Pros: Same addictive game, new goal-oriented gameplay, 3D graphics, camera control, just awesome

Review: Gameplay: 10 Graphics: 9 Sound: 10 Concept: 10 Replay Value: 10 How do you follow the best-selling game of all time? Easy: make a sequel that's the same, but better. That's exactly what the Maxis team did with Sims 2, and the result is easily ...

Pros: Extraordinary level of detail and the genetics thing is way cool...

Cons: ...absolute resource hog and lacks some of the best features of the first time round.

The Bottom Line: Complex, detailed, beautiful to look at.

Review: I was an absolute Sims Junkie. I deliberately stayed away from the Online version as I knew, deep down, it would kill all real social interaction and would replace my friends with little online avatars. I needed those expansion packs like a smoker ...

Review: My love for The Sims 1 was what brought me to buy the newest addition, The Sims 2. I already had my copy pre bought before it even hit the shelves. I knew if I did'nt get my copy early I'd most likely be waiting a month after it came out, to get it at ...

Pros: fun, addicting, easy to play

Cons: loading time

The Bottom Line: A fun update of the old Sims games, more to see and do, still haven't experienced every little thing, very addicting

Review: I have been a Sim addict since the very first Sims games. I loved how you could take these people and teach them new things and then have them fall in love, take them out on dates, have a house party, go on vacation... Now EA Games and Maxis has ...

Pros: Lovely, detailed graphics, excellent and suitable sound. Clear attention to issues from first game. Freedom.

Cons: Buggy and needs patching before play. Sims age too quickly.

The Bottom Line: A not to be missed classic. If you even remotely liked the original game, the Sims 2 is sure to delight. Maxis should be proud of themselves.

The Bottom Line: A must have for anyone who likes to play video games just hopefully you can juggle two lives.

Review: So as you've probably heard Maxis and EA finally made the sequel to what most people will tell you is the number 1 PC game of all time. I think it was about 4 years ago the sims made their debut on the PC. The game did well in fact it was the number ...

Pros: Pretty much all if it is pro

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Sims 2 is the best.

Review: The Sims 2 for Windows works with windows 98 through xp and is so much better then the first sims. I purchased it from Walmart for 49.99 a few months ago. I am addicted to the game. There are a few families started for you and plenty of lots too. The ...

Pros: fun,great sound, great graphics, interesting, great community, well worth the price, has great expansions

Review: At Last, in six hours on the computer, I can recreate myself in a better looking version, marry a sexy rich celebrity I've always dreamed of, get promoted to my dream job, have as many kids as I please, then die. Then, I can marry off my kids to even ...
