    It puts a whole new spin on the series and it is as good as it is going to get in terms of being a portable version of the game we all know and like.

    This version veers even farther from its PC roots, with linear level progression and even (gasp!) RPG-style conversation that gives you options of what to say to people you meet. [Jan 2004, p.160]

    As easy as The Sims Bustin’ Out on the GBA is, it’s surprising that the game offers so much lasting appeal, clocking in at nearly 20 hours.

    But the game just isn’t The Sims. You can’t just do whatever you want and the mission driven game is just a little too simplistic to be overly fun.

    Oh my goodness! One of the best games I have EVER played! But, I bought the "double Bed" And my sim DID NOT have kids. So whoever says you can, you are SERIOUSLY WRONG.… Expand

    I played this game for two hours until I realized that, with the exception of the thoroughly average mini-game, I still hadn't done anything that required an ounce of thought or skill. A beautiful, well-designed game that's completely hollow inside, fit only for professional game reviewers and/or OCD sufferers.… Expand
