The PS2 version of the Sims is not only multiplayer, but competitive multiplayer.

You have set tasks to do (get as many friends as possible, clean a room, etc) and you both control one character. Whoever completes the task better in the set time-limit wins.

can you interact with ur rival in this new Sims MP? Like messing with his alarm clock to make him late for work, making a mess in his room so he has to spend time cleaning it, insult him so that his social meter goes down if he can't make a proper comeback.... Just watching two guys play the game independently and stacking up scores to see who wins is kinda lame.

Adding competitive multiplayer games are fine, but I find Multiplay games such as bowling for example, boring cause theres no interaction between the rivalry...

Well I guess I can try throwing shoes at my friend the next time we go bowling. That should be interesting.

To be honest I only played two rounds of the game ever. I'm not seeing that girl anymore so its not like I'll be playing it again soon to check either.

Mmmm. Bowling. Or golf. or track and field. or Speed skating or figure skating. Or skiing. Or gymnastics. Or archery. Or target shooting.

Not to mention trying to get the earliest possible launch in Civ2, once one of the more intense competitions on Poly.

Amazing how much competitiveness is tossed out with this standard. There are plenty of ways to be competitive, I guess.

This in my opinion, is what seperates sports from athletics.

In sports like football, tennis, baseball, and whatnot, each team has an opportunity to screw with the other team. In strict athletic competitions, like sprinting, or the shot put or whatever, it's simply people competing with their own natural physical limitations.

I think I'm on my way to doing so.

In order to add more time to your game, you have to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Also, playing the keyboard is a good way to get stuff like snoozes. Just sequence the tones from low to high.

I never had a manual for that game. Only now am I making any kind of progress. lol.

In Reply to Game Cliches:

FPS: Being able to "run" while at 1% health. lol.

RPG: "This is immensely important to me and without it I will certainly die. Of course I'm perfectly healthy and able to move. Please take this note next door and save my life or I will die!"

STRATEGY: Gas? We don't need no stinkin gas! Logistics (the most important aspect of warfare) is rarely addressed.

ditto.

I long for the say that an RPG has no rats in it.

Perhaps that is what made KOTOR so good. No rats in it

in BG1 the rats were just a joke, a reference to the gaming cliche I suppose, IIRC.

in the first expnasion- shadows of undrendtide there are some rats at the very beginning. no rats in the original though that I can think of. And none in Hordes of the underdark.

Game clichés! It's the acronyms that are becoming clichéd. (See post above for details)

I mean: MMORPG. How are you supposed to pronounce that? Why can't people just call them ordinary things?
