EA Reveals The Sims 2 Pets

Today, EA formally introduced the latest Sims game -- The Sims 2 Pets. The game, available for nearly every major console in October, will add creature comforts to the enormously popular simulation franchise.

Every version will include a Create-A-Pet feature, which EA is promising will extend from dogs and cats to caged animals. EA also says that the Create-A-Pet feature will enable players to custom-design the look and temperment of their animal friend -- "from smart and sweet to silly and sloppy."

Pets aren't always sugar and spice, however -- some naughty pets will chew up the furniture and dig holes in the yard. But the game will allow you to apply discipline and verbal commands to smooth out their bad-doggie behavior.

Each of the platforms offers their own exclusive features, but the PC version has the most interesting frills: you'll be able to custom-breed your pooches to create beasts like the "Labradoodle," the "Puggle," and the "Schnoodle." On the PC, pets can also hold down regular jobs -- security, show business, or service-related work.

Designed more as a standalone experience than another expansion pack, the game will ship on October 17th for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance. The game will also arrive as a PC expansion pack. A PSP version will be available in November.
