The Urbz: Sims in the City

THE BAD:

SUMMARY:
This game is about a Sim who has just moved to the city and wants to become rich maybe, but definitely famous. Your Sim basically wants to become an Urb. It does not have that classical Sims story, living in a house all the time spending all the time in the world in the same place, but you have the chance to travel in a massive city, only controlling one Sim, which is a first.

When you first arrive you manage to buy an apartment with 300 simoleans to spend on food. You already have 3 pieces of furniture in your inventory which you will find where it is in the game. As you first enter the game you pick which location you would like to start at and then throughout the game you will eventually unlock all the locations with new missions.

Jobs on the other hand are found at every location and as you get better you earn more money by doing harder levels. There are however a bed, toilets, vending machines, other sorts of...

THE GOOD:

Graphics, A.I and gameplay

THE BAD:
It takes a while to load, and there are not many things to buy...

SUMMARY:

Urbz features many new items from the PC versions of the Sims.
You create your own character and gain friends and reputation in amny parts of the city. Go to a VIP club, Tatoo parlor, and piercing parlor and many other hot spots. There are 9 different Jobs that you get throught the game. You must change your outfit to fit in and you gain new apartments, the more rep you get. You can gain a crew of as many as you want and control them!
Urbz has a 2-player mode and an EyeToy feature (of course you'll need an eyetoy) and has anolog contol and a vibration function. You'll also need to keep up your icons with bladder, hygeine, hunger, fun and enery factors. You can gain relations with other URbz in the city. The game is rated T for Teen for sexual themes and sexual humor and violence...

THE GOOD:
Cool A.I. when the Urb acts the way it is influenced by districts. New REP System. The Sim translation of some real songs.

THE BAD:
Could have been built on, just a little more. Could have better jobs. Maybe a little more linear progress.
You couldn't sneak into the Clubs!>! WTF!!

SUMMARY:
Make an Urb choose a district and hop into action. Interacting and talking isn't the only thing this Sim game has to offer. Let's have a party, break dance, travel through the city, get new apartments, have pets, and have your name and picture in lights. Your Urb has to make it from an average Urb to top Urb in the city. Cool new socials, new items called Power Socials, and your REP will get you into the highest position in the city. Use Power Socials to boost your REP higher than ever and make friends faster. There is a new interaction known as Join Crew, use this to take control of other Urbz, but they have the choice to either accept or...

THE GOOD:
I love the custumization with your appearance. Very enjoyable.

THE BAD:
The gameplay soon becomes immensly repetitive, and makes finishing the game more of a chore than a game.

SUMMARY:
...Not very long, but definitly a new concept.

THE GOOD:
The freedom you get is amazing just going about doing whatever job you want, whenever you want, and the fact that you acctually have to work for your money and your skill the reputation things good how you have to build it up if you want to move on through the game and finally they included pets in the ps2 version

THE BAD:
The reputation thing can get anoying when your trying to get into areas protected by bouncers and when your reputation takes a hit sometimes it can drop quite a bit (by 4 or 5 stars) which will really get on your nerves

SUMMARY:
This game is amazing in fact it's better than that. It had a lot more than I thought it had. I was especially excited when I found out that the black eyed peas had so much to do with the game, it had their music, the members and the lead singer your mate what more could you want... Well a lot but if they put in everything you wanted in the first game you wouldn't come back for the next...
