I didn’t expect to like The Sims, but I did.

User Rating: 8 | The Sims (DVD) PC
By gamegoldies | Review Date:
Pros:
Highly addictive.
Completely novel game concept.
Fun to mess with your Sims minds.

Cons:
It doesn’t stay interesting long enough.
You have to enjoy micromanagement.
Sims exhibit questionable behavior when left to themselves.

I spent the larger part of a weekend entirely engrossed in the game. The trouble is that after that initial honeymoon period my attention wandered. So despite all the fun I had marrying my Sims off, rising to the top of my chosen career and picking fights with the slovenly neighbors, I couldn’t give The Sims our highest rating. It just doesn’t stay fun long enough. In the end Max
is did a remarkable job making the mundane little tasks of life into an entertaining game, but the subject matter just didn’t hold my attention for the long term.
