nostalgia so strong it could kill you. i never beat this game

a minha porta de entrada pra minha série de joojs favorita de todos.

cutesy & fun but controlling sims is incredibly boring. i wish you could go to all the jobs with them, sitting in front of your console while your singular sim is sleeping or at work is very boring. less lag than the urbz on ps2 though!

This was one of the games I was never allowed to get at Blockbuster as a kid. I wish I was still allowed to not get it as an adult.


The level of improvement and increase in graphical fidelity from the first 3D Sims game is kind of staggering. I've spent many hours on this game as a youth.

It's more or less a remake of the first game but with more polish. It's fun, goofy, and entertaining from start to finish.

i do not like playing the sims on console but i will happily play bustin out.

not as good as the Urbz but close

Una verdadera revolución, puesto que fue el primer Sims que pudimos salir de nuestra casa e ir a otro lugar. Es cierto que en este juego era todo lineal y no podías elegir donde ir, pero aun así, ver al Sims salir y coger la moto era toda una novedad.

its goofy as fuck and kinda charming, but a huge pain in the ASS

I played SO much of this game growing up. Having a list of objectives helps keep someone invested and helps them understand what they may need to do to make progress, which could be considered antithetical to a simulation game like this. I personally think that isn't the case and that Bustin Out benefits from the objective system. Even so, you also have the more open experience as an option, so the game has something for everyone.

My favourite The Sims game, and it's not even nostalgia because I replayed it recently and loved it. It has structure like an RPG rather than a sandbox game.
