Welcome to the The Sims 2 Review page.

I have always loved the Sims games in the past. I own many Sims games, including The Sims: Deluxe Edition, The Sims: Superstar, The Sims: Hot Date, and The Urbz: Sims In the City (For Nintendo DS), and I loved all of those games!

But when Sims 2 came out, I got somewhat nervous. If you look at the screenshots above, Sims 2 looks like a very complicated game. I was worried that it would be TOO complicated. I had also read some reviews about how building a house is very hard and confusing. But when I decided to buy the game, everything was proven wrong. I loved the full new 3D graphics, and building a house was not hard at all. Grant it, I must say that it took an hour or two to get used to the new location of all of the building buttons, but I had no other problems after that!

I love The Sims 2. It is by far the most played game on my computer! There are tons of new features. I'm not going to go on and on about the new features, since they are most likely listed in the "Editor Review" above. But some notable features that I enjoy are...

-----------------------------------------------------------
- The aging process...your Sims will not stay as a child, or an adult forever. After a certain amount of days, your Sim will grow into either a toddler, a child, a teenager, an adult, or an elder. And yes, sadly, your Sims die. But that is not the end!

- The family tree...after playing for awhile, you may find yourself with two elders, and one young adult. "Now what?" you will say to yourself. Never fear! You can now move your younger Sim out of the house when it is time for him to leave. That young adult can now start his life away from home. He will even take his traits with him, so when he has children, you will see some of grandma and grandpa in him!

- Creating your sim...you have so many options when creating your Sim, almost too many! You will be able to customize any part of body on your sim: the eyes, nose, eyebrows, makeup, bathing suit, fitness...everything!

- Aspiration Points...your sim now knows what they want, and these things they want are in the Aspiration button on the bottom of your screen. If they get what they want, you will receive "Aspiration Points". If the sim has many Aspiration points, he/she's aspiration bar will turn white, and he/she will be very happy! Plus, you can now "buy" special things (not available in buy mode) with your aspiration points.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Now I'm sorry if I went on too long (which I think I did) about the new features. To tell you the truth, just go out and buy the game! You will not be disappointed.

Good luck, and happy Sims 2 playing!

In conclusion, I give The Sims 2 a 9.85/10 rating!

Buy The Sims 2
