Pros Rich Graphics, Detail, Sound, Hours of Gameplay
Cons Slow load times.
Recommended it? Yes

From time to time, we all here the phrase, "There's no need to reinvent the wheel!" or "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." Apparently Maxis, thinks outside the box, and beyond the norm and has decided to reinvent it's hit game "The Sims" with it's new offering "The Sims 2".
