The Sims Bustin' Out

"Let's see, put the golden sink over there... no, wait, over there..."

Title Revision: Let's see, put the golden sink over there... no, wait, over there...

Now, first of all, let me just say this... THIS GAME ROCKS! Now, on to the review.

Many a time, a game has come along with sleek graphics, good controls, impeccable sounds, but it just had NO guts. I've hit a lot of games that match that description.

But, every once in a while, a game like this comes along and completely blows you out of the water. This game, well, it will knock you ten days fom Sunday!

History of the Sims
The Sims have had many great games, such as Livin' Large (PC) and Makin' Magic (PC) that were more than worthy of the title "The Sims". But, many flops have also occurred on the list, such as SimEarth, and Sim Golf. Mediocre, but not close enough. And, being the No. 1 selling game in the world, that could put a few blemishes on the record.

Luckily enough, there are games that are atonements for those games, such as Sims Online and Sims Superstar. And this game is no exception.

Graphics: If you've ever played the Sims on the PC, you would know that the graphics are kind of blocky and fuzzy. And one major thing (Well, two, actually) was that their mouths and fingers did not move. But, in this game, both of those problems are fixed. Driving in the cars in this game would make your mouth water. When they talk, eat, sleep, p()()p, everything looks realistic. 10/10.

Gameplay: If the above statements were not enough, then you better listen up in this part. Gameplay is just like real life. You get a job, get married, have kids, soup up your rides and dens, you know, just the normal life. But there are some things that are a little too emphatic. Like whenever you deprive your Sim of a toilet for too long, he'll start whining, and if you continue to ignore him, he'll go wherever he's standing, his hygiene will go down all the way, and he'll be very discomforted.

But, there are some cool things. You can buy golden sinks, seashell beds, tiki temples, the works. This game is divine. 10/10.

Replay: This game has indefinete replay value, as your Sims just keep living, and you can keep adding people to your neighborhood, as long as there are enough lots to keep them. 10/10.

Final Score: 10/10. This is a definite buy to all of you who are looking for a good time. Well, why are you still staring at the computer? Go, buy it, now!!! Bye. Go. Now. Oh, fine, keep rotting your brains. Not my decision.
