The Sims Bustin' Out Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A downfall of all the "Sims" games out for the PC is that they require TONS and tons of memory.Running out of memory on my PC and laptop, I had to do some "spring cleaning" and get rid of a few programs.I love all of the "Sims" games, but they just take up too much space.Well, there is a solution to that problem.
"The Sims: Bustin' Out" is now available for PS2, and I admit that I was a little doubtful at first.Nine out of ten times the graphics will never be better than the PC.Well, this is the rare instance where the PS2 version has better graphics than the PC.You get incredible zoom in functions that were very limited to merely clicking on the PC version while on the PS2 you can smoothly zoom in and out with the analog stick.The load time is ten times quicker than it ever was on the PC and the controls are more than adequate, although I must warn you that it does take some time to get used to.The longer you play, the quicker you will get used to the controls.
For those who aren't familiar with the "Sims" games, the premise is pretty simple to follow.It's like living a computerized life.You create people and have them live their lives while making sure all of their needs are met.You can have them live successful and filling lives, or you can be the reason for their torment and suffering.It's up to you.You call the shots and make the decisions.You can either play "Bust Out Mode" or "Free Play" ("Free Play" becomes available once you start "Bust Out Mode" and save).Also, if you have the ability to play games online, this game comes with an online mode that you can play as well.
As I've said, the graphics on the PS2 version are far more superior to that of the PC version.And what's great is that now you can enjoy the wonderful world of "The Sims" without wasting all of that computer memory.It does, however, eat through your Memory Cards (which you need in order to play), so make sure you have one or two that are only for this game and for nothing else.If you only want to create one Sim, then you'll be fine with only one Memory Card that has nothing else saved on it, but if you want to make more, you will need at least another one to go along with that one.That is really the only downfall of the game, but it is something that can be worked around.
Be warned.This game WILL eat up your time without you even being aware of it.What you think will be a simple fifteen minute game can easily turn into a three hour game and you wouldn't even notice.That's how addicting this game is.If you don't have the time to be addicted to a game, then you may want to pass this one up.
"The Sims: Bustin' Out" for the PS2 is a remarkable game that surprisingly outdoes the PC version.The graphics are great, the controls are very workable, and the replay value is off the charts.This is one of the few games that can show you that PC doesn't always mean "better."Save that memory on the PC and pick up the PS2 copy of "Bustin' Out," and let the fun begin. -Michael Crane
