you, unless you enjoy the occasional moment where your character or pet passes out and has to be revived because you aren't following my above monotony to get money to feed everyone---because that is all you'll be able to afford even working everyday.
The Sims in this game lose their hunger/fun/social/etc. points way to fast and you are always playing catch up to keep them happy so they go to work.
The graphics are nice and you can train your pet. The movement of the sims is also nice and you can really get up close and personal with them but sometimes that intimicy is a bit awkward and walls/furniture/pets get in the way. Multiple exits are a must because a sleeping or passed out pet in a doorway means no escape for the sim in the room.
Social opportunities abound when you go to the community lot but you don't spend simoleons--you'll need pet points, which you earn when you teach your pet new tricks (which is close to be impossible because of the monotony you'll need to do to keep your sim happy and fed). There is also the occasional rainstorm and if you don't buy a roof you get rained on while sleeping, lol.
Overall my kids enjoyed finding all the new things in this game you don't find on the PC version. They also had fun with all the passing out and reviving. Oh, and a sim who needs the restroom has a hilarious run that they really enjoyed. Other than that there was nothing else entertaining about it and it's function now is to collect dust.
Flawed CD December 31, 2007
The CD was new and most of the game play worked, but I wasn't able to add any wall coverings or the game would freeze, I hope others don't have the same issue.
IT FREEZES UP October 11, 2007
HAD IT ONLY A FEW WEEKS, AND IT FREEZES UP ALREADY. NO, IT IS NOT THE GAMECUBE BECAUSE THEY PLAY OTHER GAMES ON IT AS WELL. I DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL, AND MY 7 YR OLD IS BEGINNING TO BECOME DISPLEASED WITH IT AS WELL BECAUSE OF IT FREEZING UP. THUMBS DOWN ON SIMS 2 PETS.:(
