The Sims 2 (Special DVD Edition)

The Good
The character creation is very customizable. The new AI can really help when taking care of your sims. Pretty graphics. Very fun gameplay. This game will suck you into hours and hours of fun, customization and keeping your sim alive. Doesn't lose the spirit of the old sim games.

The Bad
You need to constantly watch over your sim. Sometimes they can be very stupid. Obnoxious neighbors will come into your house, use your toilet and steal your freaking lawn gnomes! Takes quite a while to get to anything fun in the game, but when you do it's very enjoyable.

The Bottom Line
Gameplay: 4 out of 5 Very fun and Addicting. Lots of replay value. Graphics: 4 out of 5 Very pretty. Personal Slant: 4 out of 5 I love the sims games. Sound/Music: 5 out of 5 Great music in-game and you can even put your own mp3s into the game. Story/Presentation: 4 out of 5 You can make your own story! And the whole game is presented very well and is simple to navigate.
