4Another Sims game to feed your Sims addiction!  Jul 20, 2007
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!

5Great Variation on Sims  Jun 01, 2007
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.

4A good addition to Sim fans collection  Jan 24, 2007
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.
