"Good, but I liked the other one better"

User Rating: 5.5 | The Sims Bustin' Out XBOX
The Sims Bustin' out is okay, but not as good as the original. The Sims Bustin' Out has tried to make the original sims for consoles a bit better, but comes off as being half baked.

In the Sims bustin' out, they added a few new features to each version.
In the PS2 version, it has a mode where you can take your sims online and go to other houses, a bit stupid as you can just take your sims on a memory card to another person's real house and then they can visit.

On the Xbox version, it supports high definition television, or HDTV for the people who like abbreviations. The game looks much clearer.

On the Gamecube version, you can transfer your sims from the console version of the Sim's bustin' out to the GBA version. You can also unlock some new mini-games for the GBA version.

The graphics for the Sims bustin' out have been improved. The textures are now clearer, there are less jaggies exept for the oh-so-blurry PS2 version.

You can also customise your sims a lot more than on the original sims for consoles.

All these new features are all good but, it just feels like they made it worse somehow. In the Xbox version, even with it's hard drive, only lets you have 8 save files, and they only have 3 free play houses in each of thse save files. There are also a lot of little problems that the original didn't have. You can't put beds up against walls anymore, and the sims seem to wake up at the most inappropriate of moments.

So, in conclusion, the sims bustin' out is okay, but not as good as the original.
