a great idea to base this game in collage this game could be the number 1 sims game
Gameplay: Gameplay as far as The Sims 2 should go should deserve an 8 or 9 by itself, with hundreds of new additions from the original and so much to do in your sims' lifetimes you won't know what to do next. The new aging system seems scary and overwhelming at first, but the moment you get used to it you'll want most of your sims to die soon anyway! It was the overall perfect addition to The Sims. As far as University goes it created an amazing whole new world in The Sms, with a new way to help your sims set goals you'll never be more excited to get on the computer and help them proceed ever again. With so much to do you will want to make sim after sim and just keep playing till the end of time. Gameplay for The Sims 2 and its expansion truly deserve a solid 10.
Graphics: As for me, my computer can't take these graphics as well as I'd like them too. I've heard there have been many performance issues for a lot of people. Nothing major though, the most notable was the fact that you can only invite up to 2 guests to your parties, making them nearly obsolete. But don't let that bring you down either, this game really does look overall amazing and you won't be let down, especially since most of the effects are really good looking. Such as facial expressions which never seem to get repetitive. Because of the slight performance issues I'm giving The Sims 2 an 8.
Sound: Not a lot to say for sound. There are a lot of new sound animations and the new radio stations are particularly good, especially the new College Rock stations, where I heard they even got real Indie bands to perform songs in Simglish. I found the refreshing new sounds to the sims deserved at least an 8.
Overall: Buy this game. You won't regret it, especially if you're a fan of the original go out and buy The Sims 2 and The Sims 2: University. Overall this game actually does deserve a 94 and is an instant classic in my honest opinion.
