I can't stand The Sims, it is so boring that I would rather take a Math class in school. I understand that a lot of people are into these types of games, but come on, does it really deserve to go over Super Metroid, a TRUE video game? Metroid didn't get enough representation in this tournament to begin with, Super Metroid is the only one to make it in, do we really want to end the franchise's run in the tourny this early?
Super Metroid has it all, great music, graphics, and gameplay. It's one of those games that never gets old because there are dozens of different ways to play through the game. You want a challenge? Fine, you can ignore most of the power-ups in the game. You want to blaze through the game easily? You can do that too, there are quite a few upgrades you can get earlier than the game makes you believe(this is called sequence breaking).
In The Sims you play somebody's life, don't most of us play video games to take a break from life? That's why I don't understand the appeal of The Sims.
Vote for Super Metroid!
