5 out of 5 - Outstanding!!! Spin Magazine, 1999
The "Real World" Gone Digital! Will Wright's new game doesn't involve creating streets and shopping malls. The Sims is a home simulator. Players have the ability to manipulate not just the house but the people that live in it. Fill your home with high-tech appliances, create the perfect neighborhood, and watch your family grow to be the next Bradys. Or starve them of social interaction and stimulation and watch them smack the earwax out of each other. Realistic! Check out Spin magazine at a news stand or visit www.spin.com.
