Great Variation on Sims

If you like The Sims, there is a good chance you'll like this variation on that theme. I just thought I'd add that this GC version loads much faster than the PS2 version. I played the PS2 version originally, but after I let a family member borrow it and they returned it unplayably scratched, I bought it again, but on the GC, since I found out the oppressive load times are much less oppresive on the Gamecube.
I wrote another review at the PS2 one, which, at least for the first year or so, was pegged/stickied to the top.
its a good game

It's a great game, but when you get everything, you realize that there's nothing to do on it anymore. It's not even fun building realtionships, getting jobs, getting promoted, and winning Drius's penthouse. I RECOMMEND THE SIMS BUSTIN OUT IT IS THE SEXIEST GAMMA EVA
It just keeps getting better!

Have been a sims fan since the PC versions came out. I have the previous 2 console sims and love them. Cannot wait for the urban sims game. I believe it will meet and beat my expectations
Another Sims game to feed your Sims addiction!

Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: CRR
The first two titles in the series by EA Games are The Sims and The Sims Bustin' Out, but make way for number three, The Urbz: Sims in the city.
In The Urbz, you guide your Sim through life in nine very diverse culturally different districts, where you have to walk the walk and talk the talk. As in its two predecesors, in The Urbz, you have goals to achieve, bills to pay and promotions to obtain. The differences you'll find in this game are in the jobs you work and clothes you buy, which are district specific, and the other Sims you meet and interact with.
Another difference is that you have to build up your reputation. This is achieved by meeting and befriending as many different Sims as you can and learning their specific social interactions. At the start of the game, you must choose what district to start out in. By completing your goals and building your rep, you unlock other districts to visit and work in.
The main goal is to build yourself up to have the highest rep in the city, so that everyone wants to be your friend. This game is fun and simplistic without being too easy. Plus, after you beat it the first time, you can always go back and play as someone different, giving this game replay potential.
On a scale on 1-10, I give this game an 8.5. Sim-fans should not miss out on The Urbz!
A great rent, not a great buy.

This game is fun and addicting, despite the frequent load times you have to endure, but once you've completed all the goals there's not much interest in it anymore. I would definitely recommend renting because I had a blast playing it, but after two rentals I finished all the goals and was about ready to call it quits. I definitely would not recommend buying it.
Customizing your Urbz with outfits, tattoos, and piercings is fun, but be warned: every time you change districts, you have to change your outfit, and it has to be done piece by piece, reselecting all the colors, etc. This got a little annoying after a while.
