The Sims came out in 2000,actually in the last day of 2000 so it may have easily been 2001.Anyway this game is probably one of the most popular games of all time and has sold more than 100 million copies.That means that the game has to be pretty good.It's sort of hard and at the same time very easy to describe what Sims is all about.You create your own Sim,which is the human counterpart in this game,you buy a lot,build a house how you want it to be,you buy furniture for your house and start your life.You can build a family with up to a number of sims and make them do what you want.You have to send them to the toilet,get them to take showers,socialize with other sims and also going to work.As difficult and complex at this may sound it actually is much more easy to do.The game is pretty deep when it comes to building your house and sim and even when you start your "social" life.But even so the game is easy to pick up thanks to it's great interface.For a game like Sims graphics and sound effects aren't that important,but the feeling and the complexity of the actions you have to do.Even so the game looks pretty good,everything is in 3D and the sims really look pretty expressive sometimes.Besides that houses and objects within the house and outside it look really good.
As you start the game you have many choices on how you want to play.You can play with an already created family or create one of your own.You have plenty of choices on how do you want your sim to look like you cane also choose social skills and his star sign,which will affect his life.
Basically in this game you control virtual people and have to take care of them and make them do what they would do in real life.It may sound a little weird ,but for many people out there without a good social life this game is a good friend.Studies has shown that this game has made lonely people more happy.So if you're lonely there,consider playing this game.

My Score 9.2
