The Sims was the best selling PC game of all time but even that game has shown signs of aging. So to avoid becoming a one hit wonder Maxis and EA Games are releasing The Sims 2! The official sequel to the smash hit original! Many people argue that The Sims 2 is just The Sims with better graphics but they are SO wrong! Here's what is featured in the game . . .
1) Your sims now have certain dreams and fears. If they accomplish too many fears they'll have a nervous breakdown.
2) However if they accomplish dreams they'll unlock items to make them happier or better skills to socialize.
3) If you have SimCity 4 installed you can build your own neighbourhoods for your sims to live in.
4) Your sims are a lot more intelligent. If someone near them smells they'll react. They also know who are family members.
5) Instead of just taking pictures of your sims like in the original you can actually make mini movies of them!
6) You finally have the ability to place windows and doors on diagonal walls! AT LAST!!!
7) You can build upto 4 storeys instead of the standard 2. You can also build sundecks, porches and attics.
8) There are now 6 stages of life. Baby, toddler, child, teen, adult and elderly person.
Like me many other fans of The Sims 2 have been waiting nearly a year for this game as it was constantly delayed from January to March to July to August. But the game is now only 2 weeks away and unless there is a gigantic storm there is no way the game will be delayed for it's September launch date.
However as the game is almost upon us some last minute details have been revealed. Your sims will not be hit by lighting in the jacuzzi like seen in many of the pictures, there isn't any rainy weather in the game as it was proving to be a hard problem to get it to work and finally you still can't build basements which is something many fans have been wanting for ages! But these tiny details won't really make any difference to the game's sure success and if you do find yourself getting a little bored with the game around Christmas don't fear cause the game's first expansion pack is due for release early 2005! The URBZ : Sims in the City is also available in November for the Xbox, PS2, GameCube and GameBoy Advance.
