Well from my day or do of playing it, its not bad. I find it strange how many of us gamers like playing a game conciously about a person doing the exsact same stuff as what we do subconciously in real life and enjoy it. And i do enjoy this game.
Firstly the interface, HUD and graphics are vastly improved in the sence that the figures look exceptionally realistic and the household looks quite real indeed, perhaps not photo realistic yet like many of the new ElderScrolls caps look like but the game producers are finaly making an effort.
This time the customization of your own person is incredible, delving into everything and every feature upon your body, the size of your chin, eyes, nose, mouth to name but a few in every detail and proportion. Cloths is another thing you can change into about 30 different types of cloths and even change your appearence again if by looking in a mirror.
The items you can buy within the game to outfit your house is, in my opinion, cut down a great deal however, for intance there were several ways last time to upgrade your skill points but this time there are but 3 or 4, however to componsate for this there are a helluva lot more ways to keep your basic needs at bay, by using a phone to communicate with friends other than having to invite them around everytime you want to socialize or you can go to shops and malls without having to have a add on pack.
There are a few other things that annoy me greatly, having to grown up over a period of time and having to die wheathrer you want your character to or not. Your character goes thorugh 5 stades of growth and then he/she dies, now i know this is real life but it happends all to quickly in my book and you hard earned characters passing just happends to quickly.
These are just a few things i liked and didnt like about the game, Sims 2 is obviously better than sims 1 but not a apsaloutly brillient sequel, i was expected more groundbraking stuff rather than just a few upgrades...
7/10
