Description
Spin-off game based on the successful The Sims franchise by Electronic Arts. Also available on game consoles, this handheld incarnation of The Urbz: Sims in the City benefits from the one-of-a-kind Nintendo DS capabilities by offering players a touch-screen input and a multitude of in-game features that are not available in any other version of the game.


Exclusive features for the Nintendo DS include 24 objects, a unique touch-screen menu system, custom painting mode, 6 new minigames, 7 new characters and 5 unique pet species that players can create with the special in-game gene manipulator.

Special Features
Build your reputation within the world, outside your hood, and through characters you'll hang with. Your goal is to be the biggest player in the city with ultimate access to the hottest places and people; an all-new character engine turns your urbz into hip city dwellers. Take your urbz out on the town to swanky new hot spots like the sushi bar, vip club, or even out to get a tattoo at the tattoo parlor; you now control your urbz 24/7 in the city that never sleeps. You directly control your urbz on the job to make sushi or strip down motorcycles, etc., to earn simoleans and gain access to new social interactions! Motive gameplay is more elegant than ever so that you fulfill your motives quicker and even have limited motives to manage in specific situations. You can bounce into a hip boutique and change your look in-game from Rasta to rap, affecting how the world perceives you; choose to live in one of nine districts, each with its own unique inhabitants and their lifestyles. Depending on which district you pick your gameplay experience and the way you earn your reputation will be different.

    Urbz, for Nintendo DS is a portable version of the Sims world. For those of us that are familar with the wide variety of Sims experiences available on PC and on home gaming consoles, this little game makes a fun version to have on hand for waiting in lines, at the doctor's office or traveling. Those of you not initiated into the Sims universe or who are younger gamers will appreciate the turn it on and jump in style of this game. This incarnation of the Sims starts off with the ability to create your own persona and name it...although the choices aren't huge - customization is still satisfying. Got your character ready? GO! Right from the start there are people to talk to and a mini game to play to earn some cash. Your character needs a place to crash, since the bad guy has bought out your building and kicked everybody out! Good thing the janitor needs some help. Food is free and all the items you need are available somewhere in the four story building. (Handy, since you're busted.) Completing easy missions gets you arrested! But, not to worry, the kind Detective may put you in jail, but at least he gets you out of that old building! The cop lets you come and go as you build up your skills and bank roll until you can rent a tenement house. You'll meet lots of people. There are different rep groups and everybody seems to belong to one. You earn points toward the rep groups by making friends and completing missions. The rep group that you earn most points with, may not be the one the game decided you should belong to when you made your character.

    Graphics are on par with any of the DS games. Details of the items are pretty good and the variety is adequate. This game is LOADED with fun mini games that you play over and over to make money and advance levels in that mini game. Basketball, window washing, medical matching, cards, and motorcross just to name a few.

    Overall, I say buy it! It's a fun little game to have around. NO violence. Quirky story. Decent graphics. Lots of variety. Not alot of different types of touch pad use, but you don't miss it. On the light side of the Sims world. Worth picking up!
