If you like Tycoon games and The Sims, this expansion that mixes both could please you greatly.
Creating a family and running their little lives is strangely thrilling.
The open ended nature keeps me coming back to the game, but sometimes I wish there were goals outside keeping your toilet well scrubbed, keeping grades up at Uni and clubbing.
The Sims 2: Open For Buisness, adds some purpose to an otherwise straightfoward Sim existence.
As implied, in The Sims 2 you can run your own buisness - selling anything in the large roster of Sims items. Wanna sell toilets? You can!
Ever thing your neighbourhood was sorely lacking in Pink Flamingos?
Well open up your own 'Flamingos R Us'.
Running a successful buisness isn't particularly easy in my oppinion.
Keeping the store clean, making customers happy and having your store well stocked can be a challenge - but it beats the usual routine of having your sim disapear for 6 or so in game hours.
In short, the new gameplay features and the obligatory hundred + new items make this an essential purchase for any fans of The Sims or Tycoon style games of which this expansion lightly simulates.
