Full Review of The Sims 2 for PC
Previous | Other Reviews for this game

The short video is very good and entertaining. I especially like the hot guy walking and the girls in love with him. Heaps of colours as well in it with the ending video of the intro video being the girl diving into the pool with the huge mansion next to it is great.

Graphics

Now I have to admit the graphics are pretty darn good. The choice of what you want your Sim to look like is fantastic. They've also done a very good job of minor things such as fireplaces, bookshelves, telescopes etc. The colours are also very well done and if it weren't for those great graphics, it wouldn't be a good game.

Sound

I reckon the sound is very good. You always get the occasional humming when doing cooking or other things. The tempo and pitch of the voice is also very well done and very thught out as well. It also gives you a happy feeling whether it's the intro video or exiting or entering the house.

Gameplay

Although I can't do it, I'd give it a 9.5. The gameplay is just breathtaking. Just do whatever you like. Get the home phone... OOPS, I don't have one. No need to worry there's a mobile. Oh, I can't get that huge dining table for the wedding, oh yes, I can type in cheats-great gameplay controls.

Lastability

Now this game could go for at least 25 years. I've had it for two so far and I'm still hooked. The creators just keep making more and more and more neighbourhoods and people and I love it. Problem is it takes up a lot of space on the computer. That's why It wasn't a 10/10 performance.

Overall

Geez, it's a good game. Definetly a crowd-pleaser, no matter what your into, I recommend it. A great role playing-game that is suitable for nearly anybody. Whether your nice and you let them live till their elderly years or whether you kill them when they're not even a Teen, you'll be happy and impressed.
