The Sims was the signature game that put EA on the gaming map, it was an instant world hit, and got people even more interested in simulation games. The sequel was AWESOME, and another best seller, with new 3d graphics, and a whole lot more personalization and customization. I have played the Sims for hours on end, and, as soon as I got the money, I got the Sims 2 double deluxe, and, after much thinking, Open For Business. I think that it is one of the best expansion packs, because sure, if you want, you can send your sim to work, waiting for a while until he/she gets back, or you can OWN AND MANAGE A TOP-SELLING STORE, RESTAURANT, and more! You can even hire employees, set individual outfits, set them to different positions, hire one to manager, or, when you get fed up with them, you can fire them and set them out on the streets on their butts! What is really cool is that, as you get higher levels/rep for your business, you can get things called "Business Perks," which can help you sell, or get to know the customers better. For example, you can get "Dazzle," where you can talk to a potential customer, and either get them all hyped up about the product, which makes them buy it, or makes them look at you strangely.You can even visit other businesses for services or products, too! This expansion pack has all the realistic features and customization of an actual business. The bottom line: a highly fun and addictive expansion.
