Best Sims GBA Game!

I have all for Sims GBA games, Bustin' Out, Urbz, Sims 2, and Sims 2 pets. But Urbz is definitly the best by far. It is the most easiest to understand because the neighborhood is so little, unlike Bustin' Out where it takes forever to get around. Also the goals are easy if you know what you are doing. There is nothing bad about this game. So about this game, you work at King Tower and your boss sold it to Daddy Bigbucks. Daddy Bigbucks is rich and is planning to turn Miniapolis, what the town is called, into his own. You are not happy about this because you lost your job. And, your friend, Kris Thistle, accendently locks everyone inside the building. So YOU have to go get the keys from Daddy Bigbuck's office and break out. Well you get caught and go to jail when it was all Kris's fault. In fact, in this game, you are always in trouble because you do things other people ask you to do, but its ok. So, there are three sections of the neighborhood, but once Detective D. Mann lets you out, you can only go to one part where you have to buy one of the two houses available. Well, you have to complete a lot of goals and then you can get to the next neighborhood, and you do more goals to get the the final neighborhood. Well some of these goals are pretty wacky. One makes you end up in a swamp with too weirdos and one of them turns into a vampire. Another goal gets you a motorcylce. And one goal makes you on a TV show insulting people. It sounds weird, but along with that, it is fun. But, you have to take care of the Sim you make or, you will be at the doctor's the whole time and that is not fun. So, I hope you enjoy this game because it is worth it!

great game

This game is really fun and keeps you on your toes. My only problem was, I had to go to a hint site to be able to progress in the game. I am an adult and totally love it.

The Urbz is by far my favorite sims game, for the gameboy version at least. I own all of the gameboy sims games and this one is the one I end up playing most. Your only a janitor, struggling to survive in Minneopolis. Sounds pretty weird, I know, but its tons of fun! I couldn't put this game down, and my grandparents got pretty annoyed with me. But if your looking for a great game to play this is a good one. The music is good which actually makes you want to keep the volume up. I don't have any complaints for this game. 5 stars and tons of fun. A bit of advice though, if you buy it, make sure you get your popularity up while your playing. Otherwise you'll have to get it up all at once which gets boring. You'll know what I'm talking about once you buy it. So what're you still reading this for? GO BUY IT! HURRY! ITS FUN!

Best/ Easiest Sims game!

This is by far the best sims game I have ever played. It is much easier to handle than the computer games and there are tons of minigames so you never get bored. You can create your own character, change clothes from day to day and customize your home. It's Great!

This game is very addicting I brought it for my nintendo ds that can also play Game boy advance games in it. I could play this game all day because it is really fun. the object of the game is to have your sim completed a bunch of different missions. This is a a fun game if you are a sims fan like me.

Kinda complicated if your not a Sims veteran.

I've played Sims Bustin' Out, Sims2 and The Urbz: Sims in the City, and Urbz is definitely my favorite. If you've played Bustin' Out and enjoyed it, you'll enjoy this game even more (there are actually references to Bustin' Out in this game; i.e. Uncle Heyseed calls you to let you know the chicken miss you). It is like Bustin' Out in that you complete missions to unlock jobs (don't you wish you could earn money for these kinds of jobs in real life) where you can earn Simoleons and open up new areas of the game by completing missions or achieving promotions in certain jobs. You also get to move to different houses or apartments like in Bustin' Out. Urbz, however, is bigger and better. There are more places to go including taking a paddleboat to islands or the swamps of the bayou. You also have more freedom in that you can live in a variety of places and in any part of town you want. You're not forced to move to a certain house like in Bustin' Out.

Another aspect of this game that makes it an improvement from Bustin' Out are rep groups. There are four rep groups (Nerdies, Steeties, Artsies, and Richies) with four members each. You start out in one of the rep groups based on an answer you give to a question at the beginning of the game, but you can change your rep group. You earn rep group points by building your popularity with rep group members, having negative popularity with the rep leader of the rival group, finding a trophy for the rep group and giving it to the leader, completing the rep group missions, moving to a certain part of town, etc. Once achieving levels 9 and 10 with a rep group, you receive gifts, and keys to their clubhouse. The best gift is the Sensory Deprivation Chamber given by Luthor, leader of the Richies. You get inside and it maxes all your personal needs levels, including sleep, without speeding up the time. The disappointments are the clubhouses. It's neat the see how they're decorated but nothing happens there. The other rep group members do not hang out there, so what's the point?

Once you are at level 9 or 10 with your rep, you beginning walking like your rep group. When I first saw my character walking like a Richie, I literally laughed out loud. The other rep group members react differently to you as well. Another addition to this game are Xizzle beads you can get from characters for gaining a certain level of popularity or can find. You can use them to buy certain things like the slowing of the decline of certain personal needs, Simoleons, popularity boosts, etc. I ended up with way more beads than there are things to buy. You have to hook the game up to another game to unlock more Xizzles as well as travelling to the moon.

The things you can buy are also really cool like a skydiving machine. Most of the jobs are very fun, too. The easiest is the basketball game, Hoopz. My favorite was Doctor Max Stat, which is kind of like word search only using body parts. The most difficult game, to me, was Comic Explosion. You have to tell jokes on a stage and avoid tomatoes being thrown at you constantly. It took me along time to achieve the highest promotion in that game. There is also an underlying storyline. You have to stop Daddy Bigbucks from buying the city and charging residents for using all the shops and facilities as if it were an amusement park. He gets his comeuppance, big time! At the end you can use a time machine to check out prehistoric times, the American Civil War, a video game from the early 1980s, and even Bustin' Out (although you can't really do anything in those places).

good game

this is a pretty good game. it is fun and has many characters and the graphics are nice for a GBA game (face it GBA is not known for its graphics) anyway u start the game as an unkwown janitor who works his way up to popularity. the point of the game is to save the city from daddy big bucks from destroying it! after you beat it does not have much replay value. but for $[...] what the heck.... overall good game well worth the money
