NDS Hilary Duff Hits Nintendo DS

Electronic Arts is proud to present multi-platinum, chart-topping recording artist, actress, fashion designer and philanthropist Hilary Duff in the upcoming The Sims 2 Pets. Are gamers happy with that too?

Electronic Arts says to be pleased to announce a partnership with multi-platinum, chart-topping recording artist, actress, fashion designer and philanthropist Hilary Duff, to make her inaugural video game debut in the critically acclaimed, best-selling, groundbreaking video and PC game franchise, The Sims. Through this partnership, Hilary will appear in The Sims 2 Pets, joined by her beloved Chihuahua Lola, released this October. To check out Hilary in The Sims 2 Pets, pick up a copy of the game before December 31st.

"I've logged hundreds of hours playing The Sims games, so I jumped at the chance to be in The Sims 2 Pets," said Sims aficionado Hilary. "I love creating Sims characters and guiding them through life, designing their houses and then blinging them out with cool furniture. Now, in The Sims 2 Pets, EA has combined two things I really enjoy - pets and The Sims!"

"Hilary is the perfect partner for The Sims 2 Pets - not only is she a huge animal lover, but she is also a Sims fan!" exclaimed Rod Humble, executive producer for The Sims Division of Electronic Arts. "Hilary was involved in every step of the process, from creating the Hilary and Lola characters to designing some of the tricks dogs can do in the game."

"Although she's trying not to let it go to her head, Lola is very excited to make her cameo in The Sims 2 Pets next month!" exclaimed Hilary about her two year old Blue Fawn Teacup Chihuahua, Lola. "We can't wait to hang at Central Town Park, play with other pups and shop around for the latest pet accessories! Check out her blog for updates on her videogame fandom at www.hilaryduff.com."

The Sims 2 Pets will build on the celebrated The Sims 2 experience which allows players to create and control characters throughout their life while determining the outcome of their relationships and adventures. The addition of a new furry friend is guaranteed to enrich the daily lives of your Sims! Not only will players have the opportunity to choose from a variety of existing cat and dog breeds and hottest designer mixes, but they'll also be able to personally design their new friend with the Create-a-Pet feature. The ability to customize gives fans the opportunity to create their ideal pet by choosing their body shape, unique markings, even their pet's personalities! As in real life, your Sims' pet will benefit from care and training. A neglected cat with an urge to scratch might claw up your new couch if you aren't careful, and leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isn't wise, so expect the unexpected!

Hilary and Lola appear in the following versions of The Sims 2 Pets. (Note, in each version, they appear differently) In the Nintendo DS version, Hilary will visit the Central Park with her dog, Lola. Other Sims can chat with Hilary and befriend her. If Hilary likes the player, she will start to bring Lola to the Pet Care Center where Sims can teach Lola new tricks, improve her health, and make her happier. Lola is a people pleaser, so after learning a new trick, she won't be shy about showing it off at the Central Park!
