If you’re a “Sims” fan, you’ll likely enjoy “SimAnimals.” It’s an engrossing game that, like the rest of the “Sims” games, offers completely open-ended gameplay, many interesting challenges and endless potential for micromanagement and busywork. If you’re a “Viva Pinata” fan, you may find “SimAnimals'” animal interactions too shallow. There’s no naming your animals, dressing them up or teaching them circus tricks. Though you can alter your animals’ behavior through conditioning, they always remain wild animals and are never pets. Perhaps, though, this is the yet another lesson of “SimAnimals.”
Actually, you can name your animals. Just click on the animals name and the typewriter shows up. I’m playing it now and having fun so far.
Cool! So do you think it’s worth $50 now or should I wait a few months and probably pick it up for $30 (some place will end up for selling it for that much, they always do…)
