Why should you buy this game? More like why Shouldn't you buy this game?!!!! It's MINT!
The perfect music added to the game, just what you need to listen to as you watch the huge slap-fest between the two sisters fighting over the richest Sim in the city. It's great. There are many features that will keep you entertained, such as Create a Sim, Create a Neighbourhood, or you can play some of the storylined cities that have been created for you such as Pleasuretown, with lots of families in a bunch of dilemas yet all intertwined.
Other great features allow your families to have children which have some of the same characteristics as the parents. If your not in liking to watch a toddler crawl about... why not make your sims fall in love and then make their own baby. Which then will grow older and older.
You play as GOD and you decide whether this baby will be spoiled and have a great upbringing with wealth and happiness. Or torture your sim by throwing it's fears straight at them. Watch your sim grow from baby to child to teen to adults to pensioner, and eventually die.
As the box says
"THEY'RE BORN. THEY DIE. What happens in between is up to you"
That's all there is to it. Love your sim. Hate your sim. Fall in love? Or fall into a bottemless barrel of disaster. Have hours of endless fun just messing around with other people's life without any consequenses - completely the opposite of real life. I mean, i feel like i have had a bad life so far, that's right, a 16 year old being bullied by God, sounds pathetic... but the tables have turned as I now have this game and I AM THE GOD. I DECIDE THE SIMS' DESTINIES! AND YOU NEED TO ASWELL. DON'T EVEN BOTHER RENTING THIS GAME... JUST BUY IT! YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
The possibilities in this game are endless. The sky is the limit. It's revolutionary, innovative and a masterpeice. THIS is the future of PC games!
