This could be a great game but time passes by very(too) fast in the game. Giving the sims a few assignments takes op their entire evening. If you're playing with just one Sim in the house the game works ok, with three Sims the game lacks, stops and perhaps goes out for a smoke. Not that i'm on an old system: PIV 2.8, extreme graphics 82845.

I just got this game and its a bit confusing but even the first sims was at first. The graphics are awsome and there are SO many more options.

It is a great game, i love it and would of given it a 10 if it had pets, i hope they enclude pets in the next expansion pack then i will be sure to give it a ten.

This is one of the best games i have played i ordered it on the release date and loved it since.

Incredible game! Maxis and EA have done it again. The first Sims was an overwhelming sucess, but the Sims2 has hit the mark. The only thing that could have made it better by my thought would be weather. Beyond that thought though, I love this game greatly. The amount of things availible to you in all categories is amazing. I don't think it really is possible for two people to have EXACTLY the same sim anymore. The new build tool ideas were really neat. Overall, I gave this game an 9, since it took me a while to find a few objects in the game.… Expand

Good.

I have never been so excited about anything in all of my life!!!

This game is the perfect game to a coparasent to real life in other words it is much like reality that is what makes this game so cool!!!!!

Addictive. maxis have kicked a goal by giving the sims aspirations, and all u wanna do is keep building the aspiration meter. still room for improvement. can't wait for the expansion pack. i like the fact u can be a teenager... i think there should be an R rated version.. hahaha.. u can incest.. but u can make twisted house holds... affairs are more fun.. easier to become friends with ppl. and also to "woohoo" or try for a baby this time.. its good, and just getting better!… Expand

This game is awesome! But i have some new ideas for a new Sims called Sims 3. My ideas are that when the women go into labor that you take them to the hospital and help them through the birth. You should add in there own cars. More electronic selections. Start out with more money than $20,000. Pets include like dogs cats turtles anything from Unleashed. You should really just combine all the sim games together with added items. Those are just some of my ideas. I think it would really be a number 1 seller in the united states. I already know a few people that would buy the game. Also have love beds that vibrate when they have sex. And dont blurr who cares people are going to find out anyways someday. You should just have the game be like a normal life. In the USA you should have them speak English not some language that we dont understand. These tips could really help a new game for Sims 3. Well i hope that you enjoyed my tips and that you consider using them for Sims 3. Thank you for your time.… Expand

i'm obsessed with this game. it seriously has like, mind controlling powers. i play it all day and stay up usually until 3 or 4 AM just playing. I LOVE IT. :-]

Lack of support or patch.

One of the best games I have ever played and certainly the longest lasting. This game as given me many years of great gaming and will probably continue to do so for a few more. Give a very simple gameplay mechanism but also alows for much deeper and more complex senarios for you to create which will please the deeper more experienced players aswell as those newer younger players. And with a huge custome content and modding community there is always something new to keep your game feeling fresh.… Expand

I love the Sims 2 I had it since I was 5 and I like how they die it funny. I will never ever lose that game. Somtimes it gets boring when i'm playing by myself but i get over because it is just so cool!

Look, if you're basing your review on the fact that the game doesn't work on your computer then... well... I mean, what the ****?!?! This is an excellent game, and there's nothing to that boost can make you feel better about yourself than creating the fugliest sim in existance and ruining his/her life. The sim gets fired from work, in debt, girlfriend died while fixing tv and standing in a puddle of water etc.)… Expand

AhhH! this game is so good u just want to squeeze it 2 death! luv it luv it luv it luv it! graphics are good, sound is good, making people are cool too! just make sure u have above the requirements for the game settings because we only just had the requirements and it ran rather slowly - but updte a few things and WA LAA! all is great!!!

I LOVE this game. Im addicted to it I have to confess. As much as I hate wanting to play it every seconed, I still love the game, its great!

The people who created this game are simply brilliant. WOW.

If you were (or still are) addicted to The Sims, then you'd best not buy The Sims 2. If you do, you may as well take any annual or long service leave you have now, then quit your job, and lock yourself away in the study. The Sims 2 is brilliant. It improves on the original in every facet that I've seen and adds a truckload more to keep you addicted. The look, the feel.. it really is like watching your own little Big Brother right there on your PC. Theres not much I want to go into to spoil the suprises in store for you, but I can say without a doubt that The Sims 2 is a contender for Game of The Year, and will most likely pick up where its predecessor left off as the best selling game of all time. A MUST buy for any fan of Sim/Tycoon games. … Expand

This game is AMAZING! The graphics, the interaction, the options, ALL OF IT. I don't know how you managed it, but you did and it's above and beyond what I would I anticipated.

This game comes as close to real life as you could get.

Love it.

Great game, sometimes it has a few glitches in it, but all in all, great game.

It is such a boring game. I wonder how can anyone enjoy such a game.

