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.

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

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.

not as good as the Urbz but close


This is one of those sequels that feels like an expansion pack to the Sims console game. It has more costumes, more options, and even a co-op mode. There are some let downs, like the huge differences between story mode and free play (in terms of characters, neighbors, and house customization), but overall it's a fun game if you like the genre.

Fiquei viciado, joguei por 23 horas seguidas, esse é muito bom.

A much better console Sims game than the first one or the Urbz.

The best Sims game I have ever played. :)

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.

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!

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

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

Essa versão de the sims é bem bacana, tinha algumas coisas que n tinha no the sims 2 de ps2 ent por isso joguei mt tbm.

>> Prós
• MULTIPLAYER LOCAL.
• FILHO : Outro spin-off de The Sims com um elemento único pra plataforma da época, a possibilidade de ter filhos no game é leg.

>> Contras
• TELA MULTIPLAYER : A tela multiplayer do The Sims 2 no PS2 era melhor, a do Sims Bustin' Out deixa cortado na diagonal.

A goofy ass game for very unserious people. The plot in this one is quite simple; couch surf until you reach the highest success while helping your neighbors KILL their landlord. It's awesome.

I like the Sims spin-offs so much and this one is also a groovy time, but I found it lacking it's own unique style in comparison to The Urbz. (Aside from the music, that part slaps.)

The short campaign is fun to get through once but I wouldn't dabble past that unless you care to have all of the reward furniture for Freeplay. It gets quite repetitive afterwards, and if I'm being honest, I don't particularly care for Freeplay Sims in a console game. If I wanted to play Freeplay Sims, I'd just do it on the mainline PC games. I just like that the campaigns in these games give us something different from Freeplay.

My only real complaint is that it's incredibly annoying to maintain friendships in this game because it seems like almost everyone is just enraged at all times. Lack of friendships affects your ability to get promoted and it's a pain in the ass. It's also a random story beat that your Sim gets married and has a child, but they offer nothing other than just being more characters to take care of while you're already tearing your hair out trying to keep your Sim in a good enough mood to keep their job they work at 7 DAYS A WEEK, God bless their soul.

The papergirl whistle is stuck in my head ‘till this day.

It’s a zaniest version of the sims. You get rewards by completely tasks (which take a little bit) and all the rewards feel worth it. All the Sims are expressive and goofy.

You can take those rewards to free play for a more traditional free play.

Btw, Mimi is your stepsister. Almost all of us unknowingly romanced her before (;

You had babies by kissing. Finally a game that is accurate to real life.
