Summary
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it does!!
The Good
The original Sims title had plenty of extras that could have been put in, so I'm glad that Maxis have put some work into an excellent expansion pak for my current favourite PC game. One of the key elements in this game is the larger neighborhood, which allows you to create 50 families in total, which comes as an advantage for not only the lastability of the series, but easier playability (more friends to make, more to work with, more to destroy!!). The fact that there is so much more to do then what was available before makes this a very worth while purchase, especially the Genie!!
The Bad
The only thing that is missing, in my mind, is a Car!! I suspect that in the near future, Maxis will eventually develop this into the sequel, and I hope that they do add that trusty Garage. No home is complete with out one!! And how about a selection of different cars to drive. Imagine having your own Ferrari, or Dodge Viper sitting in the car port. Now that would be fun. And maybe owning your own business would add some more fun to the game too. You could call the sequel "Sims in the City"!!
The Bottom Line
If you have The Sims, and are looking to revive your Sims career, this is worth buying. Then again, if you are yet to play the original, buy both. Trust me, it's worth it.
