I think this is a great game. It has a wide variety of missions, a big world to walk arund (well run around), a lot of characters, lots of mini games/jobs, lots of items to collect/unlock etc.

My only complaint is the motives or needs the character has. Although i realy like the game Sims on PC, i have always hated how quickly they get hungry, tired, need shower, use the bathroom etc. It seems like it's worse with this game. I tried to get this cool device (i forgot its name) from the "Richies" that fills all your motives at once and after that the game was much more fun. If i hadn't had that device, i think i'd have stopped playing it without bothering to finish the game.

Highly recommended.

never get sick of this

fast delivery. I never get sick of this game. I own it for nintendo Ds, game boy advanced, and ps2. It's great for each one and is different for each system too. There are always things to do and the game is different each time you play depending on you social group. Awesome game.

Another Great Sims Game!

First of all let me say this...I'm a huge Sims fan. So I was excited when I found this for my DS since I had just gotten the DS and had never seen this Sims game for it. I purchased it right away and have been in Sims heaven! LOL It's a great game (very addicting!) and I've really enjoyed it. If you are a Sims lover like I am, I recommend you get this game.

The Urbz: Sims in the City for the Nintendo DS was very fun to play. I have played the various versions of The Urbz for Game Boy and Game Cube. I would have to say that this version is my favorite by far.

Very Fun Sims Game

This is definitely one of my favorite DS games. In "The Urbz: Sims in the City", your character, with help from various other characters, tries to save the city from an evil man named Daddy Bigbucks.

The good things about the game:
1) The missions are fun and challenging. Some don't take much figuring out while others take time.
2) There are many characters and each have their own interests and it doesn't matter whether they are in the same rep. group (richies, artsies, etc.), they don't always agree on the same subject.
3) You get to buy furniture and decorate your character's house any way you want. As far as I know, as long as it fits you can put as much furniture as you want in the house.
4) It's fun to walk around the city and explore the various shops and places when you first discover them.
5) You can create a pet when you unlock the feature and it can follow you around everywhere.
6) Saving and loading is quick and easy.

One not-so-good thing about the game:
In the beginning, the character is constantly in need of something whether it's food, rest, tv, etc. This makes it hard to complete missions quickly, especially if you need a certain level of skill.

I really enjoyed playing this game and every once in a while I play it again. Great game!

After buying it for my DS, I disappoint that the only language that handles is English, unlike the The Sims 2 DS that detects the origin of the DS and selects the language in automatic form. I had to sell it in auctions by Internet to buy the version to me of the Gameboy Advanced

I got this game the same time I got my DS. It was a little boring because if you peed on the ground you would go to jail. you hve to buy everything. you would pass out if you dont eat food. over all it was a fritty fun game.

sims meets rpg

The Sims Urbz is a game that combines the features of the Sims(everyday
living obligations) plus the Rpg games of the 80s(Think of Kings Quest). It is set in a NYC type of environment. Your mission, whatever group you choose, is to foil the plans of Daddy Big Bucks.

What I like:
1. You can save your progress.
2. Unlike the other simulation games that use the DS platform (think Nintendogs), if you want to lay off for a few days, fine; you can pick up where you left off. There is no dehydrated and starving Sim to worry about.
3. It has a Kings Quest format. I enjoyed that game on PC.

What I didn't like:
1. The instruction manual is not complete. There is nothing about saving the game or placing an item in your living quarters,for instance. I had to figure this out through trial and error.
2. Unlike Sims 2 for DS you cannot play with another DSer.
3. Does everybody have to use inner city lingo?

Seriously, I played this and this only untill I beat it.

This game is very fun, has good sound, and I played this and this only untill I beat it! This game is much more fun than the new Sims 2 for Nintendo Ds, but the graphics in the Urbz are nothing compared to the Sims 2 DS Edition. This game is almost exactly the same as its gameboy edition, but with one new place - Splicer Island! On Splicer Island, you can create your own pets (Like unicorns and Apes), and play 2 new mini-games. At the end, (SPOILER) There is a time machine that lets you go back to a place in The Sims Bustin Out for GBA (in simvalley) . But...you can only go to one place in simvalley, you can't talk to anybody, and the onlything you can do is steal a chicken. So yeah, I got jipped on that part after going to a cheat site and seeing it say that it was ALL of the simvalley when it actually was just a farm. (END SPOILER) This game rocked out loud, so you should get it ASAP and if you don't have a Nintendo DS, just get it for the GBA. This game is a Must-Have.
