The Urbz: Sims in the City (GBA)

I loved The Sims:Bustin’ Out on GBA so was looking forward to this game. There is a bigger area to explore (but restricted until you do the appropriate tasks), more interactions and some fun mini-games. The premise is that to be the hip Urb about town you must have strong relationships with as many other characters as you can to earn rep points and get Xizzle beads which can be exchanged for skills or mood enhancements. There are numerous levels with lots of goals to complete and often there are ones you can struggle on. The game is very multi-dimensional in that there are so many things you can do in one ‘urb day’ such as earn money, hone skills, find things, get up relationship scores etc that you run out of time to do everything. This is not a game for a quick dip in and out of, you can get sucked into it, which means I don’t play it as much as I would like, as I know I can’t spend hours at a time on it.
