The Urbz: Sims in the City (DS)

I had played a few other Sims games but this is the first I have played for the DS and I am quite impressed with it. First of all you create your Sim by choosing their gender, the look of their face, their skin colour, hair colour, hair style and their clothing. You also give them a name and then you answer a few questions which will help decide which rep group you will work to be part of, the Streeties, the Nerdies, the Artsies or the Richies. After you have done this the game starts with you losing your job as a cleaner and as you try to get it back by talking to, big meany, Daddy Bigbucks you get arrested!! You then have to try and talk your way ...  Read the complete review

I first bought this game about two years back.having been impressed with the PS2 version, I thought it would be the same, just for a handheld console. Not the case at all. You start off with a create an urb option. Like the Sims, you create the character to look however you want.

Sims Urbz is a fantastic game in my opinion (but you will have to play for yourself to find that one out). The music is really interesting, and even though I have completed it, I still go on it and make more money. Moogoo Monkey is not the easiest game but Red Man Incante is a fabulous game. And if you have ever wanted to operate on a garden gnome you can do that on this game! So play this if you want fun, cheats and ...  Read the complete review
