 Better Than I Thought it Would Be July 3, 2007

I played the first version of the Sims and liked it, but there were little things that always bothered me about it, like constantly having to make the sims go to the bathroom, and how it took them forever to walk around each other, how difficult it was to get them to talk to each other and date, etc., so I put off buying The Sims 2 until I got a new computer recently.
Well, I have to say I am really loving this game and have fallen in love with it all over again. I actually bought this title and all the other expansion packs at once (through Seasons) and installed them altogether. The experience is really great! The graphics are much better, I love the way you can manipulate the camera angles, and the sims are now a little smarter about what they do autonomously, so if I have a large family to play, I can concentrate on one sim for a while and not have to worry about what the others are doing.
The downtown area in the Nightlife section is really cool, and it takes less time to order and receive food now. I like the new date scoring system, and the new aspirations give a little sense of urgency to the game, which I enjoy. You now have specific goals to work toward with each sim, and there's incentive to reach the goals because you know your sim will eventually die. Oh, and did I mention that there's vampires now?
Love, love, love what they've done to this game!

The Sims 2 is a brench mark for the best interactive game you could get. Other then being online. It a trend of life and does teach some value for teens how to take care of themselves. It very complex to learn and not easy to get to know. I suggested getting the guide book for it, once you get to know it a little. I had problems installing "Fun Stuff" packs and other download. But my daughter had no problems playing the base and Sims 2 Pets on the PC. If you want to get a sample before playing the PC version. Get a DS version of Sims 2 and Sims 2 Pets and New MySims coming out.
Bit of warning. better have a very large hard drive and above average video card. I have base game and four expansion packs and three "fun stuff" added n packs. Also the download could fill your hard drive up fast. Deluxe comes with a built in expansion "Night Life" so you have a pack to start with. Also patch your games and save the files folder regularly (located in your My Document Folder).

Writing this review at age 19, I have been playing games as my primary hobby for about fourteen years now, ever since I sat down to Wing Commander at age 5. In my experience I have played them all, each big name release put through it's paces. From Doom to Duke Nukem to SWAT to Halo 2, games are a passion of mine. Yet for every gore-soaked, action-packed release by id, every cinematic masterpiece released from the studios at Infinity Ward, very few games have managed to garner lasting approval and appeal for me as The Sims 2. This game, while extremely easy to play and user-friendly, packs astounding depth. The massive variety of accessorizing, purchasing, and constructing options allows, literally and mathmatically, quadrillions of possible lives for your Sims to lead, and the experience of taking care of another person's life, like cyber pseudo-parenting, is one that is sure to make you grin openly, and remind you why you ever liked videogames in the first place.

 The only problem June 9, 2007

The only problem I have found with this game is if you install anything before the H&M Fashion stuff it makes your game act funny. It acts funny in it won't let you put windows or doors in your houses. It says they need to sit in the middle of the tile. But other than that i love this game.
Best Game Ever December 15, 2007

THe sims 2 is a brilliant game by Ea games. It shows multiple experiences of real life (having babies,getting married,death,and love)as well as unrealistic(getting abducted by aliens,having the grim reaper come after you die etc.) I believe it is a great game for anyone but not really for kids under 10. It does have some adult themes such as "woohoo" and bars(which the make as juice)I would recomend it to anyone who dosen't like games with a real objective. I would also suggest that you should not start on Pleasant View because it tends to screw up you're gaming experience. I would suggest strange town. It is a great learning experience for anyone who is a beginner. Sims is a wonderful game (but after you play sims 2 you just CANT go back to the regular sims ( I tried trust me it hurts) I would buy sims because it is worth you're $30 dollars (stuff packs are usually $20) Happy simming!
