© 2005 Electronic Arts, Inc.
The PC version of the Sims used to be the best, with the Console versions lagging behind in details and control. Not anymore. This sophisticated people simulator lets you create and control realistic people; but the best new feature is the simultaneous split-screen control option for two players. Other features include the ability to create a family tree, or make individuals with a variety of facial features, hairstyles and outfits. There's plenty of content, including 10,000 fashion styles and 16 locations, with 400 building options. Note that some of the themes are mature, involving dating, romance, and non-graphical physical relations such as hugging, kissing, dancing and so on. A story mode will bring your Sim in contact with as many as 60 story characters. If you liked the Sims 2 for Windows, you'll likely notice the same features, with more ease of use.
