Pictured: A millennial searching desperately for affordable housing The cow-worshipping cult, led by Ava Cadavra, makes further appearances in The Sims 2 on PSP, where players are tasked with destroying the cult from the inside, and several other characters appear across the game franchise. This humour is what characterises all of the handheld Sims games, and a dedication to being the most ridiculous, overblown and dramatic games of all time. The Sims 2 on Nintendo DS is wild and ridiculous, and more importantly, it’s self-aware. Don’t ask questions, he just wants to be left alone. Why not? Also – Bigfoot lives in the hotel basement. Over the course of the game, you’re required to meet the requests of these varied guests, all while avoiding their threats, keeping the hotel running, dusting the thugs that patrol the streets of Strangetown, painting masterpieces, resurrecting a dead mummy- oh, and leading a double life as a superhero known as The Raticator. But when your guests are the leader of a cow-worshipping cult, an alien emperor, a malfunctioning killer robot and a mafia boss quite taken with leg breaking, you might start thinking you’ve made some terrible life choices. Now, you’d think becoming a hotel entrepreneur would be a smart choice. After he’s told you his whole life story, he agrees to help out, and from there you start your life as a hotel entrepreneur. You find him near a lone cactus, and he looks up at you and the first thing out of his mouth is, “You ever caught a meteor with your bare hands? It takes time to get used to the heat and the pain, but it’s a good cure for loneliness.” To reiterate, this is a man that you’ve just met, and all you wanted was his help to build your hotel. When local handyman and general ‘nice guy’ Tristan Legend vanishes from the town, you’re sent into the desert oasis to search for him.
The desert surrounding the town holds ancient secrets, the hotel is run on nuclear fuel rods, and the local cashier at the convenience store appears to be a young alien teenager, who begs you to deliver him space ship parts in the hopes that they’ll take him home. You’re handed the keys to a hotel by a mysterious stranger (no, not that one), and are soon embroiled in town life.īut like any desolate American town, nothing is ever as it seems, (or so I’m told) and you soon begin to notice strange happenings around the town. In the opening scenes of The Sims 2 on Nintendo DS, the best of the series, your car veers wildly off the road and strands you in Strangetown, where there seems to be no way out.
THE SIMS GAME SERIES PC
The Sims 2 titles all take place in Strangetown – a location that features in the PC version of the game, and share common characters between them.
THE SIMS GAME SERIES SERIES
The Sims 2 on Game Boy Advance, PSP and Nintendo DS are all part of the series (and strangely enough, are all unique games that were developed independently), as well as The Urbz: Sims in the City for Nintendo DS and The Sims: Bustin’ Out for Game Boy Advance. The handheld Sims games are wild and varied, and the series comprises quite a few different titles. This is the rocket your parents sent you to Earth in. In fact, I’ve played The Sims 2 DS and its companion titles at least five or six times each, with no signs of slowing down soon. Now, I’d like to clarify that when I say it’s my favourite game, it doesn’t mean it’s the most technically sound or graphically capable- it’s the game that I love most, and the one I return to most often.
So serious that my PSN ID, which I have for life, is named after a relatively obscure character from the handheld game series. Laughter, a pat on the back, and then, “Wait, you’re serious?” Yes, yes I am. Every time I tell people my favourite video game of all time is The Sims 2 on Nintendo DS, I get a very similar reaction.
