Review
In a nutshell:
The second expansion pack for
The Sims 2 makes the Sims’ pleasure your leisure. It adds in a special new neighbourhood called Downtown, packed to the gills with restaurants, bowling alleys, shops, parks, karaoke bars and clubs. You can visit them alone, go in a group, or take that special Sim out for a dream date.
The lowdown:
Whether you’re trying to organise a romantic date for two or a boisterous girls night out, your time spent in Downtown is constantly being appraised: commit one faux pas too many, and the timer will run out and you’ll be left with a deflated Sim and an inflated drinks bills. Your Sim can now scope out a room to check for compatible partners, while other more random additions include a new "pleasure life" aspiration, cars, garages and, rather oddly, vampires.
Most exciting moment:
Engineering the perfect date and getting an extra use out of your new car. Ooh, and indeed, er.
Since you ask:
Not counting online title World of WarCraft, The Sims 2 is the best selling PC game in the world ever.
The bottom line:
Another generously stacked expansion pack for your little computer people.
