""Killer Game!""

First of all, I would like to thank anyone reading this. This is my very first submission, so I'm pouring my heart into this. The Sims 2 is a game I'm obsessed with and I can't explain why! Without furthur ado, this is my scoring.

Graphics 7/10
For a non-portable game I would not accept, but for a DS game, these graphics are fairly good. It's in full 3-D which is the only thing that makes it better than Urbz. They look pixely, squarish (if that's a word), and boxy, but a Super Nintendo couldn't do any better. I am very upset that the creators didn't put more time into removing all those glitches in the game which was just shear laziness.

Formatting/Gameplay 8/10
Yes, the plotting is a little bizzarre, but I thought it was pretty amusing. I like having the sanity in one bundle because you can actually play the game. I haven't finished beating Urbz, partly because if my sanity is boosted on one thing, it's dragged down on another. So I don't have to shower every two seconds. I like how you can control your Sim rather then tapping the screen to get them over. Using real time has advantages and disadvantages- I find it annoying how you have to wait 8 hours for Tristen to build a room-not 8 minutes 8 solid hours. But Sim time really sucks up your day and you just can't buy any time. Creating-A-Sim had really advanced. All of the "in" hairstyles were available along with clothing. The selections varied from beach day to formal. They did a great job at making clothes without any brand names. You could even have choice of bathing suit and pajamas!

Music 10/10
Seriously other Sims 2 critics, why do you hate the music? EA tried so hard, and besides they don't want music to be in their area of expertise! I was quite fond of the Dusty Hogg Blues, and Strange Day. They're not going to make a song better than Fergielicious just for a little DS game.

All in all, I give this game an . The graphics where in full 3-D, the gameplay was fascinating, and they had plenty of music. If you take the advice from me, I'd say go buy it. Or don't. It won't be my fault if you don't like it but I think you will.
