sims 2 for psp is easily one of the most interesting sims games for me. it has you running around, exploring and uncovering the secrets of never-before seen parts of strangetown after your car breaks down outside a local store.
the gameplay consists of minigames to increase relationship stats and jobs, while also maintaining your skills and needs. there's also hidden secrets to find in each location and with each character. its not a difficult game at all, and not a long one, either. even with 100%ing the game, its not a ton of hours youll have to sink in
i think the writing reallyyyy shines in this game. i have some gripes with the story and how it fits into the pc release of sims 2, but it's not that big of a deal to most people. the writing and humour still holds up very well, though,, its a rlly funny game and the story goes to some absolutely insane places. its exactly the kind of thing i'd expect from a sims game set in strangetown. the environments and music are great too - it has this vaguely eerie atmosphere, at least to me.
the only MAJOR issue i have is that this game runs HORRIBLY on an actual psp. i got halfway through the game on actual hardware until i couldn't stand how poorly it loads - basically, the game loads in each action individually, and in my experience you can spend a whileee just waiting for stuff to load. my 1st time completing the game and my 100% playthrough were done on an emulator.
anyways, this game is one of my favourites of all the console games. it's just a really fun time and id totally recommend it!!! :D
