Urbz: Sims in the City. Rated E (for everyone) - Crude Humor, Suggestive Themes, Mild Violence.
Urbz is a sims game with a storyline :eek: I know! And you try to take down "The Man" You start out as a janitor at a local hotel/business building, You like your boss but he goes missing and Daddy B. Bucks, "The Man" Baught it, So hes your new boss.. So he fires you.. >_> But your janitor friend hides you in a penthouse on the 4th floor... You can't get out because your "locked in" -.- So you need to steal the keys. Anyway, Later on.
^ A picture of the catalog screen, But you can't order from the catalog -.- Pointless xD
You start out by getting arrested, Oh noes, After you befriend the police man you have to complete missions and stuff, You need to rent a house that you can put your own furniture in and customize it to your liking. After you complete all the tasks in that area, you will unlock a new part of the city, which includes more shops and other houses you can rent from. You can even get a hoverboard and a Chopper to ride around the city on.
Bonuses: Theres 26 locations including the DS version ONLY, Splicer Island, Where you can make 5 pets. There's 8 minigames/jobs that you can do to get money for furniture and other things.
^ A picture of you on the chopper you can get, The thing behind you is a pet you can make on Splicer Island! Woof..
^ One of the many jobs you can do, Comedian, You just run around dodging the tomatoes people throw at you and press buttons to tell jokes. Hey! You can be just like Jerry Seinfeld!
Graphics: As you can see from the pictures, It's kinda blockey, But it was one of the first DS games. So 3/5, It has good color though.
Music/FX: We all know we can't stand the sounds in sims games, From the annoying gibberish language that they speak to the non-stop techno and overly loud televisions. 3/5
Furniture: All though this isn't really a judgable catagory, I think I should rate it anyways. It has good furniture, A big varity, Beds, Couches, TVS, Tables, Ovens, Chairs, Plants, Statues, Etc. 5/5
Gameplay/Replay: Gameplay is good, It was nice to play a sims game with a plot,
You'll catch on fast. 4/5. Replay Value for this game pwnz, I could restart this game and play it over and over. Its easier once you know how to do the tasks and make tons of money 5/5. I've actually replayed it 3 times. But its one of those games that you'll play constantly for a few days, Then you'll get bored and forget about it for a while.
Overall: 4.0 One of the best first games for the DS out there. If you like sims, or you like designing your own house, This is the sims game for you.
I always want to know how I can improve, TELLZ ME :OOOO!!
