I had my hopes up for this game. I had gotten it fo pc and it didnt work. Then i got it for ps2 and it kept getting delayed. Finaly when i got it it was pretty bad. The get a life mode stinks. Mom tells me to get a job. I try and get a job but my sims to depressed. Then I'm happy and I'm on my way out to get a job. Mom says I'm not ready yet. It went on like that for an hour until i got off and played a better game.Now for the neighborhood you can either have alot of cool stuff or a good sized house. Not both though because you can only spend 20,000 simoleons. And u never have time to throw a party. The neighborhood mode would be pretty good if you had weekends, but it's just work work work. And your sims dont listen to u most of the time. They are always to depressed, even when there fun meters half way full.Not the worst game I have played, but definitely a disappointment.
