For people who ARE fans of the Sims only, or rent it first

User Rating: 8.8 | The Sims 2 PS2
It isn't that all of a bad game if you already like the Sims. If not, i'd stay away or atleast rent it before you buy it. I am not really impressed with the Sims 2 character creation thing on the consoles, it really isn't great. I found it hard to make a themed character, like i always try to make a goth character cause otherwise they always look like preps, and it was hard. The controls are basic, meaning good and not hard. Graphics are also good, but if your like me you don't care in the first place. The game itself is fun, but it takes a while to get into. I rented it the first time for 2 days and played it once. A friend rented it and said it took time for him to get to like it, so i rented it again. I made sure i played it a lot and didn't stop, it did infact get fun. I got this cool house that hangs over a cliff. I did a lot of cooking and finding new recipes. Just make sure you are a fan before you try it.
