About this product

Product Information

The top computer game franchise continues to branch out onto other platforms, as it explores a new lifestyle in this spin-off title. Like the 2003 console versions of The Sims and The Sims Bustin' Out, The Urbz: Sims in the City uses the life simulation of the popular PC series as the basis for a role-playing game with a familiar, modern setting. Instead of the pastoral suburban neighborhoods of earlier games, however, The Urbz plays out in a fast-paced city where style and reputation are the keys to success.<br><br>Players can design their Urbz characters from scratch, choosing gender, appearance, and name; many additional customization options become available as rewards for reaching certain in-game goals. Each game revolves around the player's single character, as he or she finds a job, makes friends, and gains the cultural understanding required to be accepted as an insider in the city's various districts. Each of the city's districts is designed with a unique cultural style, from dangerous, seedy slums to snobby, high-society strips. <br><br>Shops in each area sell different items that can help the Urbz chase their goals and allow them to develop their own unique personalities, but in order to afford these things, they'll need to find a paying job. Unlike in earlier Sims games, players control their characters when they're at work, where they may gain new skills and abilities as well as a paycheck. <br><br>Most city areas also have clubs or other meeting places, but in order to fit in, the player's character will have to show respect for the locals and learn the social interactions they use. As Urbz become better acquainted with the particular styles and values of each area, their reputations increase, and they gain access to more locations, objects, and living arrangements. Ultimately, Urbz can develop a reputation that opens doors to the city's most luxurious penthouses, and wins them a friendly reception wherever they go.

    in love with the sims since year 2000

    I just got a wii so I can bring back all those old games I love including GameCube games and when I think about GameCube the sims urbz is number one on my list I love the fact that they made it more missions and game based than the normal sims with no rules or goals really. it's an actual game with different levels so that's what really interest me about this game particularly

    Another Sims game to feed your Sims addiction!

    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 ...

    My favorite game

    This is still my favorite game. Played it nearly ten years ago and fell in love. The nostalgia hits me perfectly in the feelings when I play it nowadays. I still hope they will create a new game similar to this one. I love just about everything about this game. They could do so much more with it now that they've created sims 3 and 4 since this one. And I'd buy it so fast.

    Entertaining enough for adults

    I've been a Sims fan for years. We just bought the Wii system and the games are still pretty expensive so I decided to buy some older game cube games. Graphics are decent and game doesn't take as long to load between scenes as Wii Games or the pc version. Glad I bought this as it's one of those games that doesn't have a lot of action but it's entertaining enough for those nights when there's nothing worth watching on tv.
