The Sims 2 University allows players to explore a whole new stage of life as young adults and introduces college-related wants and fears that are ultimately tied to their Sims' social life and academic goals. Join a secret society, pledge a sorority or fraternity, or even join a band and see if your Sims will become the big Sim on campus. The Sims 2 University also introduces influence gameplay allowing players to earn influence points to have other Sims do certain tasks for them such as homework, term papers, cleaning up the fraternity house or even pulling pranks on other Sims. Players will be able to choose from one of 11 majors and open up 4 new career paths while exploring new campus locations such as college lounges, pool halls, gyms and coffee houses.
"We've wanted to give our players the opportunity to experience University life for a long time, going back to expansion packs for The Sims," said Tim LeTourneau, Senior Producer at Electronic Arts. "With The Sims 2 players can take their Sims thru a lifetime, and with The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack players are finally able to take their Sims through this new young adult lifestyle and immerse them into the fun college years."
The Sims 2 University will ship under the EA GAMES(TM) brand and is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB. The game will be in stores on March 1 in North America and starting March 11 in Europe. The Sims 2 is required to play The Sims 2 University.
