The story in Sims 2 is as quirky and lighthearted as the series itself, so don't expect to save the universe in a galactic space battle. Now before you start thinking there's a grand, epic journey awaiting you, just know there isn't. In a way, it almost feels like developers tried to make an adventure game set in the Sims universe, changing everything they could without spoiling the formula fans have come to expect. After several Sims titles where personal management took most of your time, it's nice to do something different. Sure, you still need to worry about keeping your sim happy, but these basic needs almost take a backseat to uncovering mysteries, talking to characters and exploring the gameworld. Instead of just cultivating relationships and taking care of personal needs, you can actually participate in a story. Most of these changes deal with narrative, namely, that the PSP version actually has one.
