Even the addition of crazy new Social moves like Break Dance and Booty Tease make interactions with other Sims much more fun than they were in previous titles. [Jan 2003, p.48]
It's somehow mind-numbingly mundane and brilliantly addictive at the same time. [Jan 2004, p.92]
Sims fans should bust out of their homes and bust on down to their favorite store to pick up The Sims Bustin’ Out.
Tweaked sounds and graphics make it look slightly better and sound slightly nicer, but it’s not really a sequel in the true sense of the word. The Sims Bustin’ Out adds logical improvements to an already winning formula without blowing us away with any stunning revelations.
Worth a look-see, but memory card requirements effectively banish this one to the realm of "Either buy it, or don't bother."
The GameCube and GBA versions have possibly the most exciting exclusive option, with players able to download special mini-games to their GBA which will earn them Simoleons and other goodies to use in the Cube game.
There is more freedom in career choices, less intense caretaking, plus a few console specific features. But the gameplay is old hat for previous console players.
