    If You already own the Sims 2 then don't buy this game. But if your looking to get into the sims, I highly recomend it.

    I got the sims 2 for PC for a birthday present in 2005. About a year later the game suffer from... well, let's just say mistreatment, and that games which are broken in two don't tend to work so well. Anyway, I bought th... Read Full Review

    Its OK.

    The Sims 2 Holiday Edition is just another version of the Sims 2. You should only get it if you don't own The Sims 2. It adds a couple of new items but its still the same game. Instead of getting this, you can get happy ... Read Full Review

    Most The Sims 2 games are good value for money. This is not.

    Most of the expansion packs for the Sims 2 give you vast improvements in gameplay. This does not, it is merely a collection of new items and a few interactions that are not worth the £10. This is pure milkage by EA, si... Read Full Review

    For a dedicated Sims2 fan...but for anyone else?

    I see Sims 2 Holiday Pack as a mini-mini-mini-mini expansion pack. It does not add any new game play features to the Sims 2 just some holiday related items for you to play about with. For a dedicated Sims 2 fan who wan... Read Full Review

    A big ol' present for the sims

    The sims are having a holiday. In this expansion pack there is less than the others and may not be enough to please the hardcore fans. Gameplay wise all there really is, is the 150+ holiday themed items, christmas, hallo... Read Full Review
