Great Sims 2 base game, but.....

....since the Holiday Stuff pack came out, which includes the same plus even more holiday items, you'd be better off buying the regular Sims 2 base game and the Holiday Stuff pack rather than this.

However, if you don't want to spend the extra cash for the Holiday stuff pack and would be happy with only two-thirds the amount of holiday objects, then this would be the way to go to save some money.

Either way, the Sims 2 is SIMply awesome and well worth the money!! Just be sure your computer meets the game's system requirements before buying it, as it is highly 3-D graphics and memory intensive.

I've been playing Sims 2 for almost a year now and this is one game that you can really never tire of. Maxis is always coming out with new stuff add-ons and expansions to keep it interesting. I have all of the expansions and add-ons out so far and plan on getting all future releases, too. It's that fun!!!

~~~~Remember: This is a BASE GAME EDITION, exactly the same as the regular Sims 2 BASE GAME except with some extra holiday objects, and NOT an expansion!!~~~~

Later note: This review was written *prior* to the holiday 50% price cut.

outstanding - and great bargain

What a fun game! It's everything from the fist Sims plus better graphics and more customization.

Also, why would anyone buy the "regular" edition for $35 when this is includes the whole game plus some holiday stuff for $20? I thought it was a mistake at first.

The only annoying thing was that the CD key is printed on the back page of the manual. The install procedure tells you to look on the CD case. That was really irritating until I figured it out.

Not just for Christmas

Hey I got the Sims 2 Holiday Edition for my wife and I'm glad I did. First off the Holiday Stuff disk is totally separate so you can do whatever you want with it. It isn't just Christmas themed stuff either (though mostly). There is Halloween, Fourth of July, etc. If you don't own the Sims 2, you should get this one. It's like getting a free expansion disk right out of the box!!

Freakin Awesome

This game is seriously addicting. Make sure you set aside at least a few years for playing this game. Actually "3 years or more free time" should be in the system requirements.

so addicting

I was very happy with this purchase. As soon as I installed it I couldn't stop playing it. It is so much fun to make your Sim characters do whatever you want them to do. It's fun building their house and making them have kids and just everything. This game is so much fun and I think that everyone should play it. The graphics are awesome and it's a pretty easy game to play. I have no problems with it.

Does it?

Fantastic game. Sims 2 is more user friendly than #1. It is a overall great computer game and an excellent value. The Christmas avenue is a awsome bonus.

Great Value

The Sims 2 "holiday edition" is an excellent value, considering it's The Sims 2, plus a holiday expansion pack all for the same price (if not less than,) The Sims 2 alone.

Certainly a fun game. The game is fun, but doesn't have a lot of replay value for me, as there is only so much you can do without extra expansion packs. It's certainly fun and worth checking out, but can get a little old after a while.

Totally addictive!

The Sims are awesome...if you dont mind spending hours upon hours in front of the computer screen ordering simulated people around. I have purchased several of the expansion packs as well....cant wait for more!!
