The Sims 2

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 Romeo and Juliet in love. Strangetown is well you can tell by the name strange they've got aliens and the works. Strange...

THE BAD:
Only some glitches and sometimes slow loading.
The expnsions which makes the game more fun may cost a bit much

SUMMARY:
The Sims 2 developed by Maxis and distributed by Electronic Arts with the genre of life simulation.

Now let us start with the tour to The Sims 2. A great successor of Sims 1, the Sims 2. It became the bestselling game over 2004. Which sold a hundred million copies. Gamers all over the world, especially teens, bought the game. With so many expansion and stuff packs it allows you to customize anything.

You can customize anything anyhow. You can build Sims with different personalities. You can make him fat or thin. Make him nice or grouchy. You can design their head and their body with different clothes. The body shop even allows you to make your own clothes. Most of the players create the model of themselves; well, I made it. It just proves that you can make anything ...

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 annoy.

SUMMARY:
As only a handful of games can accomplish, The Sims, when it first cam...

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 can control your sims by pointing and selecting options which is quite fun.

Your sim can...

THE BAD:
-Need more advanced video card, RAM upgrade etc.
-Big house + Lots of sims = Lag with lower end computers

SUMMARY:
Overall this is a good game for those who love to play simulation games and is a major improvement on the original sims games. Better graphics and better in game features and gameplay makes this a good game but be warned you need to have a computer that has high settings to deal with the new higher graphics.

The extra details such as the aging process and the ability to talk and have relationships with household staff, and other details as reflections in mirrors make the game just that little more realistic.

The create-a-sim options have increased as you can change almost every detail of your sim to make them more interesting and in this game you can make a sim more like yourself. Unlike the original si...

THE BAD:
-Higher graphics means a better computer.
-Unable to minimize, to do other tasks.
-Even with a good computer, big house, lots of items, lots of Sims, really eats away at your computer's performance.

SUMMARY:
The base game, by itself, is by its on right a fantastic game. There are so many new features, that simply bring the game to life.
You can now become a friend, or a best friend. Have a crush, or fall in love. Also if you choose to get married, you won't suddenly get dressed in clothes and do it right there and then. If you propose you'll be engaged and have the opportunity to plan your wedding with a wedding cake and audience.
...

THE BAD:
~Harder to generate relationships.
~Harder to build.
~I think you need to have a graphics card on your PC to play this.
~If you have an old, slow computer ,it takes about 5 minutes to load.
~Can get boring if you don't have any expansion packs.

SUMMARY:
Overall, this is a VERY good game .It is best played with Windows XP or Vista. ...

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, there is a chance you get nothing, but anyway, there is morning sickn...

THE BAD:
It keeeps you playing for too long.Like Years and Years and Years.You need to have a very powerful computer to play this at its best.The Loading screen takes too long and yu are left waiting for ten minutes.

SUMMARY:
You can make yourself and see what you might look like in like forty years or twenty years.This is actually quite a good game but i dunno its too addictive.Well at least it is better than the Sims 1,except you cant get any expansion packs for it.


Overall this is quite a good game but it takes too long to load.

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.
