You have any screenshots?
I can't wait to play it, but I can't afford it 
Maybe my sister will get it for me, for a late birthday present in a few weeks when we visit

I enjoyed the orignal it was addictive. Too bad I'm broke. Far Cry is next on my list though, then Fable. So many games, so little money. lol

I've been waiting for it ever since I read about it online. I went out and bought it first thing when EB Games got it in yesterday. I'm addicted to it as I was the first one....lol...
The bad thing is that it really bogs down your system. With an overclocked Radeon 9800 Pro, Athlon XP @ 2.4ghz, and 1gb of RAM, it still lags quite a bit. I'm just happy that it's out now and I could buy it on one DVD instead of getting four-five CDs. | |

I just realized that if I disable SETI it doesn't lag. I've never had to turn SETI off for any other games or other things before....another one of the cons of The Sims 2 is that it doesn't like dual monitor setups...I have to go through the hassle of disabling the second monitor. I complained about it and am hoping that they might fix it. I doubt it though. | |
