By far, the most successful PC game out there and will be until the Sims 3 comes out. It's the most epic game ever!
The range of furnature is absolutely great. From modern bliss, To traditional. It's all there. And the cheap things to start off. It's a shame everyone cheats all the time to make their sims rich because it's better to raise the sims standard by themselves. Theres also a HUGE range of clothes, from dark goth, to flower tops, to seventies rocker denim. So many personalities can be made in one game.
Also, my tip is go to options, and then go to Audio. Check out the stereo music. The songs on there are absolutely epic! You can do many things on this single game. Be rick and own all the ladies (Or men if you're a woman). Aspiration Points was a great idea. Doing things you're sim REALLY wants to do and get points to get real rare items. Like elixer of life, to a money tree! It's all there.
I know it seems very unprofessional to give a Ten, But i just simply can't dock it in any way. Hey gamespot, you'll have to get a new scoring system. All beware the sims 3! It will be the best game in the world!
A complete success. I reccoment this game to everyone. Anyone can enjoy the simplicity, of The Sims 2.
