As a port, The Sims 2: Pets isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

Cooking Mama: World Kitchen is a worthy successor to the prior Wii title.

#8. Real Heroes: Firefighter
- Release Data: Epicenter Studios/Conspiracy Entertainment, 2009
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Career
Despite its occasionally unforgiving controls, Real Heroes: Firefighter is a very respectable, unique take on life as a firefighter.
Some of the levels are a little too long for their own good, and the action is repetitive at times, but there’s a good amount of fun to be had here if your wrists are up to the job.
#7. MySims
- Release Data: EA Redwood Shores/EA Games, 2007
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
It’s far from perfect but it has plenty to offer in terms of entertainment and innovation.
Younger players will undoubtedly warm to its charms faster than older ones, but MySims further extends the appeal of the Wii as a console for everyone.
This is a game that is sure to attract players of all ages.
#6. Animal Crossing: City Folk
- Release Data: Nintendo, 2008
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
The core game is extremely charming.
If you have never played an Animal Crossing game before and the calendar and collecting features of this simulation intrigue you, don’t hesitate to pick it up.
Newcomers to the world of Animal Crossing will enjoy the game’s charmingly addictive open-ended play, which has transitioned extremely well from the DS.
#5. The Sims 2: Castaway
- Release Data: Maxis/Electronic Arts, 2007
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
As far as Sims games go, Castaway is a refreshing change of pace that brings some truly unique and enjoyable ideas to the series.
Whilst the overall experience is certainly flawed in many ways, if you can look past that there is a lot of content and options tucked away for you to discover.
#4. Trauma Center: New Blood
- Release Data: Atlus, 2007
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Career
Trauma Center: New Blood is a successful operation.
Even though the dialogue is flat and some of the procedures are frustrating, this game combines signature surgical gameplay with a double dose of challenge and great cooperative play for a trip to the hospital you will enjoy.
#3. MySims Kingdom
- Release Data: EA Redwood Shores/Electronic Arts, 2008
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life
Finishing the main story should take about eight hours, though that could be doubled if you feel like hunting down every object and completing optional tasks.
Despite the occasional camera or control issues, MySims Kingdom is a lot of fun and recommended for those new to The Sims or for anyone looking for a lighthearted, laid-back adventure.
#2. Trauma Center: Second Opinion
- Release Data: Atlus, 2006
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Career
In this excellent surgeon simulation, you’ll be tasked with performing a wide variety of high-risk medical procedures.
Each patient requires a gentle touch, as you’ll be rated on how efficiently and cleanly you operate.
The quick nature of the motion-controls makes this an immersive and intense experience, and one you’ll surely enjoy if you like a challenge.
#1. Trauma Team
- Release Data: Atlus, 2010
- Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Career
Instead of playing as one character, you’ll control six different medical professionals, ranging from paramedics to surgeons.
As you progress through the story, you’ll have to treat a variety of patients by utilizing sharp tools and high-tech gear.
The story is a cool mixture of anime-action and intelligent medical mystery, which is highly unique and interesting.
Definitely try this one.