I love Sims 2. It is a very entertaining game, and very addictive. You promise yourself you'll only play for twenty minutes, and you play for two hours. Sooo much fun!

Much better than the first one. Great improvements. THis game is worth ur money. Good job EA Games.

So Boring.

OMG this is the awesomest game evur! but sumtimes i rn out of ideas and don't know what to do... mayb i should get university... but i still love this game!!!

It's the best game ever!! It is so addicting!!!

Wow! I haven't played this game yet but i've looked at pictures of it and heard all these great things about the game! It looks soo much fun. The only bad comment i've heard is the lack of speed and that it takes up a lot of memory. But who cares? If its such a fun game then who cares about how much memory it takes up!!!! I'm going to get the game soon so i've been looking to see how it is. I like the first one but the second one looks a heck a lot more better!!!! Keep up the good work and i give it a 10!… Expand

Great game.

I would have given it a 10 but, I miss the pets!!!!!

I love this game!!! I don't know what it is about playing a game where you tell people to go pee and eat that makes it so cool but I am addicted to it!

I luv the sims 2! The graphics are ace and there is sooo much to do. I'm a total sims addict i got the Sims 1 and all its expansions and I got The sims 2 and all its expansions, I'll be getting pets when it comes out. The sims has come along way in my eyes from the first one and i hope it continues. Also i wounnder if there will be a sims 3 like with all the sims to expansion packs already in the main game, and where your teens can get pregnant and you can have miscariges and go to hospitals and stuff. I think that would be really cool!… Expand

Excellent! This is the best game on PC ever. Love the expansion packs too. Great value for money.

I love this game. It can get a bit boring unless you keep things interesting yourself. If you just want to get your sims to churn out babies and grow old and die it won't be all that fun. Expansion packs, downloads and human intervention will keep the game fresh, fun and addictive. Lots to do and very very funny. Graphics are nice. Full 3D.

I really enjoy this game. It has good content and gives you a lot of options of what to do. It's only flaw in my opinion is that it takes up a lot of space on the computer and takes some time to load.

It's endless! I've has it for 2 years and I'm not bored yet!! With all of the expansion packs, they know what they are doing. I love doing whatever i want to them. Their life is in my hands... Bwahaha!!!

I love this freaking game!!!! One of the best games I have ever played ever. It runs painfully slow and takes up allot of space and lags some but OMG. I love it I play almost on my off days and rest days. I am in college and dude people come up to me asking what are you doing I say enjoying myself. I don't care what all you negative people say It my getaway spot.

Its a bit annoying that people grow up too fast, rather than that.. this games its worth the time.

This game is too cool!!!I'm playing the whole day non-stop!

I hate it... it really has bad graphics and the big speaker stereo thingy wouldnt click on next song...

Great game and lots of fun. However, unless you are a hard-core Sims fan, it won't hold your interest for more than a few months. Still, it is great fun and worth the $50 for a few months of fun. Future expansions like Sims University should breathe life back into it.

It is so kewl. I love it.

THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED OTHER THEN SIM 1. I HOPE THAT THE CREATERS CREATE A COOL EXSPANDSION PACK THAT GOES WITH THE SIMS 2 THAT WOULD BE GREAT, WITH WEATHER ,MORE OBJECTS, AND I NEW GREAT IDEA THAT WOULD MAKE IT GREAT. WELL THE GAME IS THE BEST.

Um yeah its okay i guess but u need a DVD CD DRIVE in order 2 use it......My computer is VERY fast but lacks the DVD drive thingy....i played it at my friends. I SO WISH I HAD A DVD DRIVE!!

Game kicks ass.Well done.Kind of made me mad, When I found out that it wasn't a add on.I spend alot of money for my neices to get all the sims for them. But its cool.The game was worth spending over 50.00 dollars on. Now I can get some work done while they are playing the game. Big thanks to the people who made Sims, made my life much easier.

What can I say?...Excellent. The animation on your sims are dramtic, slapstick, exaggerated so you always know what they are feeling - and at times tragic. Tons more ways for your sims to interact with each other. One qucik tip though...don't try to play the game "well" and have the perfect family - you will be missing out on the most amusing and endearing aspects of the game. By all means try the "good" approach...then create some wildly different sims, throw them in a house together, encourage their behaviour and watch the hilarity, chaos, tragedy unfold. Its The Sims, increased and improved almost beyond measure!! When you are playing it you aren't just "playing", you are living vicariously through your sims lives. Go on - indulge yourself in all the "what if..." scenarios you can think of!!… Expand

After playing the first Sims with all of the optional software included, I was at a stand-still with gameplay. I'd done it all... Not the case with Sims 2. There is so much I haven't even tried or even seen yet! I've played for hours (6 of them being spent just playing around with the building of the house!). Awesome game. Worth the wait! You have to get this game! Can';t wait for the additional software!… Expand

This game is just perfect!!! I do adore all the sims games but I think this is by far best than all the others. It's wonderful; the greatest game.

