My Most Played Game of All Time...
User Rating: 9.3 | The Sims 2 PC
When scoring this title I had too choose how much time I had played this game to date. I scrolled down looking for the 500+ hours and was disappointed that Gamespot only lets me put 100+ hours. This is the kind of game that the Sims 2 is and always will be. No matter how much you play it, you will always want to come back and play it some more. I will never understand what I like so much about this game. The graphics are nothing special and have not improved one bit in any of this game's many expansion packs. The sound is good but at the same time nothing we haven't seen before. It may be the gameplay or it may just be the sheer amount of options. But I believe that, like almost all Will Wright games it is that you control your own experience. The Sims did that type of gameplay like no other game before it and The Sims 2 take that experience times 10. Your Sims now have aspirations, they age, pass their genetics to their children, climb their job latter, and now in full 3D! Which considering it's 2007, it isn't much of a surprise but hey it came out three years ago so who knows. People may be talking about Spore this and Spore that now but, The Sims 2 will always have a special place in my game collection and I will probably be playing this game until the announced The Sims 3 comes out in like 2009. But as a fair warning: THIS GAME IS NOT FOR EVERYONE!!! If you are more into more action oriented games or long linear RPGs this game may seem extremely tedious as it has no beginning and no end. But you should know by now if your into simulation games so I'll leave that choice up to you. But this game would definitely be on my top 5 recommended games too anyone so take that as you will.
