This game is perhaps one of the best games ever created. So after getting my copy I was eager to start playing right away. I started making my family (of course using my own family as a template), played it and was just overwhelmed with all the choices you have, and what you can do. It's just amazing all the little details you will find in the game.
But before I continue, you might as well read the reviews that are up over at IGN and Gamespy, or maybe the review of it over at Gamespot. This is not a review, but more of a showing of what I've found out with the game.
All in all, the experience I've had with it (since sunday morning) have been all above my expectations of the game. I was so surprised of it, that I've actually been playing it for 10-14 hours a day, which is a lot. But after playing the "good" little sims for two days, I decided to check out the "darker" side of it. Which lead me to create Jason Bates, serial killer. It took some time making the house in which Bates lives his life. It's very Victorian, very old. It has a "secret" basement, where mr. Bates keeps his victims. The Batesment (I just had to) is a fully functional living space. His victims are behind a "fence". Which actually makes them wander around until their death.
So this was the first week of Bates' new life in a small town. What will the next week bring? Nobody knows...
So that was my little "sick" approach to The Sims 2, it's very fun seeing this work, cause it only shows the freedom that Maxis has made the game follow. There are no "goals" or "victories", only "hurdles" which you yourself choice to do or not. I find it amazing just watching them do what they do without interfeering at all.
