I knew The Sims 2 so far only from the PC and then it was super. The difference with The Sims 2 for PSP is that it even has a more "RPG character", I did not know until then. There are "missions" to carry out, for you will then pay what you can buy food or items for the next mission. The basic principle that one (etc. Eat, sleep, toilet, entertainment, hygiene) must provide his Sim's basic needs, has remained. The only thing sometimes but then a bit annoying, are the long load times when the places are changed or when you enter a house - but which are not unknown to me of the PC games ago. All in all highly recommended and a game that it is worth buying at this price.
