This game is very solid and really ups the ante from the original sims games. I give sims 2 a 9 in gameplay due to the fact that pc's that just meet the requirements to play the game experience quite a bit of lag. Other then that the gameplay is remarkable, you’re sims are at your mercy. The downloadable content not only makes a better gaming experience but, it also lets you be creative. Compared to the original sims games the graphics have improved a lot, I'll leave this one short and simple, it gets a 9. Sound gets a solid 10 because you can add in your own music, plus the default music and sounds fit well. I say that if you love to be in control of people lives, or just want to have plain old fun buy this game now.
