The Sims 2

It's easy to write off The Sims 2 as a soul-destroying virtual soap opera designed to turn the suggestible masses into mindless zombies while shoveling as much cash into EA's pockets as possible - but it's more than just that. How much more? Well let's ask our test subject Sim, Barry Test…

Incredible Maze

Set-up:
Just how clever are these Sims then? We investigated by building a giant maze and placing a toilet in the center of it, before commanding Barry Test to take a piss. Will Barry prove more intelligent than a mouse or a squid?

Outcome:
Without even pausing to consider the best way to tackle the labyrinth, Barry went straight in, marching up and down the corridors of the maze as if he'd done it a thousand times before. A previously unseen level of purpose and tenacious determination filled Barry, and within minutes he'd reached the toilet and pissed in it.

We think:
The Sims 2 contains some excellent pathfinding AI, good enough to help them find toilets in virtually any situation. Larger mazes left Barry unfazed - he simply knew where to go every time. We admit that we were ever so slightly amazed that Sims can solve mazes, but we doubt they can do crosswords and Sudoku.
