I've been playing this game for a week and a few days now. It's just as addictive as Busting Out (GBA) was, but it's pretty much the same game, plus or minus a few minor things. Rep points are a strange thing, and I've found that they don't really contribute to gameplay. A few of the challenges are harder than they were in Busting Out, and I've also found that your Urb will continue to fulfill motives even after the bar is full.

It isn't a bad game, but I was expecting more.

If you liked Bustin Out for GBA, You'll LOVE the Urbz

The Sims are back, with a new and edgy attitude and environment. No more farm for you, you wake up with a thankless job in the big city and it's your goal to make it big. You can choose from four "groups": Arties, Nerdies, Richies or Streeties, but you can be friends with all of the groups and complete all the group missions too.
What's best about this game are the fun characters, original settings, and approachable missions. There are few new elements such as woodcarving and baking too. The "jobs" are really fun minipuzzles, and the Xixxles (perks such as lower hunger or more money for jobs) make the game more interesting, without having to use codes/cheating.
This game is obviously restricted in that it's a GAMEBOY, not a gamecube or a computer, so the limitless possibilities of the Sims are not going to be here, but if you are goal oriented, like puzzles, and enjoyed Bustin Out, you will love this game!

I played this game after "Sim's Bustin' Out" which I also loved, because they are a lot alike. This one is just cooler, and has better graphics and a great plot. The original Sim's games have been updated in these to make goal oriented game play, so it's much more interesting. It's really fun, they've come up with a great little game here, one that I am sorry I have won, because I miss it. Now, the manufacturer's review (above) does not seem to correspond with the GBA version, as I don't remember anything about fireworks, or sushi bars, those jobs are not in this game, or perhaps this version, so that's a little misleading, but this game is nonetheless so much fun. I loved it. At first I found it hard in the game to make money, then after taking "classes" at the University I built up the creativity level, then made a ton of money painting and carving wood then selling the art at the local thrift store. If you like graphic adventures, this is a game for you. I think the creators could make so many more Sim's games like this and I'd play every one, if they stick to what's working here.

Just not quite the Sims...

The Sims Bustin' Out on GBA was a fresh, new idea. But this is the exact same thing except for a different city, more people, and more objects. There is absoulutely NO open ended gameplay in this game. Don't buy this looking for the Sims...
