It's not really a game, but... it's fun in a weird way

User Rating: 8.3 | The Sims (DVD) PC
I had 20 something dollars in my hand and it was a choice of elder scrolls III or this, and well... i thought the best selling game for the pc can't be bad right? Well i was partially right. This game hasn't aged so nicely and it's surprising that it's price was once around 40. Some of the game's odd quirks will be funny for a few minutes and then they will start to get annoying fast. Like the simspeak that drove me insane! Even real monotone dialogue would have been better. Music is pretty nice, especially w/ the piano, guitar, radio feature. Little secrets are hidden all over the game but you'll find it all eventually by yourself. If you like to invest time in a sims neighborhood, this game will be altogether more fun. You can use many themes for houses and neighborhoods and even names to spice up things. The only complaint i have is the lack of noncaucasian faces that don't suck... the clothes are all splendid, but yeah there is a problem w/ ethnic facial diversity.
