    Sims 2 is an all right game if you like going around collecting items, and going through goal-oriented gameplay. It is presented well, but it has some gameplay, and computer intelligence issues that might hinder your experience. If you already have the game for PC then doesn’t worry about buying this one, otherwise rent before you buy. Read more

    If you're looking to get the PC version of The Sims 2 on your console then you're going to be disappointed but what you do get is a solid The Sims game that offers classic sims gameplay with additions, tweaks and improvements. If you have a PC then go for that version but if not and you're a fan of The Sims then this console port is definitely you best option. There's also a two player split screen option in this version to add some extra play but it isn't quite the s... Read more

    That’s why I’d like to come back to the good intentions. I’ll write one down now in my too big notebook. “I’m going to be more precise in my reviews in 2006. It’s irritating my readers. They might not read my reviews from this time on and they’ll give negative comments throwing me back in a downwards spiral. This also has an influence on my mood which affects my inspiration to write a review. To keep it short: Mario, stop wining and get to the point.” Too bad that thi... Read more

    One more complaint, if you'll indulge me, is the complete lack of faith or spirituality in the game. It seems to me that adding Church on Sundays, Yoga, Buddhist meditation, etc., as an alternative way to fill your Comfort or Social stats would be a positive thing for the game and something gamers of faith would enjoy (and wouldn't offend anyone). I'm not religious myself (just adding that to keep my gripe in perspective) but I might someday want to explore a Sim who ... Read more

    The graphics are a great improvement on the first game, and the 360 degree camera rotation feature is stunning (compared to the 4 camera angles in the original Sims game). The Sim‘s listen to your orders more in this game, and use more autonomy (i.e. they will answer the phone most times without you having to tell them to… or attend to the baby instead of ignoring it). As any Sims follower will know, it was quite hard to kill the Sims in the first game (if you wanted ... Read more
