Urbz, for Nintendo DS is a portable version of the Sims world. For those of us that are familar with the wide variety of Sims experiences available on PC and on home gaming consoles, this little game makes a fun version to have on hand for waiting in lines, at the doctor's office or traveling. Those of you not initiated into the Sims universe or who are younger gamers will appreciate the turn it on and jump in style of this game. This incarnation of the Sims starts off with the ability to create your own persona and name it...although the choices aren't huge - customization is still satisfying. Got your character ready? GO! Right from the start there are people to talk to and a mini game to play to earn some cash. Your character needs a place to crash, since the bad guy has bought out your building and kicked everybody out! Good thing the janitor needs some help. Food is free and all the items you need are available somewhere in the four story building. (Handy, since you're busted.) Completing easy missions gets you arrested! But, not to worry, the kind Detective may put you in jail, but at least he gets you out of that old building! The cop lets you come and go as you build up your skills and bank roll until you can rent a tenement house. You'll meet lots of people. There are different rep groups and everybody seems to belong to one. You earn points toward the rep groups by making friends and completing missions. The rep group that you earn most points with, may not be the one the game decided you should belong to when you made your character. Graphics are on par with any of the DS games. Details of the items are pretty good and the variety is adequate. This game is LOADED with fun mini games that you play over and over to make money and advance levels in that mini game. Basketball, window washing, medical matching, cards, and motorcross just to name a few. Overall, I say buy it! It's a fun little game to have around. NO violence. Quirky story. Decent graphics. Lots of variety. Not alot of different types of touch pad use, but you don't miss it. On the light side of the Sims world. Worth picking up!Read full review
This game is awesome. There is so much to do too. You can get in with a specific crowd. Theres mini games. You can make money. Collect items. Furnish your house. (There are tons of items and furniture you can collect!) Buy a new house. Unlock things Go to the moon. etc etc etc It has an interesting story line. Theres always something to do! If you liked any sims game or if you liked Nintendogs then you will probably love this too! It has great use of the stylus and the dual screens. It is a light hearted great game. Worth every penny!
I'm a big fan of the sims franchise games. This has a fun story, silly characters and just all around is a good time. I appreciate it coming with the box as well though I think that DS games are pretty pricey considering they're going out the window soon with the switch maybe that's just me.

Really glad I got this and it was a great deal. The game plays exactly like I remember and looks better than I thought it would at this point haha. Really enjoyed this game a decade ago, glad to finally own it again.

Game came complete, with a full case, manual and even the supplemental materials. Game itself is difficult, yet compelling. Overall a cute product of its time, plus a reminder of how The Sims used to play before EA took complete control.
