Full Review

The Sims Bustin' Out is a great game for fans of The Sims who can't bear to leave their Sims at home!

With 16 locations, the game offers plenty of chances for your Sims to get out and around. The game is "goal-oriented", meaning that as you meet certain goals, your Sim will unlock new items, locations, etc. The "mini-games" that help you reach certain goals are fun, too.

If you own The Sims Bustin' Out for the Nintendo Gamecube, you can "move" one of your Sims back and forth from the Gamecube to the Gameboy. You'll need the connector cable for this; we bought one for only $4.99 at our local GameStop.

Game play is smooth and fast; the scrolling is easy, with no "jumpiness" at all. I highly recommend playing on the Gameboy Advance SP - the backlit screen makes the details really "pop".
