It started with my son telling me about the game. Then he showed me. Then I played.
...for hoooours ...and forgot to go to bed.
It's fun. From creating your character, through completing your goals. Have them clean up after themselves, or get a maid. Decorate your home, or completely reorganize it. Chat with your friends on the phone, visit them, throw a party or even ignore them. No matter how old you are, you'll find it entertaining.

Parents!
If you're tired of explaining your kids why they have to clean up after themselves, and how annoying it is when you have to ask them a 100 times, get this game! :o)

This game is flat out lame..

I have never played a SIMS game before and although I like the idea of being able to 'create' a character and have that character 'live freely' this game fell way short. I spent all my time telling my SIM to go to the bathroom, eat, sleep, and watch TV. Its not even close to real life and is just plain tedious, stupid, and absolutely no fun. To do the things you have to do to move forward because they arent fun you have to spend two days just getting ready and making sure you are green. 8 hours of play and I was still struggling to eat, sleep, watch tv, shower, and socialize. Staying green was damn near impossible to do and still complete your missions. Anyone thinking that this game is great has a mental problem. Perhaps I should go play the game again so I can pick up trash in the kitchen, or for real fun, work out, or even sleep. Then I can take a dump 4 times a day so I dont get upset and spend 2 hours having a dinner.

This game sucks except for those people trying to actually live their lives vicariously through these SIMS. Unfortunately I spend too much time doing ridiculous tasks over and over again to even enjoy my character.

Addictive, addictive, addictive

I think this is an awesome game! This was actually the first Sims game I have ever played, and from the moment I turned it on I was hooked. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about playing a game where all you do is eat, sleep, talk, go to work, etc, but as soon as I started playing I couldn't manage to tear myself away. The graphics are well done, you get to visit many different places, and there are many interesting characters to interact with. I do wish that they had bigger outfit selections, and more options and ways to "detail" or "create" your sim, though. And for some reason, right when I was about to beat the game there was some sort of glitch that wouldn't let me finish it, but other than those two things I had a lot of fun playing, and have played it more than once. Great fun!

Great But There Is Still Room For Improvement!

This is a great game but of course there is still room for improvement. First, I was hoping for the ability to make an upstairs portion of a house. Not that this is vital but it would've been nice. Though I must say that the single player or "bustin' out" portion of the game is more fun than it was on the first sims console game even though it's basically the same thing. The animation and graphics of the xbox truly make this game more of a pleasure to play. Damn those pixels! I would've been great if you had the option of removing the pixels for when the sims are nude.

Bustin out a good review

Great, in depth game, though the goals get repetative and a little strange, i played for hours, more than the 30 mins. required to make a review for most games.

Best Xbox Game Ever!

This game is incrediable. The graphics [are great]. All the new stuff you can do,sim customizing. This game is 5 stars all the way. This game is by far the best sim game out their. I know because I have five of the computer ones. And after playing the first sims game for xbox I know the second one is only going to be 2x the more fun and intertaining.So buy this game.

And in the words of a sim: This whoaw is fredishay.

YES

Its the best in the whole entire world i loved it so much i bought three of them, so if i lost one i could still have one to play or something like. I ate one and it tasted good.

It's a great game but there's just one problem!

This is a very very addictive game!
Warning don't buy this game if you want to live a normal life.
The sound is excellent the social interactions and interface is excellent the job tittle are great I mean it's truly a good game for those who are into Simulations. The only problem with the game is that to advance in your career you have to gain points, for example say if you choice to be a mad scientist then you have to play chess to get your logic meter up to the points required in order to get promoted. Now this would be okay except you are required to make friends also!? I chose the movie star career path and to be a Movie Mongrul i need to mantain 10 friendships and gain points in chrisma and work out and manage my other things such as sleep, fun and social. This combination makes the game rather annoying and tedious. What's even worse these friendships they decrease over time! I think I'm going to write Maxis about this in the hope that they create a patch.
My other concern is what's with all the lock stuff!!! I want to play the Sims not have to try to beat it to unlock all the crap that shouldn't be locked!! Whoever's idea this was should slap himself! Everyone at Maxis should! BECAUSE THIS MAKE THE GAME ANNOYING INSTEAD OF FUN! I hate it when game companies do this! WTF! it's like Maxis's was like lets lock everything! That will really drag the game on and on by making you play all the career paths! For this alone I took one star away! Thanks Maxis for making me waste my time having to unlock half the F**king game!
Here is a tip: when you first start the game your living with your mother While your living there Your energy meter doesn't decrease past half. Plus you don't need a job to support yourself. So what i did was increase all my stats to Ten it takes at least 2 1/2 hours but that's the only way your gonna be able to beat the game because then all you will have to do is mantain those annoying friendships.

Ok this game is a game that any age will like.Beacause it is funn and sorda educational.Its basicly about a sim crated by you and you have to make sure he is socialy healthy,has good hygene ,isnt bored,slept enough ,has a clean enviorment(not important,and that has used the toilet,and is not hungry.
The Graphics -I would give 2 stars
Audio-could be better all you here is cars passing bye or screams could of been done better i give it 0 stars.
Game Play-The gameplay is excelent You pretty much do what ever you want.You can visit friends,gossip,eventuly have kids,work out,pretty much shape this sim into the deepest creation from the pits of your mind,or what ever the heck your like.So I give the game play for the Sims Bustin Out 3 STARS.
Overall a great game for young and old.
