Unlimited replay value and witty fun makes this game a winner!
User Rating: 8.8 | The Sims 2 PC
Gameplay: The gameplay is very simple, with a very nice UI. Building a house can cause some minor frustrations tough, as some small quirks (you can't put a light in front of a door). The create a sim mode, though, is a masterpiece, with a gene blender to create genetically correct babies. The sim's emotions are complex and will astound you sometimes, such as when a sim is afraid of a stove because he made one fire. Some things just happen randomly and keep the pace of the game going. Graphics: The game has gotten an major update, as now everything is rendered in full 3D. If you can run it at all high, you will see every little detail has been tended to. The swimming pool floor and wall shimmer, mirrors actually reflect, and windows cast shadows on the floors. But, the graphics are not anything extremely special, coming from a person who has played Half Life 2. Sound: This is one of the game's down points. There is music when you're in build mode and buy mode, but the music can get downright annoying. The music sims dance to is also annoying, but you can change that music. Value: The sims, as many of you now, has an unlimited replay value. Some people go as far as saying that it's more of a toy than a game. Therefore the game's value is excellent.
