4.0 out of 5 stars
A New Style Of Sims Game, 7 May 2005
Graphics: 3/5
The graphics on this game are pretty average. You can easily see what's going on, but it rarely appears to stun. Nothing special here.Sound: 4/5
The musics quite good while your wandering around, especially in places such as Club Xizzle and on the TV. However, the sounds of you fixing your toilet or shower, etc. is a bit annoying and considering things are quite often breaking... Gameplay: 4/5
This game is quite different from previous Sim games for two reasons: a)You control your character by moving then around with the D-pad, as opposed to simply telling them what to do; b)You don't build properties on this, you simply rent ready built ones. You control your designed character and do various tasks in order to stop the evil Daddy Bigbucks. A couple of bad points are that your stats run down too quickly (although upgrades can be bought) and your items break down too easily. Touch/Dual Screen Use: 2/5
There isn't really much use for the touch screen. It normally shows the menus and you can navigate them with touch. Also, some of the minigamesuse it for simple things. Value: 3/5
With seven main missions, a bonus one and four Rep missions, it'll take a while for you to finish it all. However, the replay value is a bit weak once you've finished it. Overall: 4/5
A heavily underated game. I enjoyed playing it and running around with my character playing through the story and unlocking new features. Probably one of the top 10 DS games at the moment.
