Sims Bustin Out (Nokia N-Gage)
Sims Bustin Out (Nokia N-Gage)
Customer Review: The SIMple life
now….first of all we should make one thing clear,apart from the fact you can “bust out” this is nothing like the console/pc versions of the game.One of the big differences are you now control your sim directly,instead of clicking on an object and watching your sim walk to it.Wich leads me to one of the games flaws,as in all other versions you can visit other destinations but running around the town becomes very annoying, of course you can always take your scooter,but be warned it handles like a sofa.another change for the n-gage version is you now act out the tasks at your sims place of work for instance your first job involves mowing lawns,and is suprisingly fun.Overall this isnt a bad game,but…..it isnt a great game either,if you liked the sims you wont necessarily like this game,and with a few other great games coming along soon it might be worth saving your money and bodyswerving this turkey.
Customer Review: Cute graphics, very addictive gameplay
This is essentially the GBA version of Sims: Bustin Out but with additional items (such as a sauna, a karaoke machine etc) and locations (Paradise Island), and online multiplayer mini-games based around your character’s mobile phone (which themselves unlock new items which seem to get added to the system periodically over the internet).
…and it’s really good!
I could not stop playing this when I got it, partly because it’s open-ended and freeform, you can wander from one place to another with a huge variety of tasks and mini-games to play and lovely little details hidden away in the town like squirrels playing in beautifully windy leaves. It’s all animated wonderfully, I know it’s isometric but it’s the prettiest isometric you’ve ever seen.
It really suits being on the n-gage too, because S:BO is well suited to varied lengths of gameplay: you can play it for hours or you can play it for a few minutes, so it’s nice to have it in your phone for when some unexpected moment of boredom approaches.
