Home Sweet Home 2 is simply delightful. If you are a HGTV fan such as I am you will enjoy this game! This game takes the headache out of home design and makes if fun to explore your home decorating side.

The graphics are amazingly realistic and set up in believable and workable spaces that enable your imagination to take control. It employs a cast of unique characters and obstacles. The choices increase as you continue through the game with plenty of "unlockables" to test your creative flair.

The sound of the game is simple with a light music background as a soundtrack but it works with the ambiance of each scene. The little sound effects are a welcome addition to break up the tone of the background music. The good thing about the sound is that it isn't too overpowering like some games can be, it's just enough to engage you but it doesn't over power the player.

Getting the hang of this game is easy, it's quick to learn and you can get to the action right away. It also lets you test your problem solving skills by figuring out challenging solutions during the game play. It offers non-linear game play as well that lets you step out of the box at any time, this gives this game a real bonus feature. The game is presented in a unique manner that is sure to capture the gamer and designer at heart and if not it's still fun to just give it a try!

Playing the game is a welcome challenge and gives way to using those same skills around my own house. I wish designing my own home could be this easy! Home sweet home 2 is a great game for the budding designer in your family or if you just would like to test your skills at design! So go ahead and let your imagination soar with this game! Home Sweet Home 2 definitely gives enough bangs for the buck!
