  1. For an expansion pack, there is plenty to do and see and it adds a completely new level of variety to your Sims' already busy life.

    Rarely does an expansion (or companion, in the case of the PS2 and GameCube) see content integrated so well into an existing game. After a few minutes playing Pets, you'll feel as if the animals have always been a part of your gaming life.
  3. This isn't the best buy for those who have played the series to death. But if you haven't, then get on board with this animal update.
  4. The expansion only changes the game on a strictly superficial level, although it does this extremely well.

    This game is very fun to play sometimes, some features from some of the previews games of sims have been taken away.

    This game rocks! Although I wish the dogs did not dig holes and that you can still get a job when your mad.
