 The Sims
Maxis have bounced backed onto the simulation scene with The Sims, probably the best 'life
sim' produced. Maxis were started about 20-30 years ago when Will Wright had a dream
of where you could run a city and control the actions of people. In The Sims, you control the
people in your cities. Build their houses, buy their furniture and live their lives.
The gameplay is amazing, the interface of the
game is astounding, and it is split into
5 control areas: Live, Buy, Build, Camera and Settings.
In Buy you can purchase items for your Sims from fire alarms to hot tubs. In build you
can build your sims homes, whilst the camera option lets you take pictures of your sims.
The graphics and sound are a bit primitive using polygon technology instead of 3D
software rendering, but its nice touches makes it an all round good game.
