"This is a new type of gaming...."

I know people are gonna hate me for giving this game a score over 5, but I am one of the few who actually enjoyed this game. Most play for a while, then consider it boring and return it. Not me. Ive had it seince it came out. I like it.

You start out, and create your Sim. boy or girl, and thier name comes first. You can custimize their clothes, the girls no longer have to wear only skirts. The girls have a wider selection of clothes, as do the boys. Another new feature is the coloration varations of skintone, hair, clothes, and shoes. One of the best features is Asperation. You can choose to be a Friendly sim, an Imtimidating sim, or a Romantic sim. You can change this later on.

After your finished, the director, daddy bigbucks, is talking about a hit new TV seiries you would be starring in. Such joy....

Gameplay- 8/10
I'd give this an 8/10. You have to unlock episodes, and within each episode are, like in the previous sims games, goals you need to complete.Each episode has a theme, some deal with funny lookin aleins, some deal with finding something, or maybe dinosaur bones (WTF!!!). Basically there are 3 seasons of shows, and you can do them in any order. After you complete and episode, you get ratings. You can spend ratings on maybe a house set OR even a motorcycle! You can also spend them on sets such as "weirdness" to unlock a while new episode that was unplayable before.

Replay Value- 4/10
Meh. the only replay valuse is more ratings, or just because. Not much.

cast- 10/10!
You have a wide selection of people to chat with, some of them who were in all three games! And you have some origional characters, like Jimmy "the Neck". you also have ledgendary characters, like Bigfoot,Yeti, and the Mole King.
A couple Characters are even in the PC game, like Tank Grunt and that guy standing behind the counter at the pawn shop!

Overall- 8/10
BEWARE the 8/10 on this game. Its uniqe, its enchanting, its...its....The sims 2!
