The Sims
...continued

The Sims is one of those rare games in which the sound effects actually outshine the graphics. Every action has a corresponding sound, whether it be the whacking of a knife against a cutting board, or the blaring of music from the stereo. The dialogue, which is made up of gibberish, is humorous, especially when your Sims are miserable and trying to get your attention.

Shiny, Happy Sim People

A few annoyances rear up from time to time, which detract a little from the game's charms. Your Sims don't always do what they're told, even when they're completely happy, and they can't perform multiple tasks, such as use the microwave and answer the phone at the same time. Additionally, there is only one neighborhood, and if you want to make more friends, you have to exit out to the neighborhood screen and introduce new people. It would also be nice if your Sims could walk over to a neighbor's house.

As with the SimCity games, The Sims is totally open-ended. Unless you do something truly horrible to your virtual characters--such as place them in a room without a door and starve them to death, or kill them in a house fire--they'll live forever. And because anything can happen and disaster can strike at any time (just as in the real world), the game offers tremendous replayability.

Adding to the game's replayability is the support offered by The Sims' Web site, where you can go to download new families and houses to incorporate into your neighborhood. Editors for faces and for wallpaper and flooring are also available online.

The Sims is a pretty bold experiment--after all, how do you get gamers to buy a game that reminds them of the mediocrity and triviality of their own lives? The experiment pays off because The Sims truly has something for all gamers, whether they want to create an artificial and shallow megastar, or cultivate the biggest slob the world has ever seen. This is one game that people will be talking about for a long time to come.
