The Sims 2

Truly, the Sims 2 is probably the best game to have ever been made. The possibilities for game play are infinite, and it never ends. It's not like the usual VG where once you complete all the levels, you're done, that's where the story ends, and there's no more to say...Here, every family has its own story, which you create. (Although the maxis made families have their own background...but you decide where to head.) Truth be told, it's got its nice share of glitches, which can get extremely annoying...but with patience and intelligence you can learn to work your way around it till the maxis people come out with a patch.

The graphics are incredible...some talented sim makers can make sims look so much like their real-life counterpart, you'd think it was an actual picture of them.

Downloading...that definitely adds a lot, for although the maxis people have worked their hardest to make the game play grand and enjoyable, they certainly lack it in the creativity department as far as fashion and personal appearance goes...so it's a good thing we have the option to download things...and believe me, I don't stop...hehe The expansion packs certainly add to it, and Maxis has a way of making each one a vital necessity (although I've never heard of a non-vital necessity...xD) Overall, I think this game is definitely worth your money :) ~Ange Doré~
