I think that EA was just trying to get on the X-treme bus and have their characters party with slacker bums. Ghetto fabulous is very in right now and this game really overdoes it trying to keep with the fad. This need to provide so many ghetto uniforms slows this game down even more than the average Sims game. It takes a lot more power than a console to play something that constantly tracks so many people. On the plus side though, the images are beautiful and the jobs are a lot more fun than the prior Sims games. The outfits are more fun too. Unfortunately, the game doesn't award you for revamping your style; just changing your shirt to blend in with the flock will do the trick when you change levels. The clothes changing is fun, the first five or six times, but soon the whole game gets boring to the point that you're desperate to finish just to say you can.