I guess if you have a fast, new, expensive computer this game is cool but Im disappointed. It runs painfully slow and takes up too many resources. The game itself looks to be all that it promised to be, but it doesn't play well so that means nothing.

Great Game. You can get for 40 at wal mart if your pc is not fast you might have 2 keep restarting to get back memory but it is great. Don't try playing if you have the min sys req.

This game is awesome even tho i have a weak pc i enjoy playing this game.

Loved the Sims 1, and I love The Sims 2. It would've gotten a 10 but I gave it a 9 because of the problem that I'm having placing things where I want them in buy and build mode. They bounce around all over the place and it takes up a lot of time getting anything placed. Can be quite aggravating! Other than that I love it, especiallly having the babies, they are oh so cute!

I'm so excited to get this game it looks sooooooo awesome. I am getting it for Christmas this year. And all ive been doing all day and after school is reading a bout it and printing screenshots. It looks so cool. But I can't belive someone would give it a zero!

Great game.

It's an awesome game. I can just sit and play for hours, whether thats good or bad i dont know? I would ave to say that the only flaw is that time goes by a little too fast.

It is an awesome game, I just wish that it ran faster.

10! I Love This Game!

IT was the best game ever i love how i get to rule lives.

It is cool.

Wow. This game is simply amazing. It's like the Sims +++

This is the best game and the expansion pack is even more exciting!! I understand why this is why its the best selling game in the world!

The game is great, but why can't i join the sims 2 club? i have code and all but it doesn't work! so that's for my vote is 9!!!!

I love this game, it great!!!!!!!!,i play it 10000000000 times a day i think if ever one in the world had the game the whole word will be happy!!!!!

All I have to say is this games is... toataly! wicked! awesome! super! kool! krazy! The MoSt wicked game ever!!-(i cried for 30min when i got it)

A really fun game it's jus the memory this game uses is rediculous! Changing views takes days.

This is a great game! i love the graphics and all the different things to choose from. One bad thing is it takes a little while to load. There are many different clothes, make-up, and objects! the music is great and I can't wait to get Sims 2 University!

Wow, it's really amazing. I was easily addicted to it.

This game is the best! I love this game soooo much because i can make myself. I LOVE THIS GAME!

I've been researching "The Sims 2" for a long time now and i'm sooo excited to get it this summer! I've been looking for cheats, videos and lots of ways to get your sim a good life. Once I get it the fun will begin!

This game is excellent! It's really a step up from the original 'The Sims' games and it's fun and highly addicting. It includes a lot of different socializing options and advanced details that aren't even needed. (That's a good thing!!!) With just a couple more things added to the game, it really could be a '10'.

This game is the best the only people who are dumb enought to give it less than 9 is because they are too ignorant to buy a faster computer and are screwing their selves over

I'm addicted to it!!

This game is excellent!!! Aside from a few slight glitches, which will definitely be worked out in future editions, I couldn't ask for a better game. I also agree with the person earlier that said that they grow up a little too fast.

It's an amazing addictive game. Young and old alike will enjoy it and have hours of delight. A great step up for the franchise.

I'd give it an 11 if I could. This game rocks. The visuals are amazing. And the generation concept is so cool, I almost felt like crying seeing my little toddler grow to be an adult. Other than some initially frustrating rotating issues, the entire gameplay is perfect.

I'd prefer if i had more cheats but thats just me being lazy! other than that it rocks well and truly!

The sims 2 is the best!!you have 3d graphics, weekends, holidays ,weather, DNA!!!

I love this game so much that I play it everyday!

I love this game! I loved the Sims but Sims II just has so many more options.

This game rocks out loud!!! I've never seen something so realistic!!!

I haven't played the first one. But playing number two tells me what all the hype was about. Amazing game :)

This has to be one of the best games I have ever played.

I have a blast with this game everytime I play it. I love spending time on the Sim Exgange aswell, getting new stuff for my sims.

Damit! this game is good! ! One of the best sim game! I

Better than the sims. Great!

This is the best game!! i love sims 2 if u play it you will fall in love with it..well at less i did!

The Sims 2 has superior graphics and has a lot more options then the original Sims.

OMG ITS SO FUNNNN i could just play it for ever and ever wifout sleeping!!!!

The Sims 2 is really great! So much better than the 1st! I just wish the sims could do a lot more... like get divorced without having to hate 1 another.. and a whole bunch more! But its steally really kewl!

I love IT!!!!!!!

It's so sweet!

I love IT!!!!!!!

Good.

I have only played it once and i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just got it and i still have to install it so that shows you how fun it is.

This game is great but it gets kinda hard sometimes!

This game is creative, fun, clever and addictive!! The only thing I would change is how quickly and drastically they age (there is a huge jump from adult to elder). Adding pets would be another suggestion. But other than that, A great game!
