THE GOOD:
The Sims 2 has everything to be a perfect game...so realistic life,there are new options,and best off all,you can really make your Sim in every detail.

THE BAD:
There is only one thing...you know,I wish there were more age groups.You can make toodlers,then kids.But what if I want to make a kid about 7 years and other about 12 years?So there isn't option like that.That's the only thing.

SUMMARY:
This is the best game!You can really enjoy while playing game.Make your own neighborhood,your own Sim,everything!This is one of the most perfect games ever!And I really like because you can now meet mail-man,maid and other people.I think this the one of the game that will probably stay on the top.This was really a good step to victory for people who made Sims 2 because it's really better than Sims 1.

THE GOOD:
-The good real life situations.
-The graphics aren't too unrealistic and over the top.
-The fact you can use cheats.
-The way you have to earn skills.
-The children actually grow up unlike sims.
-Getting your sim promoted is really satisfactory.
-The expansion packs.
-You unlock new things so it doesn't get boring.

THE BAD:
-Slow loading.
-Expansion packs cost a lot.
-No online mode.
-The game doesn't always look that good on wider or smaller computer screens.

SUMMARY:
I think this game is really good for all ages. It doesn't get boring with the new expansion packs. Okay so I'm going to give you a tour and some tips.

You start off with three different neighborhoods which are: Veronalville, Strangetown and Pleasant View. Veronaville has a really entertaining Romeo and Juliet theme. With the two families Monty and Capp are biccoring over a broken promise. Obviously young...

THE GOOD:
The good is that everything that you wanted in Sims is now in Sims 2, there is aging, 3D, days (eg, monday, tuesday, wednesday etc...), and it goes on!

THE BAD:
The bad is that your computer needs to be a super computer to play it at top performance.

SUMMARY:
Well, firstly it takes a super compuiter to play this game at full, but even my crumy laptop can keep it going smoothly at a lower mode! So don't be thrown off by that!

Secondly, the aging, many say it's to short, well guess what, with the game, they provide a cheat and instructions on how to use it so you can stop aging, thus, keeping your sims alive, or as many do, turning aging off for all days apart from 1 day, thus making an adult around for 25 days before it becomes an elder!

The growing up is also better! You can use any bed, and then "Try for a baby", and there is a chance you will get the women pregnant, but since this is like real life,...

THE GOOD:
I have been a player of the original Sims game since it came outa few years ago. So naturally when the sequel to the "#1 PC game of all time" came out, i was the first in line for a copy.

Its very difficult to find anything wrong with this game. There is smooth gameplay, building houses has been taken to a whole new level (ha ha), the facial expressions of your sims and ability to create absolute monsters are just a few of the best features. The music is also better, but in one of the buying mode songs, there is an underbeat that really ticks me off after a while...
the MAKE A SIM page is heaps of fun, which can amuse you for hours. YOu can make absolute monsters or someone with a GINORMOUS nose(like my maths teacher)or with no nose at all. And you can make the Male Sims wear Make-up...what fun!!

A completely new feature to this game is the aging process, Babies become toddlers, toddlers become children, children become teenagers, teenagers...

-Walls get in your way

SUMMARY:
Graphics: 10/10
Sound: 9.5/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Value and Longevity: 8/10
Grade: A


This Game is the best game so far. If you don't have it yet..YOU HAVE TO GET IT. The sounds are pretty good (especially the Latin music on the Boombox)*Dances to the music* wooo!!..anyway...yeah this game is awesome..but for the people on the slow computers, I recommend you DON'T get this game. And also, this game works bet for all you Alienware Computer users. But it slows down on community lots...that's why Overall, I give it a 4.9 out of 5.hope you found this review helpful.check out my other reviews too!

~A movie making tool where you can create a movie, a music video, or whatever you like!
~Lots of better/more cheats than in the Sims 1
~The ability to decorate neighbourhoods.
~Cooler expansion packs than in the Sims 1.There are now things called 'stuff' packs where you can unlock hundreds of special items and clothing.
~You can now choose your Sims Formal, underwear, pyjamas, and athletic outfit as well as their everyday outfit.
~Time doesn't go on endlessly, and your sims age now.

THE BAD:
~Harder to generate relationships.

~If you have an old, slow computer ,it takes about 5 minutes to load.

THE GOOD:
Great graphics
Interesting Expansion packs
Behind all the new features it's still our old sims.

THE BAD:
Sometimes takes a while to load
Takes up a lot of space.

SUMMARY:
The game is a wonderful step up from the first sims and lets you customize your sims faces, hair and clothes in the create-a-sim menu as well as allowing you to add personality points and an aspiration.

The whole idea of aspiration is great too. You can pick family, fortune, popularity, romance, knowledge and if you buy the Nightlife expansion pack, Pleasure. Each aspiration has wants and fears and when one or another is achieved the aspiration of the sim goes up and they can buy aspiration awards.

Although the game has a lot more features and cool items it has the same idea which is to play through your sims life which is a lot more interesting then it sounds. Your sim can marry and have children and you continue from then. You...

THE GOOD:
~Many options are available. You can get a job, socialize, go out and party, decorate your house, throw parties, and much more.
~The Create-A-Sim area allows for extensive customization of characters, and creation of original ones.
~Nearly unlimited playing time, as families grow and move into their own households.
~Creative details include using "Simlish" instead of actual sound bytes.
~Addictive playing style will keep players glued to their computers for hours.
~Players can control the age group for each member of a family.

THE BAD:
~Sometimes, clunky, uneven animation occurs.
~Most of the best options must be bought with expansion packs, which can be costly.
~Houses and community lots can take quite a while to load.
~The learning curve for the game can be high, as there are a lot of options available, which can overwhelm.
~The online site requires that you spend more money on downloads, which can...
