The upcoming sequel to what is reportedly the most successful computer game of all time is also one of the most highly anticipated games on any platform. Why? Probably because it promises to improve on pretty much every aspect of the breakthrough hit that preceded it. Not only will The Sims 2 have an overhauled graphics engine, but it will also feature an overhauled house-building engine that lets you build out huge homes for your little computer people.

And the little computer people will have plenty of all-new abilities and features. Your sims will be able to get married and have babies, as before, but those babies will be able to grow to full adulthood, get married, have children of their own, grow old, and even die of old age. Fortunately, death is something that can be staved off using the all-new aspirations system, which gives individual sims specific life goals based on their personalities--maybe their goal in life is to get married and settle down, or maybe it's to have many, many, many girlfriends. Whatever the case, aspirations (and their opposites, personal fears) will serve as yet another way to guide you through your sims' development...if you want. Like the first game, The Sims 2 will offer a remarkable variety of things to do, like designing a new home, designing the look of your sims using the all-new editor, designing a neighborhood using SimCity 4, or just creating a sim family and letting them run amok. If what we've seen is any indication, The Sims 2 will offer plenty of weird, wacky enjoyment for hardcore fans and casual players alike.
