User Rating: 9.3 | The Sims (DVD) PC
I was never into Maxis simulation games before this. They never really seemed to take my fancy. Building up a society just didn't seem like much fun in my opinnion. The Sims proved me wrong. The Sims is a game that holds a uniqueness. It is perfect in almost every way. You begin by creating a family. You then choose a plot of land or a pre-made house. From there on, there are many, many choices to make. What job will your Sims have? Will the man work, will the woman clean the house? How many kids will you have? When should you buy a new fridge? You control your families lives. Everything they do is scripted by you and you alone. You can order them to find a job, or you can keep them unemployed and broke. Whatever it is you wish, it is your command. The Sims is a simulation of life. It gives you a chance to start a pretend life where you can do anything you wish. How about burning yourself down? That's possible too. There are many items that your Sims can purchase. You build your own house, from floor to ceiling. You can add the windows and the doors, choosing which ones to suit your taste. You can then furnish your house with hundreds of well-made items. You can choose different kinds of fridges, computers, tables, chairs, beds, and even garbage bins. All of these items are open to you so that you can choose what kind of life your Sims will lead. The Sims is one of the most unique games ever made. You experience your Sims lives, and can then live out your own. Maxis have always been the masters of simulation games. The Sims is no exception to their superb career. If you own a PC, and want to have fun, The Sims is there for you.
