The Urbz: Sims in the City City Guide
We give you a look at where to go and what to do in EA's urban Sims game.
EA and Maxis' latest console entry in the Sims franchise, The Urbz, puts an urban spin on the popular Sims premise. You'll be asked to guide an Urb through its daily life in the big city. Like in the previous Sims console games, you'll travel to different 'hoods with distinctly unique flavors. To give you an idea of just how much variety there is in the game, we're offering a visitor's guide to the faces, places, and spaces of the Urbz.

BACKGROUND
Urbz Society and Conduct in the City
Black clothes, thick wallets, and thin waistlines are always the latest fashions it seems, but there isn't any one look you can adopt to fit into this city. Money still talks, but you've gotta have the rep and style to match your green if you want to make the scene. Appropriate attire is required everywhere. From Gasoline Row, where chaps and denim jeans are the fit, down to Central Station, where leather and lace blend as formal wear, out to 125th Street, where anything less than the coolest, hippest trends means you don't get in. It's style, it's attitude, and it's reputation.
Don't let yourself be spotted as an outsider--learn the moves and use 'em right to win the night. Staring up at the skyscrapers like you've never seen the city before will brand you as a tourist. But knowing the right greeting or how to jive with the folks in your local district makes all the difference between getting access and getting locked out.
What'll surprise you the most when visiting each district in the city is how people respond to you. They're not necessarily mean; in fact, they're amazingly friendly if you treat them with the appropriate respect. The denizens of the nine districts consider the districts cultural hubs and are a great resource for learning how to navigate the "mean streets" and live the dream in a city with a thousand stories.
In this City Guide to The Urbz: Sims in the City we'll walk you down each avenue and each uncharted alleyway and give you an insider's peek at what makes each district so distinct that the natives here stopped giving directions and now tell everyone, "Just take the metro; it'll put you in the heart of where you want to be...and it's damn cheaper than parking!"

The Urbz: Sims in the City Review
Maxis' bold changes to The Sims formula aren't all for the better, but they make The Urbz a very distinctive and surprisingly solid game.
