It looks good, at least IMO. I won't be buying it though.

[edit]
here's some gameplay:

Never liked The Sims.

It's fun for about 3 hours at max then you realize "****...this is lame" so you try to play without cheat then you realize (Yet again) "****...this is lame" because it's tedious if you do it legit and gets boring quick if you use cheats to be a total pimp.

its fun for a couple of days.
then after grinding stats for jobs and shit, you notice that your sim has a life span, and that he is going to die.

then you're like **** it.

Loved the first Sims, second was okay, but I'd already played the first one so much that it felt pointless to play the same game just for the new features, and this didn't have Will Wright involved in the design process, so I'm prolly gonna avoid it.

There's a cheat that can turn the aging off in Sims 2, I believe.
I loved the first one, but after a while it all gets too repetitive and boring.

Just played it, was actually pretty kick ass. I made this house that looked so realistic it was maddening. Really really nice graphics.
