I'm a Sims fanatic so I HAD to have Sims 2 for XBox so I could play. I'm kind of disappointed with it, being very familiar with the PC version. I think from my perspective, I prefer the PC version because of the differences, versus liking the gaming system version because of the "new features". I do like the cooking feature on the console versions, the ability to "create recipes" is a really cool feature and I like the direct control, still a little too slow moving for my taste and I don't like the fact that time won't go at "warp speed" while your character is gone if you have a roommate. It automatically puts you in control of the roommate when your character goes to work. Overall it's still good plain Sims fun, but as for me, I'll stick with my PC 90 percent of the time!
Yes, this is Xbox 360 compatible. Although it lacks some "Sims" essentials like babies and aging, it makes up for it through its unique features on console such as a story mode, great multiplayer, amazing soundtrack, and the "food creation" system. You can even grow and harvest your own vegetables, fruits, and fish to make empowering dishes from enhanced skills to romantic feelings. The story mode has a varitety of locations, quirky sims, and unique goals to progress through. The freeplay mode is a nice sandbox to play through but may get repetitive and boring, since there is only "one" main goal (make moolah and spend it to 'green' up your Sims' moods). It may be glitchy from time to time, but it is a fun multiplayer experience. I really missed that "The Sims 3" is the only Sims game for console that did not allow multiplayer.Read full review
I just found out about The Sims D.I.Y. movie making culture from YouTube (check out Bathroom Etiquette). I was instantly enthralled by the creativity and bought a copy from a fellow eBayer for a great price. Boy, was I in for a surprise. I don't consider showering, washing the dishes, looking for a job or taking a crap to be very fun. I certainly don't want to play a simulation of those tasks either. There are some good moments, but I would rather go outside the house and find a real flesh girlfriend. I ended up killing my first Sim due to hunger. There is a story mode and a free-play mode to do as you please. You can design your home, find a dream job and even get married. There are plenty of thing to do, (yawn) I just don't have the patience. I never did make my own movie. I was just too darn bored.Read full review
I originally had The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 "Pets" for my PC. However, after making the much appreciated switch to Macintosh from Apple, my games were no longer compatible. I'm not complaining the least bit because I'll never go back to PC. I decided to sell my two discs of Sims for the PC on EBay. I then purchased this game for Xbox 360, since it was an original Xbox game and just became backwards compatible. After a quick update through XBox Live, I was online and good to go. The game works just as expected, I get to enjoy a different user interface on my XBox 360 where I can actually control the Sim him/herself and walk around with the Sim. The graphics are actually quite descent to my surprise. The game was developed and released in 2005, so It's not too far out. I enjoy the game and will continue to play it until a newer Sims game is EVER released for the 360 with Achievements. Great Buy! Love it!Read full review
It was my first time viewing Ebay and purchasing anything. It was easy to use. I didn't want to bid. I just purchased straight out because I could not find The Sims 2 at any retail or 2nd hand store in my area. My purchase arrived quickly. It took about 4 business days. It is a fun game to play. You can play 2 player also. It is fun to play your character through their daily lives, changing their clothes, house, furniture, job and even picking out the ingrediences for their recipes.
I loved the game, many thanks!

I think the game play is excellent, much better the the first Sims. The fact that you can go back and forth from multi player to single player while still using the same file is really cool. The only issue I have is the fact that you cannot have more than one file saved at a time.....doesn't make much sense to me.
Was packing as if it was brand new and was WELL taken care off. 5 stars
