A different version of The Sims where you have goals.
Sims of the type. In these games you still control people and make
them work, learn, etc. But they are very different from "The Sims" and
"The Sims 2". In them you control one character only and you have
specific goals to conquer.
This addition of having goals to complete made the game really interesting, in a way that you have a more focused objective, but at the same time you still have that virtual life characteristic of the sims, where you can decorate your house, live your life the way you want to. It also is the strongest difference between this game and the original The Sims, making it a completely different game.
In Urbz the Sims In The City you control a character that moves to an apartment and you choose in which part of town you will begin. Then you unlock the other neighborhoods as you complete several goals that exist in each of them. In order to do it, you have to wear the clothes and act like most of the people from that place so that you can become friends of the folks and complete your goals. In each of them you have a room where you can sleep, change, etc., some place you can work, have fun, etc.
As you progress through the game you move from the little apartment you had to a bigger one, and keeps improving your life, learning new moves, etc. Sometimes you will need things you learn in one part of town in another one, so you'll be going from one place to another all the time.
The graphics and gameplay of this game are really great, the sound is good too.
I didn't use to like the idea of playing the sims on a console, I've
always preferred it on the computer, but this one I really enjoyed, maybe because it is not a real "the sims", it is definitely one of my favourite games... If you like the sims or virtual life games, you'll probably like this one. If you don't, you could at least try it out once it is so different from the already known the sims...
