The Urbz: Sims in the City

"...The Sims: Bustin' Out turned out to be a surprisingly addictive and engrossing simulation on the Game Boy Advance, and that theme has continued in its sequel. It's not enormously different than 2003's offering, but the developers took the time to lengthen the experience with more things to see, do, and play, and though much of the game remains identical in a newer setting, Urbz still offers plenty to keep Sims fans latching onto their Nintendo portable."

"The Urbz's mundane subject matter sometimes overwhelms the experience, but this adventure role-playing game nevertheless provides some surprising depth and lasting value."

"EA announced a new take on the Sims franchise called Urbz. Urbz will be the name of Sims living in an urban city location where they build cred, rep, and try to be the biggest player on the block. Urbz will be released this fall for Xbox, PS2, GC, and GBA."

"What's so great about this title is its "pick up and play" gameplay that's so easy to grasp, but still has enough depth to keep to coming back to test your skills raising your respectability."
