Customer Review: Early thoughts
I have just recieved this today and it is an impressive package. The tracks have good sound, given the origin of some of them. The sleeve notes are excellent, especially the good news of further Iveys tracks to follow. However there is one problem, there only appears to be 18 tracks on this disk, not the 21 stated. The missing tracks are by Misunderstood. If there had been a problem with these tracks, perhaps this could have been dealt with before the disk was released. Consequently a star is lost.
Customer Review: Psych Sounds From Apple
Beatles collectors, jump on this one if you have not already. This CD fills in some Apple-related gaps nicely. Apple Publishing was kept busy in the late 60’s with several tracks by Grapefruit, Focal Point, Ways and Means, Misunderstood, Paintbox and John Fitch and Associates. Some of these saw the light of day and others not but there is not a bad track here. I think this is the perfect example of the fact The Beatles were juggling way too much at the time to really give much time to the publishing arm of Apple but these tracks will show the listener that the groups involved deserved much more. Some of the shining moments of the CD include five demo recordings by The Iveys later to become Badfinger. Much has already been said about them so I will only add that these tracks add to the list of truly great and under appreciated songs from this incredible band. The packaging is done very well with several band pictures and a previously unpublished photo of John, Paul and Ringo with Grapefruit. Additionally anyone who is into 60’s British Psychedellia would live this collection as well. I would not hesitate to buy this one.
The Sims 2 (PS2) Customer Review: The Sims For PS2 Is Missing Somthing
Well the Sims 2 for PS2 was never going to be a brilliant game when it was missing some vital things the PC game had for example you cant age,die (unless of course you get an electric shock from the DJ Booth)have a two storie house, have kids and there arnt enough Sims to make friends with. It takes cheats to make it fun even though i am usually able to play PS2 without cheats. It just isnt fun for long enough. so once you have finished the game and unlocked all the clothes, recipies, objects and locations its just boring! If you want to buy a game that you will complete in less than 2 weeks and will be thrown on a shelf in you room until you forget how to complete it and finish it again until you go threw it all again then i would advise you to buy it….But at this point you must wonder why i gave it 4 stars if its that bad. Well even though i’ve finishedd it 5 tims you can always make a new family and do it all again or make a freeplay family which will never end either way i was hooked to do it again! Its a good game but if you have the choice get it for PC……….
Customer Review: A Let-Down Compared to PC/Mac Version
I was prepared for the worst when I put in the Sims 2 disc into my PS2. I bought the Nintendo DS version of the game and was disappointed that it was unlike the orignial version on the computer. However, the Sims 2 on PS2 has the option of Free Play and I found that although it was not as satisfying as playing it on the computer, it does the job. Like the PC/Mac version; you can build sims, a house, relationships etc. (though doing these things proves to be much more tedious than on the computer) Also- it is alot more difficult building your ideal sim. Because I am used to the PC/Mac version, I find this game less fun than somebody who has never played the game would- but unlike the computer version there is no waiting for it to download (+ the computer version uses up hoards of memory on your PC/Mac).

The Sims 2: Pets (PS2)
In a nutshell:
The PC and console worlds combine thanks to man’s best friend and a mouse’s greatest enemy. Create, pamper and train your favoured furry companions in the latest The Sims 2 expansion.
The lowdown:
After years of trying to create less complex, mini-game orientated spin-offs it seems EA are now keen to see the PC and console The Sims games converge. This new iteration is an expansion pack on the PC but a full price, stand alone game on the consoles. As the name subtly hints the main addition to the game this time round is a number of four-legged friends, plus fish and birds (although it’s really cats and dogs that get most of the attention). You can also create your own personalised pet via a complex customisation tool that’s just as versatile as the one for humans and on the PC version you can even send your four-legged friend to work!
Most exciting moment:
On the PC this is a perfectly welcome but very narrow expansion. However the full price console version is actually a considerable improvement on the original with an easier-to-use interface, better artificial intelligence and even reduced loading times.
Since you ask:
The next PC expansion pack is called In Season and seems to be roughly analogous to The Sims expansion On Holiday, in that it’ll focus on exterior objects and locations. It’s not yet clear whether there’ll be a console version.
The bottom line:
Finally, The Sims is made to work on consoles!-HARRISON DENT
Customer Review: Much like the Sims 2 but with animals!
I had been looking for this game for ages and when I finally bought it, at first i was confused and fustrated with having to look after my pets and also my sim. But i soon caught on and now i can play it for hours.
Not much is different from The Sims 2, except some items of clothing, hairstyles and so home materials and of course not forgetting the addition of a furry friend to your home.
You can choose from many breeds of cats and dogs and even get mixed breeds through randomize or through breeding ( you can not breed a cat with a dog of course ), you can even give your pet a jacket, shoes and a hat or glasses (much like those annoying few who actually do dress up their animals). Fur colours such as blue, green,pink ect are also on this game, although some have to be unlocked through pet points, achived when your pet has completed a want.
Toys, shelters and clothing can also be unlocked in the town square. Here you can buy things for you pets, get them washed, board them in a kennel when you feel you need a break and also buy new pets and sell your old ones. The more you spend the more the town grows. Also meet new people from the neighbour hood, or if you just feel you need a break away from home with your pet, to help bound and teach it tricks without distraction you can both travel to the square. Maybe you pet will meet another pet and make a new friend or more.
Over all The Sims pets is a must buy for any Sims fans.
Customer Review: Sims 2 Pets - Playstation 2 - Excellent Fun
I loved playing the original Sims but couldn’t get it to run on my PC after a while, so I was keen to get a similar game I could run from the Playstation without fear of damaging my PC. This game is definitely it.
I’ve really enjoyed playing it, and had very few problems, so long as I save regularly.
Its not a game that has a definite beginning and end, its just an organic process of enjoying getting characters to interact - which has suited me down to the ground, really.
Some good laughs (especially when characters get abducted by aliens!) and lots of activities to master. It has certainly kept me occupied for hours at a time over many days while I’ve been recovering from an operation. Recommended - but be warned, it will eat into your social life!!
