I brought this game when it first came out, when I was around 9 or 10 years old. I think it was the best £30.00 I ever spent on a game. Having been a avid sims fan since it first started, the sims 2 is a dramatic improvement from the sims. The graphics are much more intense, the sims are 3D, and there are so many more features.
For those of you who don't know what this game is about, I'll enlighten you.
First of all, you start off by creating a family of 'sims'. sims are the charaters in the game. You can chose from toddler, child, teen, adult and elder in create a family mode. When creating your family, you can change every tiny feature; including eye colour, hair colour, hair style, face, skin tone, make-up, fat/thin, clothes, female/male, age, aspiration, and personality. After making your family, you are given a set amount of money and you can either move into a house or build your own. You can then furnish your house, make it your own. When both the house and sims are created, the real gameplay begins. Features include; getting your sims jobs, having children, growing older, death, teens and children go to school, socializing with other sims, marriage, retirement, ghosts, ailens, and much, much, more.
In addition to this, once you have bought the sims 2 you can go on to buy expansion packs to add more exciting features, clothes, etc to your game.
Well worth the money, This game has saved me from boredum many times. I could play on this game for hours!
