  • Summary: If the world was a blank canvas, how would you fill it in? Create a cast of characters and tell your own stories in The Sims 2. Create Sims, give them personalities, and directly control every move they make. Then customize their world, building their homes, creating their food, and designing their fashions. Help them in their careers and aspirations as they build a network of friends and avoid their enemies. Enjoy the peaks of pleasure and the trials of pain in your Sims' lives. Immerse yourself in a world created, customized, and controlled by you. Develop a master plan for your Sim's social life, career, and pathway to greatness...or live in chaos! Genuine console controls let you directly control every move your Sims make. Create thousands of your own food recipes and clothing designs from items you acquire throughout your Sims' world.

Experience endless possibilities! There's a surprise around every corner ... and in the couch ... and on the toilet.

    Every bit as addictive and charming as "The Sims" ever were. Degg-degg! [Dec 2005, p.91]

    It may not be as deep as the PC version but compared to most console games, this one is a bottomless pit.

    You'll notice such things removed from the game as the ability to create a child Sim, while new things like a partially locked catalogue and cooperative play were added.

    I like the game it's so cool and my friend has the same one that's what made me bought it because it was so cool. But after I look at all these zero's on this website is just weird. I keep on trying to get a baby LOL but i can't but I saw my friend do it!! :( Unfair! Still I think the game is cool even though you can't have stairs or kids ( but i still could ROFL ) it's still really great. I'm so excited for the sims 3 game I think it's gonna be awesome.… Expand
