Bustin' Out Some Fun

First of all I think the fact you can move from house to house makes it alot more fun than The Sims. This game entertains you as well as teaches you a bit of reality, such as getting a job, or keeping the house clean. I think you sould be at least 10 & up to play this game because some sims kiss each other and sometimes, not something you ant to show to a young child. During this game you have to try to keep your motives up, get promoted, make friends, move out, and take over Malcom's mansion all in a days work. I own both The Sims and The Sims Bustin' Out, and The Sims Bustin' Out is much more fun. I highly recommend this game. You get lot's of fun for only a little price!

Really is a great game. Through out the game you build up your skills, unlock items, social skills, and money. There are a variety of houses, and not one of them boring. There is two parts to this game--bust out and freeplay. Under the sim number which you created your account(Sim 1, Sim 2, Sim 3 ect.) you can go into free play a build a house and family and use all the things that you unlocked. You can spend hours taking a default house (in bustin out)tear it down, and build one that suits you. Buy this game! Its very cheap and you will be pleased

2nd only to Halo

This is the best game ever (other than Halo)!!! I spent hours playing ths game. It will keep you entertained forever. Unlike other games, once you beat this, you can play free mode, or keep playing in Bustin Out mode. You will never want to put this game down!

Hours of addictive fun @_@

When "The Sims" first came out for Xbox, I really didn't like it compared to the computer version. But they have greatly improved with "Bustin Out". Better graphics, the characters are more fun to make, you get to leave the house and the 2 player mode that lets you actually play the game with someone else at the house that you make was a brilliant idea compared to the "completeing the tasks first" option of multiplaying in the first Sims game.

So yeah, this game will having you sitting in front of your tv screen for hours.

Great Game

This game is fun to play and watch! It is a step up from the first Sims and the extra options are great. You can work your way up in a career, find a new job and go back to your other career without losing your position. I like the different challenges in the different houses, it gives something extra to the game other than going to work and skill building. I havent' even played on the free play option yet. This game will be played for a long time to come. I have reccommended to several friends who are just as happy with it as I am. I great change from all the violent games out there!

Watching and playing, this is fun!

The first time I ever saw the Sims I thought it would be interesting, it is, but it is also cool! You get to design and name your own Sim and do make sure they do what they need to do. These jobs include going to the bathroom, eating, having fun, taking a bath, or just to sleep. You have to find a job and have to make a profit. This game is 1-2 player so you can have a friend over to play it with you.

Here are the GOOD THINGS about the Sims, Bustin' Out:

The theme- What's good about the theme is that you are taking control of a person. What he/she does, looks, and works at.

The people- Once a while you have to live with you mom, sometimes you live with a roommate called Mimi. Wherever you are, you are talking to the person that you live with, or you talk to them on the phone. Another reason why the people are good is because they are just hilarious. They are funny in their own special way.

The BAD THINGS for the Sims: Bustin' Out:

It's not for kids- If you notice at the cover, the game is rated teen, and it really is teen. When they go to the bathroom, they will block it, but still, you can see them going to the bathroom and taking a bath.

The controls- As I have said before, you can control how the person lives. But, sometimes it is very difficult. You have to highlight things just to make that person do it. It might come easy to some people, but it was hard for me.

The Sims: Bustin' Out is worth buying for $20. It is fun for most people and I am glad I bought it.

Addictive Entertainment

I have to say - I got the first Sims out on the Xbox a while ago and was not all that fussed on it - I only played it for about 20 min before I got frustrated with it cause I didn't understand what I had to do. I got out Bustin Out and that was the end of it - I ammm sooo addicted - I found myself rushing home from chores I had to do so my Sim could clean up or go to her job (how sad am I). It made an otherwise boring weekend entertaining.

Sims Bustin' Out is really good value for the price to buy it. First, I think some kids should be at least 10-11 to play. The reason is that some of the Sims' you create want to kiss with another Sim,not for the young eye to see.....if you parents know what I mean. Sims Bustin' Out does show kids a bit of reality, though, how you have to balance your schedule with cooking, cleaning the house and your Sim,your Job,and paying bills, etc. So I gave the educantional rating a 3, half n' half because of the romnace part. It is very durable and I think kids would enjoy playing it. I rate this toy 4 stars overall.

Awesome!

This game is great! There are so many options to customize your home and items to buy for it. I love being able to add swimming pools, hot tubs, and game tables. I also like the fact that you can create a whole family including children sims unlike Sims 2 where you cannot create children sims therefore no complete family. It's so cool though to create and build your own home and furnish it like your fantasy home. My wife loves to design homes so she created one and as best as possible created herself and me in the game as sim characters as well as created a little girl of which we one day hope to have for real. It's just plain ol good fun. And very addicting. It's so very easy to lose track of time while playing. I highly recommend this title.

Great Game

The Sims Bustin Out is a awsome game. Its alot like the first one except now you can go to many diffrent places like a club, gym,army base and many others. The free play is very fun and the get a life can get challenging. This game has also added a ton of new furnisher and other house things to the game like they have a train set a high dive and the sims can do flips off the high dive. You can also do new things like tell other sims to pull your finger or you can towel snap them. The only downside to this game is you cant drive the cars they just show the sims on the car driving. You also cant build two story houses like in the computer version. This is a GREAT game.
