We already posted about GameSpy's preview of the Sims 2 on consoles, TeamXbox has also posted a preview of the XBox version recently, after watching the game at EA's Hot Summer Night. In the preview, TeamXbox reveals the name of one of the areas: "Cliffside Retreat." Of all consoles it'll look the best on the XBox, which will get support for High-Definition graphics. About the Direct Control the website says it still feels great. It feels much more like a console game now. Also, the layering system for clothes is mentioned - you can give Sims three layers of clothes. This kind of customization is better than any other release in the series, says the editor, and some features might be taken over from the PC version. As you make new friends, you'll also unlock new clothes, similar to previous Sims games on the consoles. The food creation system is necessary to, besides feeding your Sim, complete some goals or make friendships with other Sims. Some combinations of ingredients might even be lethal, and the ghost of a Sim who eats such a meal will haunt the cook for it. All in all the conclusion is that this is the best Sims game ever on the consoles, as it has a better feel of a console game, and new features that aren't just "throw-ins." A video interview with Scot Amos about the game is expected later. Read the preview for details for now. Thanks to Planet The Sims for finding the link.
