So, your car’s broken down, you have no idea when it’ll be fixed, and you’re stuck in a remote town. You decide to get a job as a hotel manager?!Sims 2 is an exiting game where you take the role of Strangeville’s hotel manager, keeping out the bad guys and zapping aliens with a water pistol. Am I still sane? I like this game because you can put nearly anything into the hotel – casinos, secret goverment bases… ANYTHING!! Snogging all the girls is fun too!!

Graphically, The Sims 2 is more detailed than The Sims and allows players to view its world in full 3D. Unlike earlier Sim games, such as simcity 2000, which used fixed resolutions, the camera in The Sims 2 allows the player to play the game from many angles. Sims themselves are much more intricately detailed than they were in The Sims. In The Sims, Sims are 3D meshes, but The Sims 2 introduces far more detail in mesh quality, texture quality, and animation capability. A Sim’s facial features are customizable and unique, and Sims can smile, frown, and blink. The player can adjust, for example, a Sim’s nose to be very large or very small in The Sims 2′s Create-a-Sim. Texturing is still achieved through use of Raster images , though it appears more lifelike.

RATING: 55%
