Summary: Best Game Ever!
Comment: This is by far the most fun game I have ever played! I would recommend it to anyone that likes to create their own world. Not for someone that likes fast action though. It is a repetitive game, but I find it a great escape from my own world.

Summary: I love this game
Comment: The Sims 2 is awesome--so much better than the original. It's also better on a Mac than a PC--its a lot faster.

Summary: Wave "bye-bye" to your social life!
Comment: Ah, the Sims. Wonderful little creatures that obey our every commands, making us feel like God, only without some smart-a$$ coming along and nailing things to cathedral doors.

You're doubtless quite familiar with the Sims as a premise. Basically you create and control people. You run every aspect of their lives. You make them do their bidding, and if that means building a house full of nothing but wooden furniture and fireplaces, then by gum, you can do that!

"Sims 2" is a massive improvement over the original game. It took everything that was good about the original and basically set it to eleven, while toning down a lot that wasn't so great (you don't have to micromanage your Sims nearly as much). With this game you get a whole new set of bells and whistles, including a 3D enviroment, Sims that actually age and will eventually die of old age (provided you aren't the sort who tells them to go swimming and then deletes the ladder so they can't leave the pool. Mwa-ha-ha-ha!), new jobs, new aspirations, new gizmos, new building options, etc, etc!

It can be kind of overwhelming at first, but if you start out small the game will guide you, and you'll soon be running people's lives just like that one aunt you have who thinks she knows exactly how everyone should do things and loves to tell you, at length, about how you're messing up your life!

Oh, and to really do this right, make sure you pick up the University expansion pack, which adds college and a new life stage, young-adult, to your Sims life! Toga... Toga... TOGA... TOGA!

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I got hooked to it! Playing this game everyday and every night. My fiance also got hooked to it. It's amazing. It's almost realistic, but funny!

Summary: decent game
Comment: For those who played sims 1, this game comes as a nice evolution - for those who are playing the game for the first time it's just as interesting. The game has added on some nice, interesting, quirks - but otherwise it's generally the graphics that make this game leap ahead in my mind.

Honestly, the game (like any of the sims) is time consuming and often tedious, because of that it didn't rate as well for me fun-wise. My favorite part of this game has always been being able to recreate or even create houses. For that reason the game rated somewhat better overall.


Editorial Reviews:

The Sims 2 is an incredible sequel to the best-selling PC game of all-time! You'll get to direct an entire Sims' lifetime, and try to get them to reach their goals in life. Will they have a long, successful and happy life - or will they end up poor and heartbroken?
