Like some of the changes...

User Rating: 8.6 | The Sims 2 PS2
This really changed the Sims, you can directly control your character, and for those of you that didnt know you can press select and change to the normal sims layout. The grapics are nice. But i noticed, if you have an older PS2 model, you will get alot of lag, and will cause some frustration. i would say rent it first in case this is your first sims game, otherwise check out The Urbz, which was a very good game, but back to Sims 2. There are lots of clothing and objects you can purchase. But something i really hate is the fire code. If you dont folow it something will randomly catch on fire. but in The Sims it just wouldnt let you put in anymore objects. So a good game overall, but i miss the classic format.
The gameplay is very unique, there are more than 4 ways of a relationship. There is like almost 7 or 8 now. But im wondering... can you have children.
