I recent;y bought this game and because i was stupid enough to not buy a memory card big enough i couldn't turn it off. I basically beat this game in 12 hours al together.

Pros: Has a good 2 player feature
Nice Music
Fun sometimes

Cons: VERY LONG LOADING TIMES
very short game
not a lot of sim to sim interaction
no freeplay
small districts
short storyline
Not a lot of "things to own"

All in all i Don't recommend buying this game. Renting sure!

Eeeehhh.........

This game was fun in the beginning. The music is awesome (I wish I could find those songs!) I love the Black Eyed Peas. But the game is.....so.....short. I was upset after I finished it. It's like "THAT'S IT?? That can't be all that's to this game". I seriously think Maxis could have done a better job than that. I wish I was smart at the time to rent the game,but I was so eager to play another sim game. I expected this game to have sims live more urban or street like than that. Like I heard in previous reviews, they don't have the "attitude" like Maxis was talking about. Don't get me wrong though. Go RENT it. It's fun, just don't expect anything after you beat it in about 3 days. And I heard they are trying to improve it by making an Urbz sequel........Hmmmmmmmmm

A good addition to Sim fans collection

in this game you create a character, like any sims game, but the twist is that they have a quirky new city inspired style. the point of the game is to go to different cities, meet new people, and do some strange but funny jobs to gain money and points. in each city you have to dress according to what the style is for that city, if you don't you can't get into parties and the residents won't trust you. the music in this game is really good. i found myself bopping my head to the music. the graphics are good, too. they are colorful and fun. there are a lot of objects and cool clothes you can buy in each city. i like this game a lot. and i recommend it to all Sims fans. it is one of the best.

Urbz review

Many of you are saying this game is not worth buying because it is short, but I've been playing it straight for 6 days, so I guess Im just slow. Urbz: Sims in the city is actually alot more fun than I expected it to be. My friend and I rented it first when we realized that it is strangely addictive. The only slightly bad part is that it takes a simi-long time to load and loading is frequent. It's also kind of hard to keep up with the Sims' needs, but all of the Sims games are like that. I think its great how you can have piercings and tatoos. I like it the most though, because you can be someone your not and actually become popular (yeah so Im a looser, give me a break)If you're looking for a fun, addicting game, then Urbz is a great choice

I waited all summer to go to my friend's house for a sleepover so we could play this game all night. Do you know what we did?

We played it until 2 AM.

We didn't finish; we thought we should go to bed. But that just shows how darn addictive this is! Some people say that changing piece by piece for every district is boring, but I think it's fun, especially when you've never been there! We never beat the game, but I had an awesome time at the sleepover. Anyways, here is my scale:

Clothes choices, going to___|___Short gameplay, loading ti-
work with your sims, play-__|___mes, that rapper dude who
ing head-to-head, socials,__|___doesn't like any sort of
regular sims addiction______|___social
----------------------------------------

Hmm... Looks about equal. Well, I'd say to rent it, see if you like it, and if you like it enough, buy it.

Deserves an one

I should have given it an one but there were sleek and sharp graphics. But guess what? This game is so friggin boring. You press some buttons to get money! You don't even have to retrieve anything! How fun! Which ones to click? A B Y X? This game is. C-R-A-P. Poor poor little maxis, making games that we don't like lately. Get a hint and use what we actually want, not your little "urban and stylish" ideas. Sims 2 gamecube was HORRIBLE. Urbz was DEPRESSING. The sims bustin out was BLAH. See? Games that we don't like lately. Poor maxis.

One of the reasons this game S-U-C-K-S is. You just walk around in a city doing nothing except for talking to people to raise your reputation points. And guess what? That is boring. E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y boring. Because it's like interacting with the toilet. You just see some movements and stars. Boredom.
Or you can work. YAY! WHICH BUTTONS TO CLICK?! A B Y X? How fun. More like how D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-N-G. What happened to you, maxis? Retards. We want C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N and N-E-I-G-H-B-O-R-H-O-O-D-S! And T-W-O S-T-O-R-Y houses! I think Maxis is going to eventually start inventing games where you DON'T get to build the sims at all. Sorry, Maxis. At least it was fun for a while!

And P.S. the spelled out words were for any people from maxis who might see this. Because, Maxis.. You obviously are NOT G-E-T-T-I-N-G it.

wow this is such a great game

this game has its cons and pros but mostly pros. it has awsome fashions and i love the you get leave your house! the fashions are a liitle over 13 but i so dont care! the music is really nice and doesnt get annoying! the length is short and that makes it a con but youll have fun while you still can! the gameplay plot and replay is amazing. this is my 3rd time playing it and its so fun! the age dosnt matter because there is no mature sexual themes. maybe a little language and the striped clothes but other than that its great!!!!!!

good game

i was waiting for the urbs to come out for a long time. i bought it for ps2 and it was sooo much fun, but after i played it my ps2 stopped working so i rented it for gamecube and it wasn't as exciting, so i suggest if you have a working ps2 get it for that its better.

Well. It's cool. So far I got to Blankwood towers & had almost ALL The districts.But I can't save it :( I need a bigger chip. It takes 107 blocks of memory!But to tell you it's addictive.

HINTS:
Hold The L button to stop time( but you hvae to KEEP holding)!
Hold(and keep holding) the R button to speed UP time!

There are LOTS of cahrectors that you can interact with.

MORE HINTS:
If the thing when you hit A on some1 is red DON'T DO IT!
If it's yellow then IT's OK but you shoyuldn'y unless it's gossip or talking.
If it's green. Then OH YEAH DO IT!

this game is great your sims can have tattos and piercings and tons of other stuff it rocks i bet Pisoscure is green with envy cause she/he cant make a game like this. dont believe everything Pisoscure said it does have its ups and downs but if she/he wants a game with wants get sims 2 it rocks to they have wants and fears they can die of age, retire and have you child inherrit money and your house. so Pisoscure your entitled to a opinion but so am i and i say maxis kicks %$#
