Electronic Arts The Sims Bustin' Out

Create, and live an alterlate life

Strengths: This opens up the game alot, good graphics, connects to the GBA.

Weakness: The game really never has you connect with characters so much, its really more of an adventure game set in the sims universe.

The game has all of the good features of its PC and PS2 cousins. I have played the first game and this plays pretty much the same as that ones does. This adds 16 new locations and thats about it. The situations are pretty out there, but its a good detour from the standard 'neighborhood' only play.

The Sim's Bustin' Out

Strengths: An overall improvement over the first console Sims incarnation

Weakness: Not a huge change from previous title, and newer ones have been released since this one

The first console Sims game was objective-based, and this version is no different. The challenge is to guide your Sim from life at his (or her) parent's house to becoming a millionaire in one of seven career paths. As in all Sims games you must manage the character's eating, sleeping, and socializing habits. The game will prompt you when you need to achieve certain goals to advance your career....

Just another Sims game

Strengths: The sims getting out of their house

Weakness: Other than the strength it's the Same game.

If you like love the Sims, you'll love this game. It gives the fans of the series on consoles something extra to do. But if you have a PC, just stick with that version. This doesn't look as good, and doesn't play the same. Okay for 19.99 and under.

Yet another virtual dollhouse simulator update from...

Strengths: Console sequel to the original Sims, "bust out" of your home, more customization options, GBA connectivity, graphics upgraded, improved audio

Weakness: Requires 161 blocks of memory, more of an expansion than a true sequel, ramped up difficulty halfway through

The Sims game series has hit just about every major system out now, including the current systems. Now, fans can enjoy an expansion to the original Sims game that lets you leave your home and actually move up in the world. The graphics and sound have been upgraded ever so slightly, and the Gamecube release includes GBA connectivity that allows you to play mini-games on your GBA. Still, Bustin'...

The Sims Bustin'Out

Strengths: Fun, connects to GBA, sound

Weakness: Controls, needs large save space

The Sims Bustin'Out is a fun small step for The Sims world. The graphics are decent and the sound is good. The controls are tough, when you play on a console over a PC. Collecting items is cool, since there is a large amount of them. Keep in mind this is a "expansion" of The Sims, not a sequel. Overall this a fun game and worth buying at the right price.

Just So So

Strengths: Connection with GBA

Weakness: Almost nothing new. Graphic not that good.

I remember those days when the very first title came out of SIMS, and it was such a sensational game. But too many version on various platforms were released, and this is one of those version. Nothing new if you've played the series so far. Only GBA connection feature is good.
