Actually, this sequel seems kind of interesting to me. I didn't like Sims I very much. I found myself calling people over and walling them into the house to raise my kill count(counted by the number of graves). When I got about 30 graves, I got fed up. I can really show evil intentions this time!

If this article is true(Liquidgeneration says nothing to me), then I think I'll get this game.
