Having got this game for Christmas years ago, I became completely
hooked and lived for the release of the expansion packs! Having
complete control over characters appearence, personalties,
accomodations and every aspect of their lives means that there are
endless possibilities and therefore endless hours to be wasted playing!
This becomes even more of the case when expansion packs are added, and
the amount of activites you can do are increased. Having now become a
faithful to Sims 2, I still think this game holds up pretty well. The
graphics may not be the best, and the camera angles somewhat limited,
but the essence of what makes the Sims so great is still very obvious.
The only real irritation with the game is the infuriating music, but
this is easily solved by adding your own mp3s to the soundtrack!
All in all, it's a great game, although there is the slight danger of becoming too addicted!
