YEAH! Another game for losers who have no freaking life. Im gonna play a game about life while sitting at my computer not having one. Get out of your freaking room and throw some water balloons at people. Thats kept me and my friends busy here at college lately.

This game will bomb. How many 2d to 3d converted games have been successful? How many people who actually play the sims have kickass computers? And just because it has the Sims branding doesn't mean it will be successful. What happened to SimsOnline? These guys are going to LOSE their target audience once again just as SimsOnline did.

One of those: Completely Addictive for a week, then sudden realization that you aren't having fun, just working and keeping busy, then putting it down. Pretty much like most sims games. Not that this isn't a bad thing, it's just a tad different.

Even though some may not like The Sims, it's hard not to admit that The Sims is one of the rare original games releases in the last years and it might be the only one of those original games which got a huge amount of players. The Sims is pure genious - no kidding - and it seems this sequel is only going to add to that.

I like the fact your Sims age and have a life cycle. Now I also hope they add weekends so you can get the stats of your Sims up and running again because the work takes too much time on a regular weekday to get that done.
