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>Each game revolves around the player's single character, as he or she 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 areas is designed with a distinctive cultural style. Shops and services in each area offer different items that can help the Urbz chase their goals and allow them to develop their own unique personalities.<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 to the locals and learn the social interactions they use. The handheld versions of the Urbz have players competing with a greedy boss character called Daddy Bigbucks, who wants to take over the city of "Miniopolis" and keep its best locations all to himself. If characters can develop a strong reputation, however, by meeting new people, visiting new locations, and even raising a custom pet, they'll be able to use their influence to keep the city a happy and rewarding place for all their friends.

  • The Urbz: Sims in the City (Nintendo DS, 2004)

    I'm a big fan of the sims franchise games. This has a fun story, silly characters and just all around is a good time. I appreciate it coming with the box as well though I think that DS games are pretty pricey considering they're going out the window soon with the switch maybe that's just me.

  • Great Deal, Good to be back!

    Really glad I got this and it was a great deal. The game plays exactly like I remember and looks better than I thought it would at this point haha. Really enjoyed this game a decade ago, glad to finally own it again.

  • Complete and in working order

    Game came complete, with a full case, manual and even the supplemental materials. Game itself is difficult, yet compelling. Overall a cute product of its time, plus a reminder of how The Sims used to play before EA took complete control.
