There are a lot of different ways to look at it and play it. I enjoyed it for a while but became frustrated at how hard it was to juggle relationships, bathroom breaks, and sleep time in order to get to the top of the corporate food chain. But over the last few weeks, I finally discovered something, partly due to a lot of the improvements made over the first game. From the neighborhood view, the player selects one lot to play, as in The Sims. There are both residential and community lots, but Sims can only live in residential lots.
Sims can travel to Community lots in order to purchase things like clothing and magazines, and to interact with NPCs and townies. This feature was only included in this game.
The player can choose between playing a pre-made inhabited lot, moving a household into an unoccupied pre-built lot, or constructing a building on an empty lot.
One novelty from The Sims is foundations. Buy and build mode cannot be accessed when on a community lot, but can be opened by using the neighborhood view. It is also possible to import neighborhood terrains from SimCity 4. The game contains some time-bound social challenges that provide a reward if successful. Sims can throw parties to gain aspiration points or invite the headmaster over for dinner in order to enroll their children in private school.
Some expansion packs have new mini-games, like running a Greek house in University or dating in Nightlife. The visuals of the game are much improved from the first game. The only negative that I really have about the visuals is that sometimes the children and grandchildren can just look the same.
I do feel they could have done a bit more to make offspring look like they are related, but not at the expense of just all looking exactly the same. The soundtrack is what you would expect from a game in this series.
I would not say that The Sims 2 has the greatest soundtrack I have ever listened too. However, they have made it very easy to add your own music to the game if you want so that is always an option. The overall sound effects of the game are great and when a Sim talks, freaks out, gets embarrassed, or anything like that it always makes me smile.
As this is a game that I played a great deal during my college years with a girl that would become my wife. The Sims 2 is a game that has a lot of nostalgia for me, I fired the game up recently to see if it held up and I had a lot of fun. Yes, the newer games in the series have greatly expanded upon what is on offer here.
However, this is still a really fun time and well worth taking a look at. How do you go about creating a sequel to the biggest-selling PC game franchise of all time? A game that has single-handedly bucked the demographic of PC gaming, embracing the casual player while alienating the hardcore?
It's a tricky proposition, but there's little sign of panic at the Maxis office, half an hour outside San Francisco. With the walls adorned with artwork from Sim titles down the years employees beaver away in their individual cubes, emerging only to chow down on a quality selection of food and beverages.
It's almost like a slightly less surreal version of the game. Sim Sims anyone? Top Sim is of course Will Wright, the man who started it all. Among other things, this has earned him an office with a view, outside of which sits an impressively comprehensive shrine to Elvis Presley. Having sold 24 million copies, he's probably not that worried Will, not Elvis , but he is aware of how The Sims is perceived. New issues running the game. Mainly starting.
