The Sims can now be played from your Game Boy Advance. But don't expect the usual Bustin Out as on the consoles. You could almost call this an addictive RPG.
GRAPHICS.
The Game Boy tries hard to replicate the amazing visuals on the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube but really struggles. But for the size of the graphics chip and cartoony visuals, it is amazing. Sims Bustin Out really brings out the true graphics of the GBA and the characters are colourful and the backgrounds and mini games also look very good.

GAMEPLAY.
The Sims is usually a family that are bought together and then control their lives from dating to getting pets, throwing parties to becoming famous. It's all there. But Bustin Out focuses on one character that you wanted. Fully costumisable from the beggining as you start by becoming a low life street prowler and newkid on the farm instead of the SimCity. The missions are very straightforward, how I like it. There are occasional glitches and most missions are very easy. How you treat another Sim is how the react to your particular comments. Uncle Hayseed will stand by you, should be good. It is about reputation and money from moving to a barn to something like a mansion at the end of the game with clock towers and nice villas in the middle. It is a stunning joy to play.

LIFESPAN.
This will take a while to 100% it and with multiplayer it is a brilliant game. It hasn't got good replay value and that definitely effects the final conclusion.
So Sims hits our handhelds very hard. It tries so hard but we can't compare it to the console versions or the PC. But despite the annoyance if you treat the game realistically, the game will be very rewarding.
