 Better Than the Others December 28, 2004

True you have to wait a little while when you change clothes or location but it its not very long and they play music you find yourself dancing to. What is great about this game is (1) You get to go to work with your Sim and you are actually doing the work. I highly recommend the bartending and the sushi shop. They are fun. And you get more money. (2) There is no limit to how much you can put in your house. It drove me crazy in Bustin Out when I had 100,000 Sim bucks and I couldn't add more furniture cause it as maxed out. (3) If you suck at keeping friends like I did then this game is def for you. All you have to do is keep interacting with any other Sim and you get rep. Its easy.
The only downer I unlocked most the stuff in two days but its still fun.
Really addicting and so much fun November 25, 2005

It was a cold November day and I was coming home from school. The time was about 12:30. I turned on my PS2. I played The Urbz yesterday so it was still inserted. Next time I checked my alarm clock, the time was 14:45. I was shocked. I had been playing it for about 2 hours with no break excepting the time I walked to the kitchen brabbing a bag of choc chip cookies. I got it like last Christmas and I haven't got bored of it yet. Yesterday, I started a new game as an Urb named: Amy Goodmorning. I have unlocked all of the districts but I haven't unlocked Darius' Penthouse. The reasons, I cheated of course. And for your cheating pleasure, here are some of the codes. If you don't like cheating, then scroll down.
Cheat gnome: O, L1, L2, R2, R1
Max Physical skill: L1, R1, Down, X, L3
Max Artistic skill: L3, R3, R1, R2, O
All Power Socials: Triangle, R2, L1, X, Square
The Max Mental skill cheat never works so I won't put it in here.
Let's get one thing straight. This game is very kid-friendly. Really. First of all: Even though the Urbz are supposed to be "urban", "edgy" and "gritty", they do not, I repeat, DO NOT take any kind of drugs. Nope. Nuh-uh. Never. Next: There is no swearing. The only swearing you'll hear is: Nitimala, suggodagga birika or nonsense like that. Next: The violence is minimum. Violence? Two guys jumping at each other disappearing in a cloud of dust but you occasionaly seeing them crouching (just crouching) and then when the dust clears, one is lying on the floor and the other is standing. Wow. Violent.
Now, the manual is totally useless like some other guys say. Also, the pets are awful. They alway pee on everything. EVERYTHING! Once, I was showering, then a stupid cat walks in, lyes down right in the front of the shower and pees there. I couldn't get out of the shower until it finally moved but I walked right into the puddle and my Hygenie level went DOWN, so I had to shower again. But the jobs are more fun now. Instead of getting into a bus and waiting for the Urb to come home. Now you play the job. Yay.
Here is a rundown on the pros and cons. It had to come sooner or later.
Pros:
1. It's so addicting you'll lose track of time.
2. No drugs, language or sex.
3. Great graphics.
4. The Black Eyed Peas are in this game.
5. The Black Eyed Peas have songs in this game.
6. The songs all have human vocals.
7. It's not as challenging as The Sims: Bustin Out.
8. It's fun.
Cons:
1. Too short.
2. Dumb idiots are always making you pay rent for apartments you don't even visit.
8 pros, 2 cons. This game is really flawed, isn't it.

A review from "Christmas Receiverr" November 15, 2005

Well to start my review i'm gonna tell you straight off the bat, this game is TOTALLY worth buying. This is coming from a Sims fan.
Compared to the computer game and previous Sims games for game consoles, this game is great. The abilities in talking to people are great, for example when you become friends with someone, complete a job, or complete a goal you earn a social skill. Some are: Gamble, Blow Flame, and Grab Booty. They are very advanced and the other people you are doing it to respond.
The apartments you get are good.You get a pet with each apartment. The first apartment is useless. The second one, Blankwood Towers is more reasonable (especially since the game has a 2 player mode and i share the apartment with my sister's character), and Darius's Penthouse is THE BEST! i dont wanna tell everythong about his penthouse 'cause that would be no fun right? The citties are also fun. My favorites are: Neon East, Central Station, and Cozmo Street( because the Black Eyed Peas are there and they rock cause they are my fave band)
The clothing is so cool too. You can get a variety of piercings, tattoos, clothes that relate to the place you are in, hairstyles, makeup, sunglasses, etc. The clothes and accessories are so advanced, but u need money from the jobs which u help your Sim do.
You can also buy furnishings for your homes. Couches, plasma screen TVs, wallpapers, etc. are some things.
The levels are also semi-easy which is a plus so you dont get tired with the same old place and challenge.
You can also see you face on Billboards, T-Shirts, Posters, etc. too!!!!
In conclusion i recommend this game because it is very interesting and very graphically advanced. You will enjoy this game no matter what the age 'cause it is very addicting (trust me). It is well worth the money. I would like to thank the makers of the game too cause i would be lost without it! So i hope you found my review helpful and that you buy the game!

The Urbz is about the best game ever! You rent your apartment, and unlock pets and reputation. You can go to many different places, and make some friends. Challenges are made by your friends, and your face appears on posters in town!
YOU COULD BE THE MOST POPULAR SIM IN THE CITY!!!

This game is the best ever! New outfits, furniture, unlock pets, and reputation. Start a good relationship, VISIT MANY PLACES, your face will appear on posters! Black Eyed Peas are in the city! You should rent it first, but I was hooked! I then knew I HAD to buy it!
