Sims 2 is quite an enjoyable game but can get pretty boring after awhile. But still, I must give Maxis two thumbs up!

Gameplay As far as gameplay goes with this game its great. It has great functionality and almost and endless amount of objects that can be interacted with. Though some of the simplest things are missing from gameplay, such as handling two objects at once and muti-tasking. Not having these things in the game make it frusterating at times. It also gets hard managing your Sims moods. I just download an object hack for that though so i can play other aspects of the game. Graphics The graphics in this game are amazing. I'd have to say this game has the best graphics for a PC game to date. The objects are smooth and real looking, the world your sim lives in has great shadowing and lighting effects along with great animations. The sims move in very smooth motions, just like a human would. Sound The sound in this game it good. When you are in buy and build mode cool music comes up, but after about 10 minutes of listening to it you want to import your own mp3s into the game which is possible. When the game is in live mode the sound effects sound unbelievably clear. If you buy this game i would recommend importing your own mp3s into the game. Value The game is a great value. I would pay $49 for this type of game any day. Summary Overall it is a great game and is very enjoyable to play. It might get a bit boring after a while but you can always go to your favorite fansite and download new objects or wait for the next expansion pack.
