A great start!

User Rating: 9.6 | The Sims 2 PC
If you're reading this, then you've probably already read alot of the other great things that The Sims 2 holds. This game is great! Not to mention that it's highly addictive. Any complaints I have are things that can and probably will be fixed in expansions. I do wish that the aspiration system was less rigid. Personally I think it should work more like skills... allowing you to give your sim a mix of aspirations, possibly focusing in one area, but with a secondar goal as well. I've heard complaints about the music, but I like it. It definitely adds to the personality of this game. AS i flipped through the story pages for Pleasantville I felt like the soundtrack fit right in, adding that touch of ironic hunor the Sims is known for. I would like it if you could see your neighbors houses next dootr and across the street instead of miles of open land... but I suppose that's a hardware limitation than anything else and we'll just have to wait for the technology to increase. Overall, The Sims 2 has restored that magic the original Sims had.
