The Sims
Players: 1
Ages: All.
Console: Yer PC..
Well, we all knew Will Wright, creator of the best selling Sim City series and other Sim games, would dazzle us with his brilliance again, but when? How about today! The game, the Sims, is the first of it's kind. Sorta like a dollhouse, a cyber one that is. You get to raise a family, make the sims slack and eat only junkfood, or make them excersize a lot. The choices are quite amazing, but if you don't treat your Sims with respect, be warned, they won't treat you with it either.
And of course, your sims can get married, have kids, go to school, have jobs.. dollhouse lovers unite! If your Sims don't get enough food, they starve to death. After death, their money goes to the Sims left in the house and there is a funeral. An urn is placed on a table and you can morn them or throw them away even. Clumsy Sims can also die when trying to fix, lets say the Lawnmower. So it's best to make them call the gardener, maid or repairman.
Sad thing with this game is, like all of his games, you do have to work (really hard to even create a family that isn't doomed or bankrupt), and it's not envolving other people! I can only put up with artifical people for so long, even if the AI is great. The graphics were fine, I found myself wanting more in the game though. It did hold my interest for awhile, but I came crawling back to Dereth, so...
Bottomline: Great
game, for people who aren't social people and like to control people. Graphics
are good, AI is amazing, fun is fine.. but it's missing that hook, that makes
you play til 2 in the morn'.. ya know.. Like a certain game called.. *Smack
Head* I said I would stop comparing games to AC.. sorry!
Three Word Summery: Control
Freak Heaven.
Final Verdict:
***
outta ***** Stars.
